Logic Level Specifications
Where not specifically stated, all the interface circuits work at 1.8V CMOS logic levels.
The following table shows the logic level specifications used in the HE920 interface circuits:

Using a GPIO Pad as Input
The GPIO pads, when used as inputs, can be connected to a digital output of another device
and report its status, provided this device has interface levels compatible with the 1.8V
CMOS levels of the GPIO.
If the digital output of the device is connected with the GPIO input, the pad has interface
levels different from the 1.8V CMOS. It can be buffered with an open collector transistor with
a 47KΩ pull-up resistor to 1.8V.
