Notes:
1. This integrated circuit is produced with a Microchip Technology Inc.’s PIC16C505 as the core embedded
microcontroller. For further device specifications, and possibly clarification of those given, please refer to the
appropriate Microchip documentation (available at http://www.microchip.com/).
2. This spec must be met in order to ensure that a correct power on reset occurs. It is quite easily achieved
using most common types of supplies, but may be violated if one uses a slowly varying supply voltage, as
may be obtained through direct connection to solar cells, or some charge pump circuits.
3. Device only. Does not include any load currents.
4. This specification represents the current flowing through the protection diodes when applying large voltages
to the RS232Rx input (pin 5) through a current limiting resistance. Currents quoted are the maximum that
should be allowed to flow continuously.
5. Nominal data transfer rate when the recommended 3.58 MHz crystal is used as the frequency reference.
Data is transferred to and from the ELM323 with 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit (8 N 1).
