OBD to RS232 Interpreter
Description
The ELM327L is a low voltage version of our
popular ELM327 integrated circuit. It supports all of
the features of our current ELM327 IC, and only
differs physically in how pin 6 is used.
The following pages discuss the ELM327L in
detail, how to use it and how to configure it, as well
as providing some background information on the
protocols that are supported. There are also
schematic diagrams and tips to help you to interface
to microprocessors, construct a basic scan tool, and
to use the low power mode. Because of the similarity
with the ELM327, much of this data sheet has been
copied from the ELM327 data sheet.
Throughout this document, we will use the term
‘ELM327’ to refer to either the ELM327 or the
ELM327L. If there is something different between
the two, we will be specific as to which it applies to.
