MaxLinear USB UARTs
MaxLinear USB UARTs provide a USB 2.0 data bus interface and are intended for peripheral or inter-system communication. The USB UARTs offer up to four UART ports in an ultra-compact package. The USB UARTs are designed for reliability in consumer and industrial environments.
The MaxLinear USB UARTs “Wide Mode” feature has built-in error checking, enabling software to check error and status bits concurrently with data. For applications where the USB interface may be disconnected and reconnected while a COM port is still open, the UARTs provide the XRUSB1 Windows driver, eliminating the need to close the COM port in the host application. The USB devices work with the standard software drivers in Windows, Linux, Android, and Mac OS X, making development simple.
