Re: USB to RS232 one chip solution

I've seen some parts FT232* and the like but not familiar with them.

What is the current state of the art chip solution for rs232 to usb
conversion?

I just have some simple 8 bit no parity 1200 baud I'd like to get into
USB.

Will I have to write any software for the chip or can I simply set the
chip by some pin manipulation?

Something simple/cheap/popular.

Thanks kindly for any help.


If you really need RS-232 hardware levels:

will give you some choices. To my knowledge, it has never been done in one IC.

However, as long as it is a micro or similar that you are supporting, then you don't need to do the double conversion to/from hardware RS-232, you skip it, and connect one of these direct to your micro:

Hope this helps
