Hi !

I'm about to build a system using LPC2138. It's going to be equipped
with RS232C and RS485 ports. As I need full RS232 implementation with
modem control lines, I will use UART1 for it, and UART0 for RS485 in
turn. 

Unfortunately I'd like to use serial ISP programming, which uses
UART0, and I don't like an idea of flashing through RS485.

After reviewing the manual I've got an idea of using UART0's TX/RX
with UART1's modem control lines for RS232, and UART1 TX/RX for RS485.
Modem control, and actual serial interface for UART1 seem quite
independent.

Any other ideas ?

Regards,
Przemyslaw

Hi Przemyslaw,

take a look at MAX3160E-Interface, I use it in my design with RS232 serial 
ISP and switch to RS485 afterwards.

Do you mean attaching this chip to UART0 for RS232 ISP and RS485 for normal operation,  leaving UART1 for full RS232 ? Here comes another diffculty - I will need optical isolation on RS485. But anyway this is a possible solution, thanks !

Still, does anybody know if UART1 modem control circuitry is in any way dependant on UART1 itself ?
It seems to be a separate hardware.

Hi,

I'd like to use the Max3160. I've been quoted AU$8.50 for the part. :-(

Instead I use an  ST232 @ AU$2.90 and a MAX3189 @ AU$2.28, plus a 3pin jumper 
to select the RX line between the 2.

It's not ideal, but the Max3160 is SO expensive.

Cheers,

Peter.
