1. Introduction

This document describes the UART port of Quectel GSM module and how to use it in

customer’s application design. This document can help you quickly understand the UART

port of the module.

Note: AT command can be input through UART port only after module is powered

on and the Unsolicited Result Code “RDY” is output.

2. Connection

Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) communicates with the module through its main UART

port. The voltage level of UART port interface is 2.8 Volts. If the voltage level of DTE’s

UART pins doesn’t match with the module, level shifter circuit should be inserted. ,

The UART pins include TX data (TXD), RX data (RXD), Request To Send (RTS), Clear To

Send (CTS), Data Terminal Ready (DTR). Data Carrier Detect (DCD) and Ring Indicator

(RI). Not all UART pins are necessary in customer’s application. If the module is used as a

modem, all pins are needed. The modem control signal RI can be used to indicate to the

DTE that a call or Unsolicited Result Code (URC) is received. Hardware handshake using

the RTS and CTS signals and XON/XOFF software flow control are both supported.

3. Level Shifter

Normally, the voltage of VDD_EXT is 2.8V and the DC characteristics of UART port are

listed in Table 3.

NOTE: If the voltage level of UART pins in DTE and the module doesn’t match with each

other, level shifter circuit should be inserted.

3.1. Communicate with DTE

It is recommended to design the level shift circuit by choosing open drain output buffer

(e.g. NC7WZ07) or discrete transistor.

Note:VDD_EXT is supplied by the module(2.8V). VCC_MCU is the voltage for host

MCU UART interface.

It is suggested to design the level shifter by using RS-232 transceivers, e.g. SP3238E or

MAX3221.

If only the RXD and TXD pins need to be connected, MAX3221 could be chosen for the level

shifter.
