Figure 6: Reference Design for UART Interface Connection

When paired with Quectel's LTE modules (EC21 series and EC25 series), it may be their own CTS

connected to CTS and RTS connected to RTS. This depends on the input and output directions, so in

principle, when connected, the input corresponds to the output.

3.6.2. BT_EN

BT_EN is used to control the Bluetooth function of FC905A. Bluetooth function will be enabled when

BT_EN is at high level.

Table 12: Pin Definition of BT_EN

3.6.3. BT_WAKE_HOST and HOST_WAKE_BT

BT_WAKE_HOST and HOST_WAKE_BT are used to wake up Bluetooth function.
