CYUSBS236 USB Serial (Dual Channel) Development Kit from Infineon Technologies

     Infineon Technologies' CYUSBS236 USB Serial Development Kit (DVK) is an easy-to-use kit that showcases the features of the Infineon CY7C65215 USB Serial Bridge Controller. The CYUSBS236 development kit is used to help evaluate the features of the CY7C65215 dual-channel USB serial bridge controller. The DVK provides two copper pads on the PCB to test the CAPSENSE™ feature, two pairs of EEPROMs to test the I²C and SPI interfaces, and two RS232 line drivers to test the UART interface.

     The USB Serial Bridge controller family is the latest addition to Infineon's full-speed USB controller family. The CY7C65215 is the industry's first controller to provide dual configurable serial channels for a UART/I²C/SPI interface with the industry's lowest standby power consumption (5 µA). The CY7C65215 is the first full-speed USB serial bridge controller to provide a dual-channel configurable serial interface (UART/I²C/SPI). The controller also features battery charge detection (BCD) logic and capacitive touch sensing, which can be implemented with a low suspend state current of 5 µA. The controller is packaged in a 5 mm x 5 mm, 32-pin QFN package to meet the size requirements of portable devices.

     The USB serial bridge controller family is ideal for portable medical device applications such as blood glucose meters, POS terminals, serial cables including USB to UART and RS232 cables, and many other applications requiring USB connectivity
