The module provides 1.8V UART interface. A level translator should be used if customers
’ application is
equipped with a 3.3V UART interface. A level translator TXS0108EPWR provided by
Texas Instruments
is
recommended. The following figure shows a reference design.

Another example with transistor translation circuit is shown as below. The circuit design of dotted line
section can refer to that of solid line section, in terms of both module input and output circuit designs, but
please pay attention to the direction of connection.
