BlueCore4-External
Figure 11.12: Universal Asynchronous Receiver
Four signals are used to implement the UART function, as shown in Figure 11.12. When
BlueCore4-External is connected to another digital device, UART_RX and UART_TX transfer
data between the two devices. The remaining two signals, UART_CTS and UART_RTS, can be
used to implement RS232 hardware flow control where both are active low indicators. All UART
connections are implemented using CMOS technology and have signalling levels of 0V and Vcc.

UART configuration parameters, such as Baud rate and packet format, are set using
BlueCore4-External software.

The UART interface is capable of resetting BlueCore4-External upon reception of a break
signal. A Break is identified by a continuous logic low (0V) on the UART_RX terminal, as shown
