2.2 PIOs
There are 17 PIOs, PIO0 to PIO16, available on the UBX-G7020. All the PIOs are supplied by VDD_IO, thus all the
voltage levels of the PIO pins are related to VDD_IO supply voltage. All the inputs have internal pull-up resistors
in normal operation. Thus PIOs can be left open if not used.
The PIOs functions comprise the communication interfaces, antenna supervision, some configuration, the time
pulse and interrupt signals.
Data line 0 to external SQI FLASH or reserved configuration pin
In case PIO5 is GND (no SQI flash used) it acts as a reserved configuration pin
Data line 1 to external SQI FLASH or configuration pin
In case PIO5 is GND (no SQI flash used) it acts as a configuration pin to enable DCDC
converter
Data line 2 to external SQI FLASH or configuration pin
In case PIO5 is GND (no SQI flash used) it acts as an oscillator configuration pin
Data line 3 to external SQI FLASH or configuration pin
In case PIO5 is GND (no SQI flash used) it acts as an oscillator configuration pin
Clock for external SQI FLASH or configuration pin
In case PIO5 is GND (no SQI flash used) it acts as an oscillator configuration pin
Chip select for external SQI FLASH or configuration enable pin
If low at startup (no SQI flash used) PIO0 to PIO4 become configuration pins
UART TX or SPI MISO
Depends on PIO10 (D_SEL) status
UART RX or SPI MOSI
Depends on PIO10 (D_SEL) status
DDC clock or SPI clock
Depends on PIO10 (D_SEL) status
DDC data or SPI chip select
Depends on PIO10 (D_SEL) status
Communication interface selection pin
Selects the communication interface available on PIO6 to PIO9
Time pulse 1 output, 1pps
If low at startup the receiver will start in Safe Boot Mode. Used in production for
setting the Low Level Configuration, programming the SQI flash and testing purposes.
