Technical Support On-Line Manuals MCB2140 User's Guide | Serial PortsThe MCB2140 board connects the ASC0 on-chip serial UART 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.
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.
