BOOSTXL-RS232 RS-232 Transceiver BoosterPack

Texas Instruments BOOSTXL-RS232 RS-232 Transceiver BoosterPack enables quick RS-232 prototyping with TRS3122E, the industry’s first 1.8V inductor-less low power RS-232 transceiver. The board is equipped with a DB-9 connector and standard 40-pin LaunchPad headers. These together provide an easy method of connection to a LaunchPad and an external RS-232 serial port. The BoosterPack is equipped with headers that allow the driver inputs and receiver outputs of the TRS3122E to be assigned to various general purpose inputs/outputs of the connected LaunchPad. The BOOSTXL-RS232 is capable of ultra-low voltage levels, both power and logic, as well as a shutdown feature for power saving. In addition, the connection of the DB-9 port is monitored via the TRS3122E invalid pin.
