SMARC-iMX8M Computer on Module User’s Manual v.1.0
2.1.15. Asynchronous Serial Port (UARTs)
The
SMARC‐iMX8M
module supports four UARTs (
SER0:3
). UART
SER0
and
SER2
support flow control signals (
RTS#, CTS#
). UART
SER1
and
SER3
do not
support flow control (
TX, RX
only). When working with software,
SER3
is
used for
SMARC‐iMX8M
debugging console port.
The module asynchronous serial port signals have a
VDDIO
(
1.8V
) level
signal swing. If the asynchronous ports are to interface with RS232 level
devices, then a Carrier RS‐232 transceiver is required. The logic side of the
transceiver must be able to run at 1.8V levels. The selection of 1.8V
compatible transceivers is a bit limited, although more are appearing with
time. Two such devices are the Texas Instruments TRS3253E, and the Maxim
MAX13235E, illustrated in the figures below. The TI part is more cost
effective, but has a top speed of 1 Mbps. The MAX 13235E can operate at
maximum speeds over 3 Mbps. The transceivers invert the polarity of the
incoming and outgoing data and handshake lines.
The other alternative is to use a level‐shift IC from 1.8V to 3.3V when
designing carrier board and almost all transceivers available accept a 3.3V
signal level: example includes the Texas Instruments MAX3243. Note that
RS232 transceivers invert the signal; a logic ‘1’ is a negative voltage (‐3.0V to
‐15V) and a logic ‘0’ a positive voltage (3.0V to 15V) on the RS232 line.
