TABLE 1-4: CONFIGURABLE FUNCTIONS AND DESCRIPTIONS Function Name Description
Low Battery Indication Pin output goes low when the VDD is below a specified level. To set the threshold level, change the EEPROM settings. Status 1 Use this indication pin along with the Status 2 pin to indicate the current status of the module. Refer to Table 1-5 for details of the status indication. Status 2 Use this indication pin along with the Status 1 pin to indicate the current status of the module. Refer to Table 1-5 for details of the status indication. RSSI Indication Use this indication pin to indicate the quality of the link based on the RSSI level. If the RSSI level is lower than the specified threshold value, then the RSSI indication pin goes low. Set the threshold for the RSSI link quality in EEPROM. Link Drop When the RN4870/71 is connected to a remote device, the host MCU can use the Link Drop pin to force the module to disconnect the link and enter Shutdown state. The pin needs to be pulled low for at least 10 ms. UART RX Indication Use this pin to enable communication with the UART when the module is in Low- Power mode. When not in Low-Power mode, the module runs on a 16 MHz clock. If Low-Power mode is enabled on the module by using command SO,1, the module runs on a 32 kHz clock thus reducing power consumption. However, in Low-Power mode, the host MCU cannot communicate with the module via the UART since the UART is not operational. If the user intends to provide data or commands via UART in the Low-Power mode, then the UART RX INDICATION pin must be pulled low and the user needs to wait for at least five milliseconds before sending the data. Pulling the UART RX INDICATION pin low allows the module to operate the 16 MHz clock and to enable UART. DS50002489D-page 8 2016-2019 Microchip Technology Inc.
