4.7 Interfaces
TC35 and TC35i interfaces are compatible. The following chapters shows a detailed
comparison values for each interface. For further information please consult the TC35i HW
manual
4.7.1 Serial Interface
Each device uses the same serial interface type with identical pin positions.
Compared to TC35 module that supports a fixed local character framing format between TA
and TE, the new TC35i device offers various character framing formats specified in the next
table. For further information please consult the AT command migration part of the document
or the TC35i at command specification.
The table below shows a comparison of values for the serial interface with both devices.
