●The CHIPI-X10 is a USB to RS232 level full handshake UART cable with FT231X USB to full handshake UART IC and FT3243S RS232 transceiver IC. It utilises the minimum number of components required for a basic USB to RS232 converter designed using the FT231XS chip combined with an RS232 level converter and a few capacitors. Chipi-X10 is CE and FCC approved and is one of the simplest USB to RS232 solutions around. Using a standard DB9 connector and powered from the USB port, the Chipi-X10 converter can be used with VCP drivers to provide a COM port on a PC which is capable of communication rates with RS232 devices, from 300Baud up to 250KBaud. This Chipi - X10 is supplied with a sculpted matt white plastic enclosure fitted, which covers the electronics inside. A male DB9 (aka DE9) connector provides the connectivity for RS232 communications and a USB-A plug tethered by a 10cm cable to the PCB provides connectivity for USB communications.
● VCP and D2XX drivers eliminate the requirement for USB driver development in most cases
● UART interface support for 7 or 8 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits and odd/even/mark/ space/no parity
● Fully assisted hardware or X on/X off software handshaking
● 512B receive buffer and 512byte transmit buffer utilising buffer smoothing technology
● Adjustable receive buffer timeout
● Low operating and USB suspend current
● Low USB bandwidth consumption
● USB 2.0 full speed compatible
● Latch up free
● Integrated MTP-ROM for storing USB VID, PID, serial number and product description strings
●Use of this device in life support and/or safety applications is entirely at the user"s risk.
