4.5. UART Interface
The module provides two UART interfaces: the main UART interface and the debug UART interface. The
following shows their features.
⚫
The main UART interface supports 4800 bps, 9600 bps, 19200 bps, 38400 bps, 57600 bps, 115200
bps, 230400 bps, 460800 bps, 921600 bps baud rates, and the baud rate is 115200 bps by default.
This interface is used for data transmission and AT command communication. Also, it supports RTS
and CTS hardware flow control.
⚫
The debug UART interface supports 115200 bps baud rate. It is used for the output of partial logs.
Table 17: Pin Definition of Main UART Interface
Table 18: Pin Definition of Debug UART Interface
The module provides a 1.8 V UART interface. A level translator should be used if the application is
equipped with a 3.3 V UART interface. A level translator TXS0108EPWR provided by
Texas Instruments
is recommended. The following figure shows a reference design.
