3.1 Interface to Host MCU 3.2 GPIO Pins (GPIO0-GPIO13)

The RN2483 module has a dedicated UART interface The module has 14 GPIO pins. These lines can be
to communicate with a host controller. Optional connected to switches, LEDs and relay outputs. The
handshake lines are supported in future firmware pins can be either logic inputs or outputs, and some
releases. The “RN2483 LoRa® Technology Module pins (see Table 1-1) have analog input capability that

3.4 RESET Pin
The RESET pin of the module is an active-low logic
input. An internal weak pull-up resistor is enabled when
the pin is configured as the MCLR input.

3.5 Power Pins

It is recommended to connect power pins (Pin 12 and
34) to a stable supply voltage with sufficient source
current. Table 2-3 shows the current consumption.
Additional filtering capacitors are not required but used
to ensure stable supply voltage in a noisy environment.

3.6 Internal Program Pins

PGC_INT (Pin 30) and PGD_INT (Pin 31) are internal
program pins used during manufacturing. For normal
operation, these pins can be left unconnected.
The normal firmware upgrade method is through the
internal bootloader of the module via the UART. The
method is documented in the “RN2483 LoRa®
Technology Module Command Reference User’s
Guide” (DS40001784).
However, for backup firmware update purposes the
user can place a 6-pin ICSP header on their host PCB
with PGC_INT (Pin 30), PGD_INT (Pin 31), RESET
(Pin 32), power and ground.
During High Voltage In-Circuit Serial Programming
mode, the RESET pin is driven with high-voltage (9V),
therefore protection may be necessary for sensitive
devices.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
• Microchip products meet the specifications contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.

• Microchip believes that its family of products is secure when used in the intended manner and under normal conditions.

• There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods being used in attempts to breach the code protection features of the Microchip
devices. We believe that these methods require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications
contained in Microchip's Data Sheets. Attempts to breach these code protection features, most likely, cannot be accomplished
without violating Microchip's intellectual property rights.

• Microchip is willing to work with any customer who is concerned about the integrity of its code.

• Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of its code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product is "unbreakable." Code protection is constantly evolving. We at Microchip are
committed to continuously improving the code protection features of our products. Attempts to break Microchip's code protection
feature may be a violation of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If such acts allow unauthorized access to your software or
other copyrighted work, you may have a right to sue for relief under that Act.
