U-UART - USB UltraBaud Data Transfer IC With RS232 / RS422 And CPU I/F Options

The FT8U232AM is a cost-effective single chip USB UART ( U-UART ) solution for transferring serial data over USB With data transfer rates of up to 920k baud ( RS232 ) and 2,000 k baud ( RS422 / RS485 ) , the FT8U232AM significantly raises the performance level above that above that of traditional ISA and PCI based UART solutions whilst offering true plug and play and easy interfacing through its USB Interface Its flexible architecture allows this IC to be used in many different application areas - USB modems, Legacy RS232 USB Converter cables, USB Interface cables for PDAs , Bar Code Scanners , RS422 data links and instrumentation in fact almost any equipment that previously used a slow RS232 link for Communication By Future Technology Devices International Ltd.
