ROBOT . HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual – UC00C 1.0 INTRODUCTION Serial communication is most popular interface between devices 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) or sometime is called RS232. However, since computer serial port used RS232 protocol and microcontroller used TTL UART, a level shifter is needed between this interface.
ROBOT . HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual – UC00C The UC00C offers low cost, easy to use USB to UART converter. It has been designed with capabilities and features of: ● Develop low cost USB to UART converter. ● Easy to use USB to UART converter, aiming development between computer and microcontroller, 3.3V or 5V logic. ● USB powered, no external source is required to use this converter ● 5V from USB port is available for user. ● Configurable for 3.3V/5V UART interface.
ROBOT . HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual – UC00C 2.0 SYSTEM OVERVIEW Cautions: “Vsel” and “5V” on UC00C is supply directly from USB of computer; it is advised not to use this power source to power application circuit or device. Wrong connection such as wrong polarity, wrong voltage, shorted might permanently damage computer. Created by Cytron Technologies Sdn. Bhd.

ROBOT . HEAD to TOE Product User’s Manual – UC00C VCC selectable Switch VCC at “F” is voltage option to determine the TTL level of UART interface pins. UC00C to microcontroller. User may choose either 3.3V or 5V. If 5V is chosen, all the interface pins which include TX, RX, DTR, CTS, RTS, DSR will be in 5V TTL logic. On the other hand, if VCC at “F” is 3V3, all interface pin will be in 3.3V TTL logic. Created by Cytron Technologies Sdn. Bhd.
