Pin 9 and pin 10 of the N58 module can be used for the UART4 interface (pin 9 is used for UART4_TXD, pin 10 is used for UART4_RXD, and the interface level is 1.8 V). Pin 89 of the N58 module can be used for the ADC2 interface (ADC2 interface characteristics are the same as ADC1 interface characteristics ).
Chapter 5 Application Interfaces 5 Application Interfaces N58 provides the control, communications, peripheral, audio, display, and RF interfaces to meet the product functional requirements in different application scenarios. This chapter describes how to design each interface and provides reference designs and guidelines.
5.2.1 PWRKEY_N There are three startup control methods for the N58 module. You can choose to use a method based on a specific application scenario. If necessary, contact Neoway FAE for confirmation. The N58 module allows startup by the following controls: ...
Neoway_N58_AT_Command_Manual. 5.2.2 RESET_N The RESET_N pin is used to reset the N58 module. When the module is working properly, inputting a low-level pulse for more than 50 ms at the RESET_N pin can trigger the reset process of the module.
N58 Hardware User Guide Chapter 5 Application Interfaces The following figure shows the reset process of the N58 module. Figure 5-13 Reset process of the N58 module VBAT T>50ms RESET_N Active Inactive Active UART 5.2.3 SLEEP The SLEEP pin is the control pin of the sleep mode, and it needs to be used together with AT commands.
If a user wants to control the module's SLEEP pin to implement the wake-up function, the reference design of the N58 module sleep and wake-up control circuit is recommended, as shown in Figure 5- Entering the sleep mode/exiting from the sleep mode (AT+ENPWRSAVE=2 can be sent over the UART interface to enable the sleep and wake-up functions.)
Leave this pin floating if it is not used. N58 can implement program download, data communications, and debugging by using the USB interface. The module USB supports only the slave mode, and users can choose to use it according to their needs.
UART3_TXD Data sending The N58 module can provide three UART interfaces, and two of them support hardware flow control. The UART interfaces support 921600 bps at most. The level at the interfaces is 1.8 V. The following figure shows the reference design of UART connections.
USIM2_DET USIM2 detection N58 provides two USIM card interfaces and supports dual USIM single standby. USIM1 is used by default. Adaptive 1.8 V/3 V USIM cards are used. Figure 5-23 shows the reference design of USIM card (with the hot plug function) interfaces.
USIM card detected while low level means no USIM card detected. If the user USIM card does not use the hot plug function, the USIM_DET pin of the N58 module must be pulled up to 1.8 V by using a 47 kΩ resistor in series, and the software must disable the USIM hot plug detection function.
I2C clock pull-up resistor. The N58 module provides one I2C interface. The I2C interface supports only the master mode, the maximum rate of the interface is 3.4 Mbps, and the interface level is 1.8 V. Figure 5-27 shows the I2C reference design.
Internal built-in bias voltage. MIC_N MIC input negative N58 supports one differential MIC input, with internal built-in bias voltage. The following figure shows the reference design of differential MIC input. Figure 5-28 Reference design of differential MIC input MIC_ P...
N58 Module Schematic design guidelines: Connect the SPK output of the N58 module to the power amplifier with differential connections, and select a power amplifier that can support differential input for the audio power amplifier. Note that the over-current capability of L1 and L2 must meet the current requirements at the maximum power.

Otherwise, GNSS is cold started every time. VRTC is the backup power pin of N58 module RTC and can be connected to a coin battery or farad capacitor. It can provide short-term power supply to keep the RTC working after the VBAT is disconnected.
GPIO, with the interruption function used. Leave this pin floating if it is not GPIO_3 GPIO, with the interruption function used. N58 provides three GPIO interfaces, and all of these GPIO interfaces support the interruption function. 5.6.7 GNSS_LNA_EN Pin Name Pin No. Function Remarks GNSS_LNA_EN GNSS LNA enabling Leave this pin floating if it is not used.
