Mini-USB Cable These days, almost all of us carry laptops, and this advan- tage can be used to showcase parts to the customers Features offering solutions that can cater to their needs. To have 2 USB-to-I C/SPI Interface that convenience, we need to have a board that interfaces with our laptops to the signal chain electronics that are Small PCB Area present on many of the industrial, medical, and consumer Pmod-Compatible Form Factor applications. This adapter board serves this purpose of 2 being a bridge between your laptop and your I C/SPI- Applications enabled devices. Industrial Sensors The Maxim USB2PMB2 board requires custom soft- Process Control ware and can be ordered together as an evaluation Industrial Automation system (EV system). The Munich design integrates a low-power, 1.2A, PWM step-down DC-DC converter PLCs (MAX1556) a dual, high-speed, USB-to-multipurpose Medical UART/FIFO IC (FT2232HL), high-speed USB switches, and a 4K MICROWIRE -compatible serial EEPROM.
