USB chip

Hello,

Who can help me with some information about the existing USB chips... There
are a lot of suppliers and kind of USB chips for HID, Audio, Video. The
project I am on now is creating a serial data logger. I use a spy
microcontroller board witch catches the RS232 data between 2 devices. The
board then has to send the data it receives through USB to the computer
(delphi software). I want to use my own protocol en just need a USB chip
that sends what I want to send. Could someone please give me some more
information about this?

Thanks!

Niek

You might want to check out the AT91SAM7S64 which has
2 x UARTs - need to listen to 2 channels
USB
Timers which can be used to measure baud rate.
A CPU which can process data and present it in a way that suits lets say
Hyperterminal
.

It this chip already available ? What is the price of the chip ?

Hi Ulf!
You're really with your own opinion here?? Often I see marketing lights in
your postings.

Well, I have had tons of problems actually getting access to a newsserver
inside Atmel.
I doubt that there is more than a few Atmel employees that even know there
are such things as news servers.
Thats what you get when your boss doesn't even have a computer... (Actually
he finally got one half a year ago)
Noone in Atmel tells me what to say here, but on the other hand, noone in
Atmel that knows I frequent
the place has objected.
If I like to talk about parts, it may be because I have participated in the
definition of many
of the micros Atmel is releasing, so blame it on maternal feelings...

In this case Niek wants to have a expand a Zilog part because it does not
fit his needs,
and the SAM7S64 really will solve his problem because it has the three UARTs
and the USB.
Occams Razor says a simpler solution is a better solution, IIRC.
This assumes it is OK to do some USB programming.
If he does not want to know anyting about USB, then the FTDI is probably a
better solution
but I assume that Niek will know this for himself.

Still my own opinion.

OK Ulf. I know whats your feeling because my last employer even doesn't know
what usenet is and why he should look on it for potential customers. It is
an electronics design company for CAD and customer-specific embedded systems
hardware development for industrial design. Even they have a website created
in june 2004 and never actuated until now (There is only one page on their
site ;-)
BTW: The most hits I get for my products are from Google and usenet groups
specific to my products.

I like to hear more from you in the future :-)

I got a lot of positive feedback from readers of the newsgroup
and I quite frequently meet strangers who know who I am, because they read
my comments.
This is kinda fun.

Got into a similar problem now at home.
Got my 10 Mbit Fibre/Ethernet connection installed in May
Have been trying to convince the people in the house to
get this for 5 years and quickly realized that the Internet
provider canned their news server 6 months earlier.

There are enough (free) newsserver out there. At least the server of the uni
Berlin is free to all (I'm using it because my cable i-net provider havn't a
newsserver).
