CHAPTER 2: OVERVIEW
2.1 INTRODUCTION
The USB to Serial Adapters are cables with a USB connector on one end and a serial connector on the other. They each use
a special FTDI chip to convert a USB interface to an RS-232/422/485 serial interface over a distance of five or six feet, depending
on the model.
The adapters support common Windows
Three models are available:
• IC1101A: USB to Serial Adapter USB A/M to RJ-45M, 6-ft.
• IC1102A: USB to Serial Adapter USB C/M to RJ-45M, 6-ft.
• IC1103A: USB to Serial Adapter USB C/M to DB9M, 5-ft.
2.2 FEATURES
Single FTDI chip USB to asynchronous serial data transfer interface
Entire USB protocol is handled on the chip. No USB specific firmware programming required
Fully integrated 1024 bit EEPROM storing device descriptors and CBUS I/O configuration
Fully integrated USB termination resistors
Data transfer rates from 300 baud to 3 Mbaud (RS-422, RS-485, RS-232) at TTL levels
128-byte receive buffer and 256-byte transmit buffer using buffer smoothing technology to allow for high data throughput
UART interface support for 7 or 8 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits and odd/even/mark/space/no parity
Supports bus powered, self-powered and high-power bus powered USB configurations
Low USB bandwidth consumption

, Mac®, Linux®, and Android® software drivers.
