USB to Serial Module
Free Drivers and Application Examples. Now uses FT245B device
UMS1 is an USB->Serial interface module based on the FT245BM chip made by FTDI. It enables very easy connection of your application to the PC via the USB port, without needing any deep knowledge of the complicated USB protocol.
Module Features
UMS1 is manufactured as a DIP24 device (0.6" width) using the standard pin distance of 2.54 mm (0.1"). It can be put into standard or precision DIP socket or it can be directly soldered to your application PCB. It saves time and money in small scale production.
Drivers
The great advantage of this FTDI based USB solution is that the drivers are freely available on the Internet. The supported operating systems are Windows 98SE/ME/2K/XP, Mac and Linux. Software examples for Borland Delphi, C++ Builder and Microsoft Visual C++ and Visual Basic are available as well. There are two types of drivers - Virtual COM port (emulates the standard COM port, with accessibility via the standard COM functions) and direct drivers with functions such as FT_Open, FT_Close, FT_ResetDevice, FT_Write, FT_Read, FT_GetStatus, FT_SetBaudRate, FT_SetFlowControl, FT_SetDTR, FT_ClrDTR, ...
To obtain the drivers and get more information and application examples, Go to FTDI website
When starting USB experiments, it is useful to combine this UMS1 module with a UDS1 development kit
UMS2 modules include a serial EEPROM. These are 28-pin DIP packages

On the USB side of the UMS1 module there are 2 signals D+ and D-, on the opposite side there are the serial port signals (at TTL level) with full data flow control. UMS1 is capable of transfering data at speeds up to 920 kBaud in RS232 mode and up to 2000 kBaud in the RS485 mode. UMS1 supports storing of the ID data (VID, PID, ID string) in an external EEPROM (93C46)

The USM1 module does not include a USB connector, so the designer has flexibility in PCB layout and mechanical design in comparison with modules that include a built-in USB connector. Also, A-type, B-type connector or even a cable connection can be used.
