8 Start-up 
configurations
L6460 start-up configuration is selected by setting in different states the GPIO[0], GPIO[3] 
and GPIO[4] pins. Each of these is a three state input pin and is able to distinguish among 
the following situations:
         
Note:
“Shorted” means: R
1KOhm; “Z” means: R
10KOhm, C

8.1 Operation 
modes 
When V
Supply
 voltage is applied to L6460, the internal regulator V3v3, used to supply the 
logic circuits inside the device, starts its functionality. When it reaches its final value, L6460 
enables the GPIO[0] pin state read circuitry, and, after a time TpinSample, it will sample the 
GPIO[0] state. If it is found to be in high impedance, L6460 does not consider GPIO[3] and 
GPIO[4] pins state and starts its “Basic device” mode sequence. If GPIO[0] is found to be 
connected to ground or to V3v3, L6460 checks the state of GPIO[3] and GPIO[4] pins to 
select its start-up configuration.
The possible configurations can be classified in four “Major” modes:
1.
Basic device.
2. Slave 
device.
3. Master 
device.
4. Single 
device.
Hereafter is reported the correspondence table between GPIO[X] state and L6460 
configurations.
