Reference Design of Digilent Pmod RS232

This is a reference design of Digilent Pmod RS232 (134-6444) . The Digilent Pmod RS232 was converted into DesignSpark PCB format. Download link to the project files and the article of Digilent Pmod RS232 can be found at the end.

The Digilent Pmod RS232 (Revision B) converts between digital logic voltage levels to RS232 voltage levels. 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.

  • Standard RS232 DB9 connector
  • Optional RTS and CTS handshaking functions
