2.1 DB-9 Connector
The VK204-25 provides a DB-9 Connector to readily interface with serial devices which use the EIA232
standard signal levels of ±12V to ±12V. It is also possible to communicate at TTL levels of 0 to +5V by
setting the Protocol Select Jumpers to TTL. As an added feature it is also possible to apply power through
pin 9 of the DB-9 Connector in order to reduce cable clutter. However, in order to accomplish this you must
set the Power Through DB-9 Jumper.
Pin 2 Rx \ SCL (I 2 C clock)
Pin 3 Tx \ SDA (I 2 C data)
Pin 5 GND
Pin 9 PWR (Must solder Power Through DB-
9 Jumper. See table 1 on page 11 for
power requirements.)
