4.7. UART Interfaces
The voltage domain of UART interface for BC68 is different from that of M66. The following is the voltage
domain of the modules.
Table 5: UART Interface Voltage Domain
The following is a reference design of the UART interface when the application processor communicates
with M66 via UART interface. It is recommended to add a level match circuit between the module and the
DTE, because of the different power domain of their UART interface. For details, please refer to
