Table 16: Pin Definition of Debug UART Interface
1.8 V power domain. If unused,
keep them open.
Table 17: Pin Definition of Auxiliary UART Interface
1.8 V power domain. If unused,
keep them open.
The module provides 1.8 V UART interface. Use a level shifter if the application is equipped with a 3.3 V
UART interface. A level shifter TXS0108EPWR provided by Texas Instruments is recommended. The
following figure shows a reference design.
