SERIAL↔PARALLEL CONVERTERS
2. Introduction
2.1 Description
The Serial↔Parallel Converters automatically convert RS-232 serial data to parallel data format and vice versa, in one direction at a time. Incorporating advanced microprocessor technology, they are able to automati- cally sense and select parallel and serial modes, as well as DCE/DTE modes. Requiring no AC power, these Converters support serial data rates to 38.4 kbps.
For easy configuration, the Converters feature a convenient set of external configuration switches. These accessible configuration switches allow you to control baud rate, parity, word length, and flow control. An easy-to-read LED indicator displays status and operating condition.
Housed in an ultra-miniature ABS plastic case, each Converter comes equipped with a DB25 female connector on the serial side and a DB25 male connector on the parallel side.
