Figure 44: UART interface application circuit with partial V.24 link (5-wire) in the DTE/DCE serial communication (1.8V DTE)
If a 3.0 V Application Processor (DTE) is used, then it is recommended to connect the 1.8 V UART interface
of the module (DCE) by means of appropriate unidirectional voltage translators using the module V_INT
output as 1.8 V supply for the voltage translators on the module side, as in Figure 45.
