Functional Configuration
The GPIO pads can be configured using the GPIO_CFG_IO_MODE bit field from the GPIO_CFG_* registers:
- For a variety of digital output modes
- For a general-purpose digital input mode, with the input function configured by the GPIO_SRC_* registers
The "GPIO Use Case Multiplexing" table contains a list of the multiplexed functional modes for which GPIOs can be configured.
In addition to standard digital functional configuration, certain GPIOs can be configured for operation in both run and low power modes, such as Sleep Mode. Specifically:
• | Wakeup functionality is only available on GPIO[0:3]; see Power Modes for more information. |
• | The RTC clock can be output on GPIO0; see Clock Generation for more information. |
• | The PWM (always-on) can be output on GPIO4; see PWM for more information. |
• | The simple DAC can be output on GPIO7; see Simple Low-Power DAC for more information. |
These special modes require the GPIO to be placed in a high impedance mode, with its digital input and output driver disabled (GPIO_MODE_DISABLE), and all pull-up or pull-down resisters disabled.
IMPORTANT: To prevent cross-talk with the SWD debugging interface, which can potentially crash the IDE, we recommend that you do not run high frequency signals (greater then 1 MHz) on GPIO2 while debugging with the RSL15 Evaluation and Development Board. |
CAUTION: While a GPIO can be configured to be both an output and an input, it is the user application's responsibility to ensure that the GPIO is not driving an output to a pad that is also being driven externally. If a GPIO pad signal has two drivers, the physical values and inputs that are read from this pad are considered undefined. |

JTAG I/O Functional Configuration
When configured for serial wire (SW) mode, only the reserved SWCLK and SWDIO pads are used by the SWJ-DP interface. When configured for JTAG mode, the SWJ-DP interface uses the following additional pads along with the reserved pads to form a 4- or 5-wire JTAG interface:
- GPIO 2 configured as TDO
- GPIO 3 configured as TDI
- GPIO 4 configured as TRST (5-wire JTAG interface only)
The GPIO_CFG_IO_MODE bit field in the GPIO_CFG registers is overridden for GPIO 4, when CM33_JTAG_TRST_ENABLED is set using the GPIO_JTAG_SW_PAD_CFG_CM33_JTAG_TRST_EN bit from the GPIO_JTAG_SW_PAD_CFG register. The GPIO_CFG_IO_MODE bit field in the GPIO_CFG registers is overridden for GPIOs 2 and 3, when CM33_JTAG_DATA_ENABLED is set using the CM33_JTAG_DATA_EN bit from the GPIO_JTAG_SW_PAD_CFG register.
Analog Test Output
The analog test output (AOUT) can be used to provide access to internal analog and digital signals for test and debug purposes.
IMPORTANT: All signals that are output using AOUT are available for test measurement and debug only. Power supply signals routed to AOUT must not be used to supply external components. |
The AOUT signal is configured using the ACS_AOUT_CTRL register, which has the following configuration options:
Test Signal Selection
The ACS_AOUT_CTRL_TEST_AOUT bit-field is used to select the test signal that is output on AOUT. The ACS_AOUT_CTRL_AOUT_IOUT_SEL_TO_GPIO selects between the output of an AOUT test voltage and a current source output based on the PTAT (proportional to absolute temperature) current source used by the power management unit. This must be configured to match the ACS_AOUT_CTRL_TEST_AOUT configuration selecting SEL_IOUT_TO_GPIO for any current source output, and SEL_AOUT_TO_GPIO for all other outputs.
GPIO
The ACS_AOUT_CTRL_AOUT_TO_GPIO bit-field is used to select which GPIO the AOUT test signal is routed to. If a GPIO is configured to output the AOUT test signal, the GPIO output buffer and pull resistors are automatically disabled to ensure that analog circuitry connected through AOUT is not damaged.
IMPORTANT: The ACS_AOUT_CTRL register is also used to configure the RTC output on GPIO 0. Care must be taken when using this register for both use cases, to avoid zeroing out the AOUT configuration when configuring for RTC output and vice versa. |
