BOOSTXL-RS232 BoosterPack™ Hardware

1 Trademarks

BoosterPack, LaunchPad are trademarks of Texas Instruments.

All other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

2 Introduction

2.1 Overview

The RS232 BoosterPack provides the opportunity to communicate to and from a TI LaunchPad™ using

the RS232 serial protocol. This opens new capabilities for the microcontrollers to interface with industrial

equipment for debugging, for accessing memory directly for backup recovery, and for simplified data

transfer between systems with proprietary code.

The featured product is the TRS3122E, an ultra-low power, high-speed dual RS232 transceiver. It

supports data [RX, TX] channels as well as flow control [RTS, CTS] channels that can be easily assigned

to 1 of 10 general purpose input/output (GPIO) pins. These channels on the TRS3122E can be configured

to be either one set of data channels and one set of control channels for flow control or to be two sets of

data channels. However, this BoosterPack is configured for one set of data channels [RX, TX] and one set

of control channels [RTS, CTS]. With its unique doubler and tripler charge pump architecture, the

TRS3122E can operate at a VCC as low as 1.8 V while maintaining compatibility with 3.3-V and 5-V

supplies. This BoosterPack allows for operating voltages of 1.8 V or 3.3 V.

This device features a shutdown mode that reduces supply current as low as 0.5 µA. This can be done

manually or by setting the TRS3122E into its Auto-Powerdown Plus mode. See Section 4 for more

information on the modes of operation of the TRS3122E along with how to set up the BoosterPack for

these modes.

3.3 Block Diagram

Figure 5 details a block diagram of the BOOSTXL-RS232 BoosterPack. The 40-pin BoosterPack header

allows the BoosterPack to be easily interfaced with LaunchPads. A 3-pin header is available to change

VCC/VLbetween 3.3 V and 1.8 V. This allows the BoosterPack to communicate with LaunchPads either at

3.3-V or 1.8-V logic levels. See Section 3.5.4 for more details. The two 30-pin GPIO headers allow for the

selection of GPIO pins on the LaunchPad to be connected to the TRS3122E. See Section 3.5.1 for more

information. A 6-pin header is available to allow for the FORCEON, FORCEOFF, and INVALID pins on the

TRS3122E to be connected to LaunchPad GPIO pins for more control. See Section 3.5.2 and

Section 3.5.3 for more information.

3.4 DB9 Connector

The BoosterPack includes a female data circuit-terminating equipment (DCE) DB9 port. Female DCE

ports are designed to connect with the male data terminal equipment (DTE) port of the computer. The

labeling for Figure 6 is from the perspective of the computer with the DTE port. Therefore, RX1 is actually

an output from the BoosterPack to the connected device through the RS232 interface, while TX1 is an

input from the connected device to the BoosterPack through the RS232 interface. The same applies to the

RTS1 (input) and CTS1 (output) ports. The RX2, TX2, CTS2, and RTS2 ports are used to interface with

the microcontroller through 0-V to 3.3-V (or 1.8-V) TTL signals. See Table 1 for information on how the

DB9 connector is routed on the BOOSTXL-RS232 BoosterPack.

3.5 Header Descriptions

3.5.1 Using J5, J6 and J7, J8 GPIO Headers

The J5, J6 and J7, J8 10 × 3 headers are for assigning the TRS3122E UART Drivers or Receivers

(labeled as CTS2, RX2, RTS2, and TX2 on the BoosterPack) to various LaunchPad GPIOs. The default

jumper setup has TX2, RX2, RTS2, and CTS2 assigned to LaunchPad GPIO pins GP3, GP4, GP5, and

GP8, respectively. TI recommends tying TX2 and RX2 to GP3 and GP4, respectively, since GP3 and GP4

are typically the UART transmit and receive ports on TI LaunchPads, this is not required but should be

kept in mind. RTS2 and CTS2 can be connected to any desired GPIO pin.

