USB to Serial Interface by MAX213

USB to serial interface is based on the powerful FT232 chip from FTDI. It enables very easy connection of the user’s application to the PC via the USB port, without necessity of any deep knowledge about the complicated USB problems. FT232 chip is capable to transfer data at speeds up to 1M Baud in RS232 mode and up to 3M Baud in the RS485 mode. Schematic contains the on-board serial EEPROM (93LC46) for storing the ID data (VID, PID, serial number and description strings).

USB to Serial Adapter RS-232
USB to Serial Adapter RS-232 Serial Port to USB The USB to Serial adapter (converter) lets you use a serial PDA, GPS, cell, etc. with a standard USB port. This adapter is the easiest way to add a serial port to your computer. Many PDAs, digital cameras, GPS units, barcode scanners, and other ...
TTL to RS232 Converter by MAX232
This small realization, based on one of the most common IC (MAX232) is designed to create a small and convenient TTL to RS232 and vice versa converter. All you need is 4 caps, one IC and 2 connectors. If you want to add a small regulator on the board (already foreseen on the PCB) you just need t ...
Basic USB-RS232 Communication by PIC Microcontroller
The quickest way to display something is probably sending the data to the computer to be displayed on the monitor. One of the ways to do this is to use the USART module on board the PIC Microcontroller by making use of the pins RC6 and RC7 which is also the TX and RX pins respectively when t ...
USB to RS232 Converter by IC MAX235
Why build my own USB to RS232 converter when there are adapters already available from many suppler? The Answer is simple: Neither the strand "USB to RS232 converter" actually worked *properly* with all the devices I tried. But, They did not seem to support ALL the RS232 lines. The USB to RS ...
Serial To Parallel Converter using MAX232
This converter may help if just the serial port on a personal computer is free, whereas the printer needs a parallel (Centronics) port. It converts a serial 2400 baud signal into a parallel signal. The TxD line, pin 3, CTS line, pin 8 and the DSR line, pin 6, of the serial port are used - se ...
