A – The gold plated test pads are used by our test equipments during the production. Customers don’t have to solder the test pads on their applications. \ UART Q – When I tests the CTS pin it appears to always be asserted however this does not agree with the data sheet. A – Please note that all the commands (AT&D, AT&S, AT&C, AT&K) refers to the RS232 behavior. RS232 behavior is inverted compared to the CMOS level of the module. The CTS pin of the module is always off (0V) and goes ON (2.8V) when the serial buffer is filled and the module wants to stop the data flow from the micro/PC. RTS/CTS works only in online mode (data connection active).
