3. HP/LP: Combined High and Low power modes.
In this case, R13, R14, R12, and R15 are OFF, and U1 and U5 are ON.
The choice between both Tx paths can be done dynamically thanks to the two XS3A1T3157 DC switches (U1 and
U5) controlled by SW_CTRL (GPIO from the STM32WL series MCU):
•
The transmit high output power amplifier (PA HP) is supplied from the PA regulator (REG PA) up to 3.1 V.
For this, the REG PA must be supplied directly from VDDSMPS.
•
The transmit default output power amplifier (PA LP) can be supplied from the PA regulator (REG PA) up to
1.35 V. For this, the REG PA must be supplied from the regulated VFBSMPS supply at 1.55 V
In addition, PC5 and PC3 are I/Os inside the STM32WL5MOC module and are dedicated to the RF front-end
switch control.
