The RS232 serial port lines are usually connected to a DB9 connector with the
following layout:
8.3.
5V UART Level Translation
If the OEM application uses a microcontroller with a serial port (UART) that works at
a voltage different from 2.8
–
3V, then a circuitry has to be provided to adapt the
different levels of the two set of signals. As for the RS232 translation there are a
multitude of single chip translators. For example a possible translator circuit for a 5V
TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER can be:
