USB-COM232-PLUS2

The USB-COM232-PLUS2 module is a USB to dual channel RS232 communications module. The module is based on the FTDI FT2232H (USB 2.0 Hi-Speed device) and includes level shifters to support full RS232 level signalling. Power/TXD/RXD LEDs to provide a visual indication of data traffic through the module. The module uses a standard USB miniB device connector for connection to an upstream host or hub port. RS232-level signals, including modem handshake signals, are available on an industry-standard DE-9P connector. The maximum RS232-level data rate is 1Mbps. The USB-COM232-PLUS2 module requires USB device drivers, which are used to make the USB-COM232-PLUS2 appear as two Virtual COM Port (VCP). This allows existing serial communications software such as HyperTerminal to exchange data through the USB-COM232-PLUS2 to a legacy RS232 peripheral device.
