Recommendations for Less Consumption

For better power consumption, in particular for the quiescent current, it is recommended to drive the
GPIOs as shown in the table below.

Table 4:

GPIO2 is dedicated for WISMO_READY and is not open as GPIO purpose for customer use.

GPIO4 is dedicated for TX burst indication and is not open as GPIO purpose for customer use.

** When GPIO5 is used as a general purpose output, it is necessary to have an external pull up resistor connecting to a
2.8V source. Resistance value depends on the current drain required by the application side.
