Interfaces
Module interface Surface mount device with solderable connection pads (SMT application
interface). Land grid array (LGA) technology ensures high solder joint reli-
ability and allows the use of an optional module mounting socket.
For more information on how to integrate SMT modules see also [4].This
application note comprises chapters on module mounting and application
layout issues as well as on additional SMT application development equip-
ment.
USB USB 2.0 High Speed (480Mbit/s) device interface. Full Speed (12Mbit/s)
compliant.
2 serial interfaces ASC0 (in parts shared with GPIO lines):
• 8-wire modem interface with status and control lines, unbalanced, asyn-
chronous
• Fixed baud rates: 300bps to 921,600bps
• Supports RTS0/CTS0 hardware flow control.
ASC1 (shared with GPIO lines):
• 4-wire, unbalanced asynchronous interface
• Fixed baud rates: 300bps to 921,600bps and 3Mbps
• Supports RTS1/CTS1 hardware flow control
Audio 1 digital interface (PCM), shared with GPIO lines
