More information

The MAX220–MAX249 family of line drivers/receivers is intended for all EIA/TIA-232E and V.28/V.24 communications interfaces, particularly applications where ±12V is not available.

These parts are especially useful in battery-powered systems, since their low-power shutdown mode reduces power dissipation to less than 5µW. The MAX225, MAX233, MAX235, and MAX245/MAX246/MAX247 use no external components and are recommended for applications where printed circuit board space is critical.

How to use module on BPI-M3

![](uart.jpg)

![](uart 1.jpg)

  • Install the Minicom on BPI-M3
sudo apt-get install minicom 
  • Set the Minicom on BPI-M3
sudo minicom -s 

A- Serial Device : /dev/ttyS2

E - Bps/Par/Bits : 115200 8N1

F - Hardware Flow Control : No

![](uart 2.jpg)

![](uart 3.jpg)

  • Run the Minicom, then wait for the PC end to input text
sudo minicom 
  • Install the Minicom on your PC
sudo apt-get install minicom 
  • Set the Minicom on your PC
 sudo minicom -s 

Serial Device : /dev/ttyUSB0

Bps/Par/Bits : 115200 8N1

Hardware Flow Control : No

![](uart 4.jpg)

  • Input the text," Hello BPI-M3 ", after finishing the setting.
sudo minicom 
  • Check if there's the text showing on the terminal window on BPI-M3

Test bench

  • 1. Connect the module to the Banana Pi
  • 2. Open the corresponding port through Putty
  • 3. Power up the Banana Pi, if the terminal print the boot information the module is OK!
