SARA-R4 series - System integration manual
UBX-16029218 - R20 System description Page 39 of 128
C1-Public
the SARA-R4 series module acts as an I2C host which can communicate with I2C devices in
accordance with the I2C bus specifications [11].
The SDA and SCL pins have internal pull-up to V_INT, so there is no need of additional pull-up resistors
on the external application board.
1.10 Audio
☞ Audio is not supported by current product versions: I2S pins should not be driven from external.
SARA-R422S and SARA-R422M8S modules are designed to support Voice over LTE Cat M1 radio
bearer (VoLTE) and Circuit-Switched Fall-Back over 2G radio bearer (CSFB) audio services. The
modules accordingly include an I2S digital audio interface (I2S_WA, I2S_RXD, I2S_CLK, and I2S_TXD)
to transfer digital audio data to/from an external compatible audio device.
1.11 General Purpose Input/Output
SARA-R4 series modules include pins which can be configured as General Purpose Input/Output or to
provide custom functions via u-blox AT commands (for more details see the SARA-R4 series AT
commands manual [2], +UGPIOC, +UGPIOR, +UGPIOW AT commands), as summarized in Table 9.
