General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO)  

 

GPIOs for TOBY-L1 series modules are not supported by initial firmware release, except for the Network 
Status Indication function over the GPIO1 pin only (for detail, refer to 1.14.1); these pins should be not 
driven by any external device. Check firmware release schedule.   

 

GPIOs are not accessible for MPCI-L1 series modules. 

2.7.1.1

 

Guidelines for GPIO circuit design 

The following application circuits are suggested as general guideline for the usage of the GPIO pins available 
with the TOBY-L1 series modules, according to the related custom function. 
 

•

 

Network status indication

: 

The pin configured to provide the “Network status indication” function, the 

GPIO1

, can be connected on 

the application board to an input pin of an application processor or can drive a LED by a transistor with 
integrated resistors to indicate network status. 

 
Figure 36 describes an application circuit for a typical usage of the GPIOs off the TOBY-L1 series modules:

Use transistors with at least an integrated resistor in the base pin or otherwise put a 10 k

Ω

 resistor on the 

board in series to the GPIO. 

 

ESD sensitivity rating of the GPIO pins is 1 kV (Human Body Model according to JESD22-A114).  
Higher protection level could be required if the lines are externally accessible and it can be achieved by 
mounting an ESD protection (e.g. EPCOS CA05P4S14THSG varistor array) close to accessible points. 

 

Before a TOBY-L1 series module is fully ready to operate, no voltage drives from a host should apply to 
any GPIO of the module. 

 

If the GPIO pins are not used, they can be left unconnected on the application board. 

2.7.1.1

 

Guidelines for GPIO layout design 

The general purpose input/output pins are generally not critical for layout.
