Figure 2-3. UART interface
The LS1043ARDB has two UART connectors; therefore, two UART ports are available
at a time. Two RS-232 transceivers (SP3232) available on the LS1043ARDB help in user
application development and provide convenient communication channels to both
terminal and host computers. The transceivers are connected to the dedicated UART
ports on the LS1043ARDB by 4 wires. They support RTS/CTS flow control.
The table below describes the LS1043ARDB RS-232 interface.
