lpc 210x Uart1 modem interface

Started by rohan patil April 28, 2005
hi
i m final year elect. engg student
in my project i m interfcing lg cdma phone with
lpc 2106 . this cdma phone has data cable which
contains rs 232 converter in it.
normal rs 232 drivers such as max 3232 gives inverted
outputs & modem interface pins of uart 1 are active
low so total system works perfectly
but i want to remove that rs 232 converter & i havent
provided inverter in hardware . what is the software
solution so that system will work perfectly?

An Engineer's Guide to the LPC2100 Series

If are you trying to connect directly from LPC UART pins to mobile phone's UART eliminating RS232 transceivers in both end, there need not be any software change. You have to open the phone cover and solder onto PCB. No hardware inverter is required. But do not connect LPC pins directly into phone RS232 jack.

If you can get behind the RS232 driver in phone then you will
be able to make a direct connection from the 2106 ports to the
corresponding micro ports of the phone (both should be 0 to 3.3 volts)

If you can't, then you cannot directly connect the 2106 ports to the
data lines from the cdma phone. The line will not only be inverted, but
also have voltages outside the acceptable range of the 2106 ports - typically +/- 6 V.

An easy solution is a transistor invertor on each of the 2106 lines.
Use a fet and resistor for the tx line, and a npn transistor and resistor for the rx line

You can also get a tiny dallas chip that will do all of this

Out of curiosity, why have you ruled out using a RS-232 level
convertor? It strikes me as a cleaner and easier solution unless you are
building 1000's.
