20VBATT_BUCKPowerBattery supply for DC/DC converter(1)
21VSWPowerSwitching output of DC/DC converter(1)
22VREG_BUCKPower
  • Core power from DC/DC converter(1)
  • Decouple with 10 µF and 0.01 µF capacitor to GND and place these capacitors as recommended in Power Management Unit
23CHIP_ENAnalog
  • Module enable pin
  • High level enables the module and low level places module in Power-Down mode
  • By default, connect a host output to low at power-up; if the host output is tristated, add a 1 MΩ pull-down resistor to ensure a low level at power-up

32I2C_SCLDigital I/O, Programmable Pull-Up
  • I2C slave clock (high-drive pad, see ATWINC15x0B Electrical Characteristics table)

  • Currently, used only for debug development

  • Leave unconnected

  • It is recommended to add Test Point (TP) to this pin

33I2C_SDADigital I/O, Programmable Pull-Up
  • I2C slave data (high-drive pad, see ATWINC15x0B Electrical Characteristics table)
  • Currently, used only for debug development

  • Leave unconnected

  • It is recommended to add Test Point (TP) to this pin

34RESETNDigital Input
  • Active-low hard Reset

  • Assert low to put the module in Reset state

  • Assert high to put the module in Normal state and move it out of Reset state

  • By default, connect a host output to low at power-up; if the host output is tri-stated, add a 1 MΩ pull-down resistor to ensure a low level at power-up
