I need 1 USB to many RS232 Convertor? - =?ISO-8859-1?B?9m1lcmthcmFr/Of8aw==?= - 15:35 06-08-08

I've an embedded system with Linux running on an ARM9 MCU and i need
to design an interface card to communicate with cards like 7816 smart
cards. I can only use USB interface of the system and i can
communicate with cards via rs232 protocol. do you have any idea to
convert USB port of this sytem to many RS232 intarfaces without using
a MCU like unit. i thought about using a USB Hub IC, and many USB-
RS232 convertor ICs connected to its downstream ports. but this would
be so complicated. may be somebody can suggest a more intelligent
solution like a more useful IC or any other components.
I also can use EMIFA bus of the ARM9 but it's more difficult to use
for me.
thanks for your attention

Tons of USB to multiple RS-232 Ports.
I did a quick Google and this was the top hit:

thank but these are boxed soulutions. i have to do this on a part of
my own PCB design so i need IC like solutions.

A MCU would be the easiest & cheapest way to do it.
