Table 12-8. UART Signal Connections
Ball Name Type Termination Description
UART[2:0]_TXD O UART Transmit: Connect to peripheral RXD pin of device
UART[2:0]_RXD I UART Receive: Connect to peripheral TXD pin of device
UART[1:0]_CTS* I UART Clear to Send: Connect to peripheral RTS pin of device

Usage
Direction Pin Type
143 CAN_RX GP17_CAN0_DOUT CAN Receive
CAN PHY
Input CMOS – 3.3V
145 CAN_TX GP18_CAN0_DIN CAN Transmit Output CMOS – 3.3V
Notes:
1. In the Direction column, Output is from Jetson Orin NX. Input is to Jetson Orin NX. Bidir is for Bidirectional signals.
2. The direction indicated for the CAN signals are associated with that usage. The pins support GPIO functionality, so support both
input and output operation (bidirectional).
