GPIO Electrical Specification:

The module has up to 32 GPIOs available. All GPIOs can be mapped to a module,
facilitating design and enabling changes after the hardware has been configured. Each
GPIO is configurable with the following features:

 Input/output direction
 Output drive strength
 Internal pull-up and pull-down resistors
 Wake-up from high or low level triggers on all pins
 Trigger interrupt on all pins
 All pins can be used by the PPI task/event system; the maximum number of

pins that can be interfaced through the PPI at the same time is limited by the
number of GPIOTE channels

 All pins can be individually configured to carry serial interface or quadrature

demodulator signals

HW debug and flash programming of Module :

The module support the two pin Serial Wire Debug (SWD) interface and offers
flexible and powerful mechanism for non-intrusive debugging of program code.
Breakpoints, single stepping, and instruction trace capture of code execution flow are
part of this support.

Pin Flash Program interface

SWDIO Debug and flash programming I/O

SWCLK Debug and flash programming I/O
