## **4.3.2 Module Selectable RF In/Output** 

The module’s RF-output can be switched between the on-board ceramic chip antenna and the 50 Ω RF-pad (pin I13) output by adjusting the voltage level on pin B12 (SPDT2) and pin B13 (SPDT1). If pin B12 and pin B13 are not connected (NC), the on-board ceramic chip antenna will be fed. This default configuration is applied by internal 100 kΩ pull-resistors.

## **4.3.4 Power up Sequence and Reset** 

## **Pull-Resistors on strapping Pins are needed at Power-up** 

Please note that the default boot settings that are applied by ESP32-S2 internal pull resistors, do not work when the module is powered up. 

Permanent pull resistors may be needed in the end product! 

Please follow the described power up sequence, when powering the device. 

Make sure that the reset signal is active (CHIP_PU = low), when the module is powered. After the supply voltage VDD has risen to a level of 2.8 V and the time t0 has passed, the reset signal can be activated (voltage on CHIP_PU >= VIL_nRST_max = 0.25 VDD). 

If the device is active, this can be reset by activating the reset signal (CHIP_PU = low → CHIP_PU = high). 

Please note that CHIP_PU must be low (voltage below VIL_nRST_max) for at least t1 to reset the chip.

## **4.3.5 Strapping Pins** 

## **Pull-Resistors on strapping Pins needed at Power-up** 

Please note that the default settings that are applied by ESP32-S2 internal pull resistors, do not work when the module is powered up. 

Permanent pull resistors may be needed in the end product! 

Three pins of the PAN9520 are evaluated at boot-up to set up the module’s mode and behavior. These pins are called “strapping pins”. This section explains their function in more detail. 

The three mentioned strapping pins are GPIO0, GPIO45, and GPIO46. Their voltage level is captured during each reset and boot-up caused by one of the following sources: power-on-reset, RTC watchdog reset, brownout reset, analog super watchdog reset, and crystal clock glitch detection reset. The detected level of each strapping pin is written to the register GPIO_STRAPPING as zero (low level) or one (high level). The captured values are kept until the next reset. After boot-up, all strapping bits are available in the register GPIO_STRAPPING (read only) and thus the strapping pins can be used as usual pins. 

Each strapping pin level can be set-up by applying an external voltage from a different I/O or a pull-resistor. Besides, weak chip-internal pull-resistors determine the default level of the pins at boot-up caused by a reset. Please note that the pull-resistors are activated too late if the module’s power supply is switched on. Therefore, the module will start in download mode when the module is connected to the power supply and if no external pull resistors are used. 

In the following, the strapping functionality and default level is described for each of the three pins.

4 Specification 

PAN9520 Wi ‑ Fi Module 

## **GPIO0** 

GPIO0 determines, if the device does a normal boot and runs an application or if it enters the download mode, in which data can be written to the QSPI flash. Per default, the pin is set to “1” by a weak chip-internal pull-up resistor. This makes the device entering the usual boot mode. Applying a zero (low level) to the pin at boot-up makes the device entering the download mode. 

## **GPIO45** 

Be aware that GPIO45 must be left open or pulled down at boot-up. Applying a high-level voltage causes malfunction of the PAN9520 device. 

GPIO45 determines the voltage of the QSPI Flash and PSRAM. The mounted QSPI memories expect a voltage of 3.3 V. This is applied, if GPIO45 is set to a low level at boot-up. This is done by a chip-internal weak pull-down resistor. Therefore, the pin must be left open or pulled to ground at boot-up. A high level on GPIO45 at boot-up causes malfunction of the PAN9520 module. 

**==> picture [31 x 30] intentionally omitted <==**

**----- Start of picture text -----**<br>
©<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


Please note that the functionality of GPIO45 can be disabled by setting the eFuse bit VDD_SPI_FORCE (OTP) to “1”. In this case, the voltage is defined by the eFuse bit VDD_SPI_TIEH (OTP). 

## **GPIO46** 

Be aware that applying a high level to GPIO46 will trigger unexpected behavior, if GPIO0 is set to a low level (download mode). 

The pre-installed first stage bootloader of the ESP32-S2 can print several information, when running. The values of eFuse UART_PRINT_CONTROL (OTP) and GPIO46 determine if this functionality is enabled. The different configurations are explained in the following: 

|**Value of UART_PRINT_CONTROL**|**Value of GPIO46**|**Print Setting**|
|---|---|---|
|0|- Printin|- Printingduringboot-upis enabled.|
|1|0 Printin|0 Printingduringboot-upis enabled.|
||1 Printin|1 Printingduringboot-upis disabled.|
|2|0 Printin|0 Printingduringboot-upis disabled.|
||1 Printin|1 Printingduringboot-upis enabled.|
|3|- Printin|- Printingduringboot-upis disabled.|



Product Specification Rev. 1.0 

Page 23 of 51 

 > PAN9520 Wi ‑ Fi Module 4 Specification 

## Panasonic 4 Specification 

The value of UART_PRINT_CONTROL is zero at delivery of the module. Therefore, the level on GPIO46 at boot-up has not any effect if the device is in boot mode (GPIO0=low). Anyway, if the device is started in download mode (GPIO=high), the level on GPIO46 must be a low level. 

## @ 

Please note that the chip-internal weak pull-down resistor makes the strapping bit to be low, if the pin is left open. 

## **Summary** 

The following table summarizes the description that has been made previously: 

|**Pin**|**Default**|**Level during boot**|**Description**|
|---|---|---|---|
|GPIO0|Pull-up (one)|Low (zero)|Download mode (Flash memorycan be written)|
|||High (one)|Boot mode (device continues booting an<br>application)|
|GPIO45|Pull-down (zero)|Low (zero)|QSPI memory is powered by 3.3 V|
|||High (one)|QSPI memoryispowered by1.8 V (not allowed)|
