Nordic do seem to have a strange way of arranging their datasheets.

everyone else groups the "hardware" specifications (electrical/mechanical/timing) together in one section - some even make it a separate document.

But Nordic, for some strange reason, like to sprinkle these details throughout the document.

GPIO electrical specs are in 6.4.4.1 on page 100:

https://www.nordicsemi.com/DocLib/Content/Product_Spec/nRF9160/latest/gpio?249#unique_749604422

The question about the maximum total load through the supply pins has been asked a few times about the nRF52 parts - Nordic don't seem to document this.

😞

Unfortunately not, the only things I found in the product spec is this tab here bellow, witch comes from "nRF9160_OPS_v0.7.1.pdf" document page 386

Do you have an additional doc witch will be more descriptive in that case could you please point it to me?

I'm looking for the triggering levels for the GPIO supposed to be something like this :

VIL [0V to 1.8V] and VIH [2V to VDD_GPIO]

and for the maximum current no such information. I can just guess that it is less than 600mA cause the PWR convector has this as a max ratting. Also I found that depending on the freq band the consumption will be from 300mA to 550mA but it doesn't give me the information about the maximum pick current.

Is that not in the Product Specification?
