2. SYSTEM CONNECTOR INTERFACE

RTS and CTS are capable of transmitting at 1/10th of the data transmission speed for data rates up to 460kbit/s (byte-oriented flow control mechanism).

Note! When hardware flow control is not used in communications between the application and the module, RTS and CTS must to be connected to each other at the module.

Switching times for RTS and CTS

The table below shows the switching times.

Limit

 

 

Time from Low to High level

Time from High to Low level

Request to Send (RTS)

Used to condition the DCE for data transmission. The default level is high by internal pull up.

The application must pull RTS low to enable data transmission from the module. Similarly, the module asserts CTS low, indicating it is ready to receive data transmission from the host.

Application driving impedance

Clear To Send (CTS)

CTS is asserted by the DCE to indicate that the host (DTE) may transmit data. When CTS is high, the host (DTE) is not permitted to transmit data.

The table below shows the load characteristics for this signal.
