Extended-UART is a communication protocol that enables single-wire and bi-directional
communications among multiple units using a software and the isolation to the standard UART which is
the general-purpose communication.
With this product, monitoring of the operational status of the power supply and changing of various set
values are enabled by the Extended-UART.
In addition, the non-volatilization memory in AME can maintain various set values and information
even if input voltage is shut off.
The communication system consists of a master and slaves. One master like a UART module can
connect to up to four slaves which is AME units.
Communications partner is specified by the "address" set for each slave.
Tables 2.1 and 2.2 show names and functions of pins related to the Extended-UART in this product.

2.3.2 Recommended value of pull-up voltage and resistor
A pull-up resistor is required on the communication line.
Table 2.3 shows recommended values of pull-up voltage and resistor.
Check the threshold voltage of the UART module to be used.

The voltage of high level depends on the number of connected units because of the internal
impedance of INFO terminal.
Figure 2.4 Method of address setting
The address can be from "1" to "7". (It cannot be set to "0".)
The address can be set by connection conditions (short/open) of address setting pins(ADDR0,
ADDR1, ADDR2) and the signal ground pin(SGND).

4.1 Overview
: The transmission time should be 250 msec or shorter.
Processing time
: Maximum 150 msec
: Maximum 25 msec
4.2 Communication frames and packets
The communication operation in the Extended-UART starts when the master transmits a
command packet to a slave, and ends when the corresponding slave (AME) transmits a reply
packet to the master.
Figure 4.1 Overview of communication operation
Command-packet
transmission time
If the transmission time exceeds 250 msec, the slave fails
with a timeout error and becomes the waiting mode to receive a packet.
Reply-packet
transmission time
If the address contained in the received command packet matches its own address, the slave sends
a reply-packet, but if it does not match, it will not send anything.

Data bits (8bits)
Figure 4.2 Structure of communication frame
Extended-UART is half-duplex communication, do not transmit command packets during reply
packet transmission.
Both the command packet and the reply packet are composed of five frames.
Each communication frame has a total of 11 bits, consisting of a start bit, data bits (8 bits), a
parity bit, and a stop bit. (See Figure 4.2.)
