Table 17 Interface Pin RxD
2.2.17 Interface Pin TxD
The UART interface output pin TxD transmits the information to host electronic. The high output level
is derived from external supply voltage VIF.
In normal mode: LOW pulse at EIB bus
TxD3 = HIGH
TxD = LOW
In analog mode: LOW pulse at EIB bus
TxD3 = HIGH
TxD = HIGH

2.2.18 Switching Pin STxO
The switching pin STxO is an open drain output with an external pull-up resistance. It is driven to
provide a high output level during transmission. In all modes where the digital part is active an internal
signal generated by the digital part and used to control the switching of STxO. It switches from LOW to
HIGH before (typ. 500
µ
s) the first transmit signal. In all modes where the digital part is not active Table
19 Switching Pin STxO applies. The control for the switching of STx0 is derived from the send pulse
width limitation implemented within the analog part. The high output level is derived from an external
supply voltage.

1) When the digital part is not active the STxO L/H is triggered / retriggered by an active RxD signal.
2) In normal mode the Digital part controls the STxO transitions with regard to the RxD signal.
3) When the digital part is not active.
