USB to Serial Driver (USB2Serial)

Home USB Class Drivers USB2Serial (USB to Serial)

Incorporate USB Connectivity
in your Legacy Serial Applications!


Overview

Jungo offers a USB to Serial ("USB2Serial") Driver, which allows USB device manufacturers to support access to their USB devices via a standard serial interface.

The driver provides host-side support for creation of multiple serial COM ports and carrying out USB data transfers between the serial interface and the USB device.

Background

Throughout the history of computers, data transfers through the serial interface were extensively used to connect computers with peripherals such as mice, printers, keyboards, terminals, modems and others.

For the past few years, we are witnessing a trend where the serial interface is being replaced by the dominant USB interface due to the latter's user simplicity and well-defined protocols.

The trend is further reinforced by the OEMs' introduction of newly manufactured computers that do not include a serial port at all.

Jungo's USB2Serial Driver enables to continue and use legacy serial applications unmodified, while communicating with the peripherals via USB.
