If it does not match the PWL of AP interface, it is recommended to add the PWL conversion circuit. Otherwise, it might cause

unstable com ports because the level is not matched or cause damage to the module because it is at high level for long time. The

connection of module UART port and standard RS-232-C interface can be through the chip like class 232. The design involves the

transformation of TTL level and EIA level. We recommend to use the chip of NLSX5014MUTAG. If using the 2-wire serial bus interface,

MAX3232 is recommended, and if using the 8-wire serial bus interface, SP3238 or MAX3238 is recommended. The connection mode

is as shown in Figure below.

Note:

UART1_RFR is equal to UART1_RTS.

If customer wants to connect a 3.3V application system, a level shifter should be used. The following figure shows the reference

design. The diode in this Figure is Schottky diode (forward voltage drop is 0.3V). If you select other diodes, please select one with

lower forward voltage drop to make sure UART_RXD is below the threshold when inputting low level.
