Intel NUC BNUC11TNHI70002 Tiger Canyon serial port wiring diagram and 12v tolerance

[JosEil]

Hi All

do i understand correctly that the wiring between the serial port header (H) and the DB9 connector is straight.  like the diagram below.

serial port header (H) - DB9 connector

1  ----------------------  1

2  ----------------------  2

3  ----------------------  3

4  ----------------------  4

5  ----------------------  5

6  ----------------------  6

7  ----------------------  7

8  ----------------------  8

9  ----------------------  9

Are the Serialport inputs tolerant to +/-12v rs232 signal levels

The layout for a standard 9-pin serial port connector is as follows:

Per the TPS for the TN NUCs,

As you can see, it is definitely a straight-through connection from header to connector.

AFAIK, this is a TTL-level (+/-5V) serial port implementation, not a full RS232c (+/-12V) implementation. I base this premise on the fact that all previous implementations in the NUC series were TTL-level implementations. Unfortunately, AFAICS, the TPS does not properly detail the port's implementation. I have send an email to the design team for clarification. I will respond here once I have a response.

So I was correct; they described its requirements as "RS232 complaint, 5V drivers, +/-25V tolerant, support for 115.2Kb/s".

Hi Scott,

Thanks for the quick answer.
So serial outputs are at 5v and inputs will tollerate/survive +/-12v

With kind regards

Yes. The question becomes whether the other end will be tolerant of only receiving 5V. I have had mixed results myself when using these to try to communicate with older (ok, ancient) hardware.

yes thats also my concern, i asked for infomation about my RS232 device (Vantage pro weather station)
