Overview

Universal Serial Bus (USB) port technology has emerged in

response to the proliferation of external peripheral devices

(keyboards, mice, scanners, digital cameras, removable drives,

etc.), that are increasingly being connected to the latest

generation of PCs. The USB behaves in a similar fashion to

conventional bus ports (i.e., serial, parallel, PS/2), but is much

faster, and since it does not require any IRQs, more devices can

be attached to the system, and the problem of IRQ conflict is

eliminated.

The UC-100KM PS/2-to-USB Keyboard and Mouse interface

converter provides the means for PS/2 type keyboards and mice

to connect to a PC, notebook, laptop, or handheld computing

device that supports the USB specification via the USB bus

instead of using conventional bus technology. An advantage of

this for notebooks, for example, is that now an external mouse and

keyboard can be connected up at the same time without causing

conflict.

The UC-100KM comes with two standard 6 pin mini DIN female

connectors for the PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse to plug into,

and has an attached 30 cm USB cable with a type A plug for

connection to the PC’s USB port, or to a USB hub.

Note: Since most computers only have one or two USB ports,

USB hubs are often used to provide additional ports so

that numerous USB peripheral devices can be connected

up at the same time.

For further convenience - especially to users of notebooks,

laptops, and handhelds - the UC-100KM Adapter derives its

operating power from the Universal Serial Bus itself, so no bulky

external power supply needs to be taken along. And because it

is a USB Specification compliant device, the UC-100KM

supports energy-saving suspend and resume operations.
