USB TO RS485 / RS232 Converter

Full duplex and with galvanic insulation
USB TO RS485 / RS232 Converter
The converter described here requires only two chips and a handful of passive parts. The core of the circuit shown in Figure 1 consists of an FT232RL IC from FTDI. The IC includes everything needed to create an RS232 port on a PC that doesn’t have one. Having an RS232 port is a must for the control of legacy PC peripherals. Suitable drivers for the majority of today’s operating systems including Windows 7 may be found on the FTDI website.
