4.3 GPIO usage restrictions
4.3.1 GPIO located near the radio
Radio performance parameters, such as sensitivity, may be affected by high frequency digital I/O with large
sink/source current close to the Radio power supply and antenna pins.
Table 4: GPIO recommended usage for QFN48 package on page 17 and Table 5: GPIO recommended
usage for WLCSP package on page 17 identify some GPIO that have recommended usage guidelines to
maximize radio performance in an application.

4.3.2 NFC antenna pins
Two physical pins can be configured either as NFC antenna pins (factory default), or as GPIOs, as shown
below.
Table 6: GPIO pins used by NFC
NFC1 P0.09
NFC2 P0.10
When configured as NFC antenna pins, the GPIOs on those pins will automatically be set to DISABLE state
and a protection circuit will be enabled preventing the chip from being damaged in the presence of a strong
NFC field. The protection circuit will short the two pins together if voltage difference exceeds approximately 2
V.
