 I need to connect 4 UART devices to the nrf52480 
 1 needs to be with CTS and RTS, the other 3 just rx, tx , gnd 
 
 can that be done ?</description><dc:language>en-US</dc:language><generator>Telligent Community 13</generator><lastBuildDate>Thu, 08 Aug 2019 00:00:32 GMT</lastBuildDate><atom:link rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/f/nordic-q-a/50760/nrf52480-4-uart" /><item><title>RE: nrf52480 4 uart</title><link>https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/thread/202933?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 08 Aug 2019 00:00:32 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">137ad170-7792-4731-bb38-c0d22fbe4515:a7613c6d-a997-4081-bb33-660bf12d7417</guid><dc:creator>RK</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;No not really. The 52840 only has 2 UART peripherals. You can try bitbanging but that never works properly with the softdevice. If you only need to use one device at a time you could keep switching the pin selection in the UARTs around in software but that doesn&amp;#39;t help you at all if you need to access all the devices constantly. Or you could use an external device which provides 4 UARTs on a SPI interface, MaxLinear makes them for instance, cost about $10&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
