PCB Interface
The XPort has a serial port compatible with data rates up to 920 kbps (in high-
performance mode).
The serial signals (pins 4–8) are 3.3V CMOS logic level, and 5V
tolerant. The serial interface pins include +3.3V, ground, and reset.
The serial
signals usually connect to an internal device, such as a UART.
For applications
requiring an external cable running with RS-232 or RS-422 4-wire and RS-485 2-wire
voltage levels, the XPort must interface to a serial transceiver chip.
