In embedded systems, UART/serial ports are mainly used to view debug messages, to flash the program or to configure the device via command/response protocol.

The Industrial Grade Isolated USB to UART could be useful in various use cases.

High Voltage AC / DC Circuits

Isolated USB to UART Converter is mainly helpful for companies/engineers involved in building power electronics products or dealing with high-voltage DC or AC signals on their boards and want to connect them to a Laptop or PC safely.

Connecting the board with HV AC or DC to a Laptop or PC USB port without isolation may damage the port or laptop. Non-isolated USB to UART converters also induce leakage currents in many situations and can significantly increase noise.

Low Power Embedded Designs which needs 2.5V/1.8V

If you are working on Low-Power Designs like battery-powered asset trackers, wearables, or any battery-powered device, where UART is at a lower voltage level, you will need a USB-to-UART converter that supports those voltage levels.

That’s why CAPUF Embedded’s Isolated USB to UART Converter will help as a voltage section(1.8/2.5/3.3/5.0V) is provided.

Medical Electronics / Noise Sensitive circuits

As safety/induced noise is a great concern in many designs, an isolated USB to UART converter provides the best solution to connect your Embedded Board or product safely with a Laptop or PC.

What is Unique about our Isolated USB to UART Converter?

1. The board is designed and manufactured in India.
2. A 4-channel DIP Switch is provided for an easy voltage level selection (1.8V/2.5V/3.3V/5.0V).
3. Not just RX and TX but RTS, CTS, DSR, and DTR are also provided.
4. The board can supply ~100mA of power. This power-sourcing capability helps make the setup easy when testing a board that doesn’t need much power.
5. It provides Galvanic Isolation. Both Power and IOs are Isolated.
