Design Notes:

All I/O is 3.3V TTL.

All inputs are weakly pulled High (20k) and may be left floating during normal operation. When implemented, RTS will be weakly pulled Low.

Minimum Connections: VCC, VPA, GND, TXD, & RXD.

Signal direction is with respect to the transceiver.

Unused pins should be left disconnected.
