2.4 RS-232 Serial Communications
The 56F827EVM provides an RS-232 interface by the use of an RS-232 level converter,
(Maxim MAX3245EEAI, designated as U3). Refer to the RS-232 schematic diagram in
. The RS-232 level converter transitions the SCI UART’s +3.3V signal levels
to RS-232 compatible signal levels and connects to the host’s serial port via connector P3.
Flow control is not provided, but could be implemented using uncommitted GPIO signals.
The pinout of connector P3 is listed in
. The RS-232 level converter/transceiver
can be disabled by placing a jumper at JG2.
