The Digilent Pmod RS232 converts between digital logic voltage levels to RS232 voltage levels using the Maxim Integrated MAX3232 transceiver. The RS232 module is configured as a data communications equipment (DCE) device. It connects to data terminal equipment (DTE) devices, such as the serial port on a PC, using a straight-through cable.

Note: There are two UART signal pin assignment conventions in use on Digilent products. This product uses the old signal assignment convention. Connecting a product using the old convention with one using the new convention requires the use of a UART Crossover Cable (not included). Click here for a more detailed explanation.

  • Maxim Integrated MAX3232 RS232 transceiver
  • Standard RS232 DB9 connector
  • Optional RTS and CTS handshaking functions
  • Small PCB size for flexible designs 1.0“ × 1.3” (2.5 cm × 3.3 cm)
  • 6-pin Pmod connector with UART interface
  • Follows Digilent Pmod Interface Specification Type 3
  • Example code available in resource center
  • Pmod RS232
  • Custom antistatic Pmod packaging

    Works as expected

    Table for the jumper location is typo'd on the datasheet - for 5 wire connections it should say "JP1 Pin 1 connected to JP2 Pin1 with a jumper and JP1 Pin 2 connected to JP2 Pin 2". It specifies this in the paragraph below the table.

    Pinout is incompatible with the myRIO Pmod Adapter

    Posted by Todd Cazallis on 19th Nov 2017

    Not much more to say. I haven't used the PmodRS232 yet because I'm waiting for cables to connect it to my myRIO adapter but I'm sure the module will work fine anyway.
