6 NET, Linux, and Mac OS Designed for Windows XP/2000 Certified Logo Drivers USB-IF Logo Compliant with TID 10240590 28-Pin SSOP package Introduction The PL-2303 operates as a Bridge between one USB port and one standard RS232 Serial port. The two large on-chip buffers accommodate data flow from two different buses. The USB bulk-type data is adopted for maximum data transfer. Automatic handshake is supported at the Serial port. With these, a much higher baud rate can be achieved compared to the legacy UART Controller . This device is also compliant with USB power management and remote wakeup scheme.

7 Only minimum power is consumed from the host during Suspend. By integrating all the function in a SSOP-28 package, this chip is suitable for cable embedding. Users just simply hook the cable into PC or hub s USB port, and then they can connect to any RS-232 devices.

9 The RS-232 output signals (Pin 1 ~ Pin 3) are designed for 5V, or 3V operation. VDD_232 should be connected to the same power level of the RS- 232 interface . (The RS-232 input signals are always 5V~3V tolerant.) Note: This document version only provides 5V DC characteristic information.
