Description:

The microUSB (µUSB-MB5) is a USB to RS-232 bridge converter which is simple, cost effective, very small and easy to use. It uses a mini-B type USB connector to connect to your PC and is based on the CP2102 Bridge from Silicon Labs. It provides the user with multi baud rate serial data and access to flow control signals in a convenient 10 pin 0.1” pitch Dual-In-Line package. The µUSB-MB5 is ideal for prototype or production.

Typical Applications:

The microUSB (µUSB-MB5) makes an easy USB-Serial interface,so you can easily createUSB to RS-232 converters ,USB to RS-422/RS-485 converters ,upgrade legacy RS232 devices, make PDA and cellphone USB interface cables, barcode readers, POS terminals, etc.

In any application, make sure the TX and RX lines from the µUSB are crossed over to the attached peripheral. That is, the TX from the µUSB connects to the RX of the target and the RX from the µUSB connects to the TX of the target device.

Note: the TX and RX signal levels are between 0.0 Volts and 3.3 Volts.
