:1)
An external pull-up is required on the LOWPOWER pin for proper functionality. The external pull-up is not shown
in the evaluation board schematics, but has been added on the evaluation board. 2) An external pull-up is required on any
GPIO pins that is used as an input. In the suspend mode, the internal pull-up resistor is disabled and the input will be
floating if there is no external pull-up resistor. The external pull-ups have not been added to the GPIOs used as inputs on
this evaluation board.

Remote wakeup and jumper
REV. 1.0.0
The SDA and SCL are used to specify whether Remote Wakeup and/or Bus Powered configurations are to be
supported. These pins are sampled at power-up. The following
