HTPDN Signal Omission
HTPDN signal can be omitted by using 1k ohm resistor. When you omit the HTPDN signal, Please mount 1k
ohm resistors to pull down the HTPDN signal at transmitter side, and unmount the 0ohm resistors shown in
Figure 12. When the HTPDN omission using, HTPDN output from receiver side is open connection.
