Bridge controllers provide configurable serial channels

There are three devices in the range. The CY7C65211 and CY7C65215 feature single and dual configurable serial channels respectively, with each capable of uart, i²c, and spi communication. The CY7C65213, meanwhile, is a low power USB to uart bridge controller. All three devices are targeted at applications such as medical and industrial equipment, point of sales terminals and test and measurement equipment. Cypress provides a software configuration utility for Windows that enables customers to select from multiple serial interfaces and features to create customised designs. The utility also assists in modifying various parameters, such as vendor and product IDs, string descriptors and GPIO configurations, via the USB interface. USB-Serial integrates programmable memory used to store these configuration details.
