1 Overview The Serial2 Tower Board (TWR-SER2) is a peripheral Tower System Module designed to be used with a compatible MCU/MPU Tower Card. The TWR-SER2 provides additional interfaces that are common to feature rich MPU’s. The TWR-SER2 features the following: Industrial-grade Dual Ethernet PHY Transceiver w/ dual RJ-45 Ethernet Jacks, with integrated magnetics and LED’s...

3.1 Power Supply It is intended that the TWR-SER2 be powered from a source in an assembled Tower System via the 5.0V and 3.3V supplies on the TWR-ELEV. This includes the functional Tower Elevator USB power connector, a capable MCU/MPU controller module, or other Tower System module capable of providing power to the entire Tower System.
VBUS enable/over-current control to the MCU signals. 3.5 Serial Communications Interface The TWR-SER2 is capable of providing up to four additional SCI’s. The number of accessible SCI’s on the TWR-SER2 will depend on the capabilities and Tower Elevator signals connections of the MCU/MPU Module.
USB CDC. The driver required for the CDC device is located on the included CD and is also available on the TWR-SER2 webpage found at www.freescale.com/tower. If needed the UART0 transceiver signals can be isolated from the Tower Elevator using J7.
Remove to Isolate UARTx_CTS 3.6 CAN Bus The TWR-SER2 features a Controller Area Network interface using an NXP TJA1051T/3 CAN transceiver. The signals from the transceiver are connected to a 6-pin (2x3) header using the following CAN Bus Pin Out.
Remove to Isolate CAN_RX 3.7 Elevator Connections The TWR-SER2 features two expansion card-edge connectors that interface to Elevator boards in a Tower System: the Primary and Secondary Elevator connectors. Table 2 provides the pinout for the Primary and Secondary Elevator Connector. An “X” in the “Used” column indicated that there is a connection from the TWR-MEM to that pin on the Elevator connector.
