USB to Multi-Protocol Serial Adapter: RS-232 / TTL UART / RS-485
No matter what serial-esque protocol you need to interface with, this USB to Multi-Protocol Serial adapter will be able to get this-connected-to-that. It supports RS232 serial, TTL UART serial, RS485 and RS422.
Pinout
- 5V
USB-derived 5 V supply exposed on the TTL side; product page states the adapter provides 5V power for small projects.
Type · powerVoltage · 5V from USB, limited current for small projects - 3.3V
3.3 V supply exposed on the TTL side; product page states the adapter provides 3V power with matching ground.
Type · powerVoltage · 3.3V supply output - GND
Ground reference, exposed with the TTL/RS232 terminal groups in the product diagram.
Type · groundVoltage · 0V reference - TTL TXD
5 V logic-level UART transmit from the USB serial adapter; product page states the UART side exposes RX/TX and 5V/3V/GND.
Type · signalVoltage · 5V logic level - TTL RXD
5 V logic-level UART receive into the USB serial adapter; product page states the UART side exposes RX/TX and 5V/3V/GND.
