Overview

The CY7C65213-28PVXI is a highly integrated USB-to-UART bridge controller that simplifies the implementation of USB connectivity in legacy serial designs. It features an on-chip USB 2.0 Full-Speed transceiver, a voltage regulator, and a programmable UART interface that supports data rates up to 3 Mbps. The device is housed in a 28-SSOP package and operates over a wide voltage range of 1.71V to 5.5V.

Why Choose This Part

This controller eliminates the need for external crystals by integrating a 48-MHz oscillator and provides 5V-tolerant I/O pins for easier interfacing with diverse logic levels. Its dual 256-byte buffers for RX/TX and support for all standard flow control signals ensure reliable data throughput without losing packets during high-speed transfers.

Applications

Industrial Controller Interfacing
Connecting PLCs or motor controllers to PC-based monitoring software via high-speed UART.
USB-to-RS232/RS485 Dongles
Building compact conversion cables for legacy industrial communication protocols.
Embedded System Debugging
Integrating a permanent USB console port onto a PCB for field firmware updates and diagnostics.
Battery-Powered Handhelds
Utilizing the low 5uA sleep current for portable devices that require occasional PC syncing.
