STMicroelectronics · RF Transceiver ICs · QFN-20-EP(4x4)

SPIRIT1QTR from STMicroelectronics, in a QFN-20-EP(4x4). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.

Pinout

Pin Name Type Function
1 GPIO_0 bidirectional Configurable general purpose I/O programmable for MCU clock output, FIFO status flags, wake-up input, battery level detector, TX-RX external switch control, antenna diversity control, or temperature sensor output; 0-VDD V operating range.
2 MISO output SPI data output pin for serial peripheral interface slave read operations; 0-3.9 V operating range.
3 MOSI input SPI data input pin for serial peripheral interface slave write operations; 0-3.9 V operating range.
4 SCLK input SPI clock input pin from master; 0-3.9 V operating range.
5 CSn input SPI chip select input pin, active low for slave selection; 0-3.9 V operating range.
6 XOUT output Crystal oscillator output connected to external 26 MHz crystal or left floating when using external clock on XIN; 0-1.4 V operating range.
7 XIN input Crystal oscillator input connected to external 26 MHz crystal or external clock source with DC coupling at 0.2 VDC nominal and minimum 400 mVpp AC amplitude; 0-1.4 V instantaneous maximum.
8 VBAT power_in Power supply input voltage with +1.8 V to +3.6 V operating range.
9 RXp input Differential RF input signal positive terminal for low-noise amplifier; 0-1.4 V operating range.
10 RXn input Differential RF input signal negative terminal for low-noise amplifier; 0-1.4 V operating range.
11 GND_PA power_in Ground pin for power amplifier that must be carefully decoupled from other ground pins; -0.3 to 3.9 V absolute maximum.
12 TX output RF output signal from transmitter to antenna via external matching network; 0-3.9 V operating range.
13 SMPS Ext2 power_in Regulated DC-DC voltage input to external switching mode power supply; 0-1.8 V operating range.
14 SMPS Ext1 power_out DC-DC output pin from internal switching mode power supply connected to external LC filter; 0-3.9 V operating range.
15 SDN input Shutdown input pin that must be 0 in all modes except shutdown; when SDN=1 the SPIRIT1 is shut down and register contents are lost, GPIO and SPI in HiZ; 0-VDD V operating range.
16 VBAT power_in Power supply input voltage with +1.8 V to +3.6 V operating range.
17 VREG power_out Regulated output voltage of 1.8 V for SPIRIT1 internal use only, requires 100 nF decoupling capacitor and cannot supply other devices; -0.3 to 1.4 V absolute maximum.
18 GPIO3 bidirectional Configurable general purpose I/O programmable for MCU clock output, FIFO status flags, wake-up input, battery level detector, TX-RX external switch control, antenna diversity control, or temperature sensor output; 0-VDD V operating range.
19 GPIO2 bidirectional Configurable general purpose I/O programmable for MCU clock output, FIFO status flags, wake-up input, battery level detector, TX-RX external switch control, antenna diversity control, or temperature sensor output; 0-VDD V operating range.
20 GPIO1 bidirectional Configurable general purpose I/O programmable for MCU clock output, FIFO status flags, wake-up input, battery level detector, TX-RX external switch control, antenna diversity control, or temperature sensor output; 0-VDD V operating range.
21 GND power_in Ground connection and exposed pad for heat dissipation and ground reference; -0.3 to 3.9 V absolute maximum.
