PIN SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
1
RE
Receiver-enable input. This active-low
pin enables the half-duplex receiver.
2 DI
Driver input. This pin carries the transmit
data from the Pmod system’s UART
transmitter to a connected receiver.
3 RO
Receiver output. This pin carries the
half-duplex receive data to the Pmod
system’s UART receiver.
4 DE
Driver-output-enable input. This active-
high pin enables the half-duplex
transmitter.
5 GND Ground
6 VCC Power supply
PIN SIGNAL DESCRIPTION
1 RS485-A Noninverting RS-485 signal

Detailed Description
UART Interface
The MAX14840PMB1 peripheral module can interface
to the host by plugging directly into a Pmod-compatible
port (configured for UART ) through connector J1.
Connector J1 provides connection of the module to the
Pmod host through an interface similar to the Pmod
UART Type 4 standard recommended by Digilent. The
transmit driver and receive pin assignment are the same
as the standard. However, the CTS and RTS signals
are replaced by half-duplex driver- and receiver-enable
signals. See Table 1.
Connector J2 provides the RS-485 positive and negative
signal pair. See Table 2.
