UCON-UART

The INEX UCON-UART board is a small development tool based on the FT232RL USB to Serial UART interface chip. INEX created this tool in order to provide microcontroller developers to have easy access to a PC�s USB port using the FTDI virtual device drivers. This tool is also a reference design for customer-based applications using the FTDI chip in-circuit.

Features :

• Based-on FT232RL USB to Serial TTL-level UART converter chip

• Single chip USB to asynchronous serial data transfer interface.

• Entire USB protocol handled on the chip - No USB-specific firmware programming required.

• UART interface support for 7 or 8 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits and all parity.

• Fully assisted hardware or X-On / X-Off software handshaking.

• Data transfer rates from 300 baud to 3 Megabaud (RS422 / RS485 and at TTL levels) and 300 baud to 1 Megabaud (RS232).

• 256 byte receive buffer and 128 byte transmit buffer utilising buffer smoothing technology to allow for high data throughput.

• Full UART pin configuration includes TxD, RxD, DTR, DSR, RTS, CTS, DCD and RI

• Get power from USB bus and supply power to external not over 100mA

• Jumper to select the logic level between +3.3V and +5V

• Interface with any microcontroller to communication iwth computer via USB port.

• Support the Virtual COM port. Programmer can create the popular visual programming tools such as Visual BASIC, Visual C or Borland Delphi.
