MCP2200 integrated circuit
Now available from TME, the MCP2200 integrated circuit (IC) from Microchip is designed to be used as a converter between USB and UART communication protocols.
This chip makes it easier to implement USB protocol support into existing platforms, without needing to redesign them.
The MCP2200 IC co-operates with microcontrollers equipped in a UART interface.
Microchip also offers an evaluation board, the MCP2200EV-VCP, free libraries and a configuration tool for PCs running Windows.
The MCP2200EV-VCP evaluation board can also be treated as a ready-made, out-of-the-box system that reduces the time needed for introducing USB support into existing platforms, as it does not require in-depth knowledge about the product's specifications.
The MCP2200 IC is additionally equipped in 256B of EEPROM and in eight general-purpose input/output lines (GPIO) that can be freely configured by the user.
The converter is available in three types of cases.
Possible applications for the MCP2200 circuit include data loggers, microprocessor card readers and medical equipment, such as pressure measuring instruments, glucose meters and pulse meters.