Each pin of the middle column of the 10 × 3 headers correlates to a particular GPIO pin. The pin it is

connected to is labeled in between the J5, J6 and J7, J8 header groups, this is seen in Figure 7. The

columns on either side of the middle column are connected to their coinciding transceiver pins, which are

labeled at the bottom of each column, this is seen in Figure 7. For example, looking at header J5, J6 in

Figure 7, the right column coincides with RX2. Placing a jumper across the first pins of the middle column

and the right column would short GP3 from the LaunchPad to the DIN1 pin on the TRS3122E.

NOTE: See Section 5 for information on headers J1-4 and how they interface with the LaunchPad

ecosystem.

NOTE: See Figure 13 and Figure 14 for more clarification of how the headers are routed.

Figure 7. GPIO Headers

3.5.2 Utilizing FORCEON and FORCEOFF

The J9 3 × 2 header allows for the option to assign FORCEON and FORCEOFF to GP19 and GP18,

respectively. FORCEON can be connected to GP19 by placing a jumper across pins 1 and 2 on J9 and

FORCEOFF can be connected to GP18 by placing a jumper across pins 3 and 4 on J9, see Figure 8. This

allows for the control of the different functional modes of the TRS3122E. See Section 4 to learn more

about the different functional modes and how to control them using FORCEON and FORCEOFF.

NOTE: If FORCEON and FORCEOFF are not intended to be controlled, then remove the jumpers

discussed.

Figure 8. Header J9

3.5.3 Utilizing INVALID Signal

The J9 3 × 2 header also allows for the option to monitor the INVALID pin of the TRS3122E by linking it to

a GPIO pin on a LaunchPad. By placing a jumper across pins 5 and 6 on J9, see Figure 8, the INVALID

pin will be connected to GP14. The GPIO port on a LaunchPad can then be set to an input and used to

monitor the INVALID pin. See Section 4.4 to learn more about the INVALID pin.

NOTE: If the INVALID pin is not intended to be monitored, remove the jumper.

3.5.4 Assigning Desired Supply Voltage

The BOOSTXL-RS232 BoosterPack is populated with a linear regulator to drop the typical 3.3-V VCC on

most LaunchPads to 1.8 V. This allows for communication with LaunchPads that are capable of

communicating at 1.8-V logic levels. To switch between a 1.8-V and 3.3-V supply, use a jumper on J12 to

short the center VCC pin to the desired supply voltage, see Figure 9. A short between pin 1 and 2 results in

3.3-V VCC and a short between 2 and 3 results in 1.8-V VCC. Pin 1 on J12 is denoted with a white line

along one edge of the pin, as seen in Figure 9. While VLand VCC are independent on the TRS3122E

device itself, these two pins are tied together on the BoosterPack. This way VLcannot accidentally be set

higher than VCC. This option was added to display the ultra-low voltage capabilities of the TRS3122E.

NOTE: VCC and VLshould only be set to 1.8 V if the BOOSTXL-RS232 is intended to interface with a

LaunchPad that operates at 1.8-V logic levels. Otherwise TI recommends leaving the jumper

across pins 1 and 2 of J12.

3.6 LED Description

For this BoosterPack, there are two LEDs per RS232 line (RTS1, RX1, CTS1, TX1) and one power

indication LED, see Figure 10. The LEDs serve as a reference when connecting the BoosterPack to a

LaunchPad and up to a RS232 serial port. A red LED for an RS232 line indicates negative voltage or a

LOW signal, while a green LED indicates positive voltage or a HIGH signal. This information is also

denoted next to each LED; a '+' sign for the green LED and a '-' sign for the red LED. Upon powering the

BoosterPack, the power LED will turn on and the driver and receiver line LEDs may also be on, depending

on what the board is connected to.

Since RS232 TX and RX lines sit at a LOW voltage level until data is transmitted or received, the red LED

for TX1 and RX1 on the board will be on until data is transmitted or received. While transmitting or

receiving, the green LED will blink for the line in use. End of transmission is indicated with just a red LED.

The RTS1 green LED will be on when a request-to-send signal is raised and the CTS1 green LED will be

on when the clear-to-send signal is raised. Otherwise, the red LEDs will be on.
