3.6 GPO Mapping and Controller State Code

The following table describes all the relevant GPO mapping for the GPO pins of the ATA8352 UWB device. Activate them by using register A21. All the other GPO configurations are reserved; use them only for validation and device test functions. The GPIO in the ATA8350 UWB device is renamed GPO in the ATA8352 UWB device.

The following table lists the controller state codes for debugging on the GPO pins when using GPOMUX = 31 mode.

There are changes in the ATA8352 UWB device compared to the ATA8350 UWB device in the GPO descriptions. For example, 1011/1100, which aligns to the internal reference counter in the RXo Operating mode, is not available in the ATA8350 UWB device.
