Refer to Section 1.2 “Module Configuration” for details. When connected to host MCU, set the pin connected to pin P1_6 in either high impedance or drive pin low during firmware start-up (approximately 22 msec). — — 14 5 P1_7 D Configurable pin. Refer to Section 1.2 “Module Configuration” for details. 9 11 15 15 P2_7 D O/p UART_TX_IND output pin. Provides indication if RN4870 is transmitting to host MCU over UART. Pulled low before UART TX begins and pulled high after UART TX is over. 10 12 — — P1_1 D I/O GPIO; default: Input; pulled-high A I/p AD9 Configured as the BLEDK_STATUS1_IND pin by default 11 13 2 3 P1_2 D I/O GPIO; default: Input; pulled-high A I/p AD10; I2C SCL pin 12 14 3 4 P1_3 D I/O GPIO; default: Input; pulled-high AD11; I2C SDA pin 13 15 8 11 P0_0 D I/O GPIO; default: Input; pulled-high AD0 Configured as the UART_CTS pin by default 14 16 — — P1_0 D I/O GPIO; default: Input; pulled-high AD8 Configured as the BLEDK_STATUS2_IND pin by default 15 17 6 9 P3_6 D I/O GPIO; default: Input; pulled-high (only for RN4870) Configured as the UART_RTS pin by default 16 18 16 16 P2_0 D I/p System configuration input; 1: Application mode 0: Test mode/Flash update/EEPROM configuration Default: Input; pulled-high 17 19 — — P2_4 D I/O GPIO; default: Input; pulled-high 18 20 — — NC — No Connection 19 21 7 10 RST_N D I/p Module Reset; active-low; Internally pulled-high 20 22 5 7 UART_RX D I/p UART Data input 21 23 4 8 UART_TX D O/p UART Data output 22 24 — — P3_1 D I/O GPIO; default: Input; pulled-high Configured as RSSI_IND pin by default; SPI NCS Bus 23 25 — — P3_2 D I/p GPIO; default: Input; pulled-high Configured as the LINK_DROP pin by default; SPI MISO pin 24 26 — — P3_3 D I/p GPIO; default: Input; pulled-high Configured as the UART RX Indication pin by default; SPI MOSI pin 25 27 — — P3_4 D I/p GPIO; default: Input; pulled-high Configured as the PAIRING_KEY pin by default; SPI SCLK pin DS50002489D-page 4 2016-2019 Microchip Technology Inc.
