Note:
1. In default, UART2 (pin1 and pin2) are used for bypass communication and UART0
(pin16 and pin17) are used for output of debugging information and burning firmware. Please
refer to the description in DC Characteristics for UART output current level.
2. PDN is hardware reset for the module and will be effective with VIL. Configuration
information will be remained after module reset. The module has pull-up process for PDN
designed internally.
3. In default, PIN13 (GPIO8) is the PIN for external LED indicator to show the module
configuration status and output VIH after configuration is successful.
4. In default, PIN14 (GPIO5) is the module software reset PIN and will be effective with
VIH. The previous configuration information will be cleared after the module is reset (reset to
factory settings).
5. The module supports max 4 channels of external interruption simultaneously except
GPIO25 and UART0.
6. The ADC is 10bit with input voltage 0-2V
7. The power supply VDD should not be lower than 3.3V.
4.3. PCB Antenna
Please refer to Fig 2 for PCB antenna. Please avoid to place any electrical components,
wiring or grounding under PCB antenna area on main board and it’s better to leave this area
blank on PCB.
