Description
Description
The USB-to-UART Bridging feature of Microchip hubs provides system designers with expanded system control and potential BOM reductions. When using Microchip’s USB hubs, a separate USB-to-Universal-Asynchronous-Receiver-Transmitter (UART) device is no longer required and a downstream USB port is not lost as occurs when a standalone USB-to-UART device is implemented. This feature is available on the Microchip USB7202, USB7250, USB7251, and USB7252 hubs. Commands may be sent from the USB Host to the internal Hub Feature Controller (HFC) device in the Microchip hub to perform the following functions: Enable/Disable UART Interface Set UART Interface Baud Rate UART Write UART Read
