ELM322
Pin Descriptions
VDD (pin 1)
Rx (pin 5)
This pin is the positive supply pin, and should
always be the most positive point in the circuit.
Internal circuitry connected to this pin is used to
provide power on reset of the microprocessor, so
an external reset signal is not required. Refer to
the Electrical Characteristics section for further
information.
The computer’s RS232 transmit signal can be
directly connected to this pin from the RS232
line as long as a current limiting resistor
(typically about 47KW) is installed in series.
(Internal protection diodes will pass the input
currents safely to the supply connections,
protecting the ELM322.) Internal signal inversion
and Schmitt trigger waveshaping provide the
necessary signal conditioning.
XT1 (pin 2) and XT2 (pin 3)
A 3.579545 MHz NTSC television colourburst
crystal is connected between these two pins.
Crystal loading capacitors (typically 27pF) will
also normally be connected between each of the
pins and the circuit common (Vss).
Tx (pin 6)
The RS232 data output pin. The signal level is
compatible with most interface ICs, and there is
sufficient current drive to allow interfacing using
only a single PNP transistor, if desired.
OBDIn (pin 4)
OBDOut (pin 7)
The OBD data is input to this pin, with a low logic
level representing the active state (and a high,
the passive). No Schmitt trigger input is
provided, so the OBD signal should be buffered
to minimize transition times for the internal
CMOS circuitry. The external level shifting
circuitry is usually sufficient to accomplish this -
refer to the Example Applications section for a
typical circuit.
This is the active low output signal which is used
to drive the OBD bus to its active (high) state.
Typically this is accomplished by switching a PNP
type transistor on - see the Example Applications
section for more details.
VSS (pin 8)
Circuit common is connected to this pin. This is
the most negative point in the circuit.
Ordering Information
