 I tried to find this in the documentation but could not. Regarding the external trigger to the PPK (TRIG IN pin). Does this require a high-to-low transition, a low-to-high transition, or a pulse? If it requires a pulse, what is the minimum pulse</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Fri, 07 Apr 2017 17:37:46 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/21154/ppk-external-trigger" /><item><title>RE: PPK external trigger</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/82779?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Fri, 07 Apr 2017 17:37:46 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:51f09adb-b9fd-4288-9044-d718e92a1502</guid><dc:creator>will</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Thanks!

&lt;p&gt;Version 1.1.0 needs a transition from low to high, and is pulled to GND when not held high externally.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Versions below 1.1.0 was missing this pull-down, and thus need the same transition, but also to be externally forced to low in between triggers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;With regards to timing, I don&amp;#39;t know for sure, but it shouldn&amp;#39;t cause any trouble. The GPIOTE module that reads this transition runs on a 16MHz clock. So it needs more than 62.5ns. But, we also have a pad capacitance of 3pF, which plays a role on how fast you can get up to the required voltage to accept it as a transition (which is minimum 0.7*VDD).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
