Figure 12: Reference circuit of level shift 
Note:  When it uses the  level shifter  IC, the pullupresistance
  on  TXD_3.3V
DCD_3.3V should not be less than 47KΩ.

Note: The default band rate is 115200bps. The triode conversion circuit is not suitable for high 
band rate more than 460800. When using UART2 for downloading software, the band rate is 
921600bps, please pay attention to the device’s speed support.
