Schematic Design Recommendations
Note the match of signals.
If the UART does not match the logic voltage of the MCU, add a level shifting circuit outside of
the module. Three types of level shifting circuit is recommended based on the logic level quality.
If the low level at MCU_UART (V
IL
) is lower than 200mV, adopt recommended level shifting circuit 1.
