Pulldown-Question - connecting Panasonic PIR sensor to 52840 DK

Hi,

i'm wiring a EKMB1303111K to the 52840 DK.

  • GND to GND
  • VIN to VDD
  • OUT TO P.012

I'm setting up the GPIO with

nrf_drv_gpiote_init();
nrf_gpio_cfg_input(12, NRF_GPIO_PIN_PULLDOWN);


but somehow the Input is always High:

nrf_gpio_pin_read(12)


Looking at the instructions from panasonic a pull-down should work. What am I doing wrong here? An extra pull-down resistor should not be necessary, right?


see Wiring Diagram->Digital Output first schema as reference:

btw: I read the sensor successfully with SAADC - but this seems a bit overhead for an 1/0 information-sensor...
