Technical Support On-Line Manuals MCB2100 User's Guide | Serial PortsThe MCB2100 board connects the two ASC0 on-chip serial UARTs to the MAX563 (IC2), which converts the logic signals to RS-232 voltage levels. The ASC0 UART may be used in bootstrap mode to download other utilities for debugging or downloading flash.
The serial ports (COM0 and COM1) are configured as a standard 3-wire interface. In addition to the standard 3-wire interface, the COM0 DB9 connector is wired to allow a board RESET via the DTR pin, and to enable In-System Programming (ISP) via the RTS pin as shown in the figure below.
Note
The COM1 DB9 connector uses the standard 3-wire interface and does not connect the DTR or RTS pins to any board component as shown in the figure below.
