1.7 Data Interfaces
1.7.1 Universal asynchronous serial interface (UART)
The NINA-W1 series module provides three Universal Asynchronous Serial Interface (UART) for data
communication. The following UART signals are available:
• Data lines (RXD as input, TXD as output)
• Hardware flow control lines (CTS as input, RTS as output)
• DSR and DTS are used to set and indicate the system modes
The UART can be used as 4-wire UART with hardware flow control and 2-wire UART with only TXD
and RXD.
If the UART is used in 2-wire mode, CTS should be connected to the GND on the NINA-W1 module.
The UART interface is also be used for firmware upgrade. See the Software section for more
information.
The u-blox connectivity software adds the DSR and DTR pins to the UART interface. These pins are
not used as originally intended, but to control the state of the NINA module. Depending on the
current configuration, the DSR can be used to:
• Enter command mode
• Disconnect and/or toggle connectable status
• Enable/disable the rest of the UART interface
• Enter/wake up from the sleep mode
The functionality of the DSR and DTR pins are configured by AT commands. See the u-blox Short
Range Modules AT commands manual [1]
for more information.
See NINA-W13 series Data Sheet [2], NINA-W10 series Data Sheet [3], and NINA-W15 series Data
Sheet [4] for characteristic information about the UART interface.
