UART Interface
UART interface is the serial data transmission interface mainly used for WIFI232
module. User can add RS-232 chipset on user board and convert the signal to RS-232
voltage to communicate with outside equipment or sensors. WIFI232 modules UART
interface include 4 general signals: TXD/RXXD/RTS/CTS. The hardware reference design
with RS-232 chipset as following:
Figure 15 UART Interface Reference Design
Note:
TXD pin is also the hardware configuration pin internal module. So this pin must
pull-down during module power up. WIFI232 modules provide internal pull-down
resister, user cannot add pull-up/pull-down resister on user board, which may cause
module cannot work.
3.5.4
Power Interface
WIFI232 module support single 3.3V power supply. The peak current shall about
350mA and normal WiFi working current shall about 200mA. The power saves (WiFi
OFF) mode will about 100mA
Decoupling at power pin suggested, at least one 100uF and one 10uF capacitor
required at user board and put near module power input pin will increase the reliability
and performance.
