1. INTRODUCTION
Serial communication is most popular interface between device and this applies to
microcontroller and computer. UART is one of those serial interfaces. Classically, most serial
interface from microcontroller to computer is done through serial port (DB9). However, since
computer serial port used RS232 protocol and microcontroller used TTL UART, a level
shifter is needed between these interfaces. Recently, serial port of computer have been phase
out, it have been replaced with USB. Of course most developer chooses USB to serial
converter to obtain virtual serial port. The level shifter is still necessary for UART interface.
Thus, Cytron decided to develop a USB to UART converter which offers USB plug and play,
direct interface with microcontroller and it provide low current 5V supply from USB port.
