Detailed Pin Descriptions
Pin 1, Serial Output
This is the output pin for serial channel 1 and Debug.Print.  The voltage swing is approximately 0V to the
supply voltage (+5V if using the on-board regulator) and can supply a maximum of 25mA of current.  Note
that the voltage swing does not meet the specifications for the RS-232 standard but it will be properly
recognized by most modern serial interfaces.
This pin should be connected to pin 2 of a DB-9F serial connector.
Pin 2, Serial Input
This is the input pin for serial channel 1.  It will tolerate a voltage swing from –15V to +15V allowing it to
be connected to an RS-232 output from a serial device.
This pin should be connected to pin 3 of a DB-9F serial connector.
Pin 3, ATN
This input is used for signaling the ZX to enter the download mode.  If you don’t need to download, no
connection is required but you may wish to ground this pin to eliminate the possibility of spurious resets
caused by electrical noise.
