VTAP25 Change Notice - Pin assignment - PCN00003

Our latest hardware version is v1. Available from June 2025

 

Product(s) affected: VTAP25-MOD

Change: Core firmware from v2.4.0.0 onwards will alter the function of pins 11, 19 and 20 of a VTAP25‑MOD. Other functionality and features are unchanged.

Reason for change: Improvement to control of sleep-wake behaviour.

Impact:

  • The pin out will be updated as follows (changed pins highlighted):

    Pin no.

    Old pin name

    New pin name

    Type

    Function

    11

    NC

    RFU

    Input/Output

    Reserved for future use. Recommend connecting this pin to host GPIO, so that its functionality can be used when supporting firmware is released.

    19

    WAKE

    WAKE_IN

    Input

    Driven by the host processor to wake VTAP25 from deep sleep mode. Details with next firmware release.

    20

    GPIO (RFU)

    WAKE_OUT

    Output

    Driven high by VTAP25 when a tap payload or other event is available to be read. Can also be used to wake up the host processor.

  • If you were not using sleep-wake behaviour you will not notice a difference.

  • If you have already finalised your design using pin 19 as a WAKE output, this can be accommodated with a custom VTAP25 configuration option, please contact vtap-support@dotorigin.com for details.

How do I tell if I have a VTAP25 module with this new pin assignment?

  • All VTAP25 v1 modules supplied from June 2025 , when used with firmware version v2.4.0.0 onwards, will follow this new pin assignment.

As new firmware supporting these pins becomes available, details about their use will be found in VTAP25 Pin Description and Other settings or Data request commands.
