Applications Note
Conversion of Tiny-2/Micropower-2
"Connected" signal to RS-232 Levels
Applicability: ONLY those Tiny-2/MicroPower-2 models
with TMR-1.1 or TMR-1.2 circuit boards
The following circuit may be affixed to the bottom of the
circuit board to cause the "connected" signal (P4, pin 1) to rest
at a negative voltage, and to swing well positive when a packet
connection exists.
If you desire to retain the TTL level connection signal of
P3, you must sever the trace to P4, pin 1 near where it attached
to the pin. Be careful NOT to sever the connection past the first
via (feedthrough hole).
Spread the transistor pins to to reach the following
locations:
1. The emitter to +5 volts. Reccommended location is
MAX-231 pin 13.
2. The base through a long wire to a 10k resistor to
U15, pin 3.
3. The collector to P4, pin 1 AND through a 10K
resistor to U15, pin 3.
Parts required: 2N3906, 2 x 10K resistor, 1/4 W 5% resistors, 5
inches light guage (#30 wirewrap) wire, several small peices of
heatshrink tubing or insulating tape.
