3.8. General Purpose Input/Output

The AirPrime WISMO218 provides up to 3 General Purpose I/Os. They are used to control any
external device such as an LCD or a Keyboard backlight.

These GPIOs offer the possibility to read the pin state whatever their direction may be.

Caution: 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.
