While the output levels do not comply with the RS-232 standard, almost all modernRS-232 level conversion devices are 3.3V/5V CMOS or TTL level-compatible. There-fore, it usually possible to drive modern external RS-232 devices directly without levelconversion if the length of the connection cable is <3m.AUX_GPIO4…7 Yes Yes bb. Yes, provided internal pullups to 5V are selected.Yes NoAUX_TXD Yes No Yes NoIOP_GPIO1…7 Yes No cc. These outputs can be made 5V CMOS-compatible using a 3.3kΩ pullup resistor to5V that is provided by the device being driven.Yes NoIOP_TXD Yes No c Yes NoCH_TXDMIC_TXDPRG_TXDYes No Yes NoCH_GPIO1MIC_GPIO1Yes No c Yes No
