To illustrate this process and the respective consumption in each mode, the CAD process follows the sequence of events
outlined below:
Figure 14. Consumption Profile of the LoRa CAD Process
The receiver is then in full receiver mode for just over half of the activity detection, followed by a reduced consumption
processing phase where the consumption varies with the LoRa bandwidth as shown in the table below.
Table 16 LoRa CAD Consumption Figures
4.1.6.1. Digital IO Pin Mapping
Six of SX1272/73’s general purpose IO pins are available used in LoRa
TM
mode. Their mapping is shown below and
depends upon the configuration of registers RegDioMapping1 and RegDioMapping2.
