Figure 8.1Application Example showing USB to UART Converter
The UART signals are at 3V3 level and may be used to drive directly into a FPGA or MCU with a 3V3
interface, or could be level shifted with an RS232, RS422 or RS485 transceiver. The TX_ACTIVE signal is
used mostly with RS485 transceivers to enable the Transmit line drivers.
The unused pins may be left unterminated.
