MSP432E401Y: doubt on UART communication port

Part Number: MSP432E401Y

Consider uC is interfaced with inter-device for UART communication probably PMIC. If uC is not powered "On" and PMIC is on and Its sending Input for uC. does this effect uC UART ports...?

Statement:   4× UARTs (3× with hardware flow control)

what does it mean "hardware flow control"?

  • Hi,

    If uC is not powered "On" and PMIC is on and Its sending Input for uC. does this effect uC UART ports...?

    Please refer to the datasheet electrical characteristics for I/Os. You should avoid back-powering an unpowered MCU through I/O as much as possible or at least make sure limit the current going through the I/Os when the device is unpowered.

    Please refer to the TRM for flow control details.
