Product Summary

The PL-2303HX is a convenient solution for connecting an RS232-like full-duplex asynchronous serial device to any Universal Serial Bus (USB) capable host. PL-2303HX highly compatible drivers could simulate the traditional COM port on most operating systems allowing the existing applications based on COM port to easily migrate and be made USB ready.

Parametrics

PL-2303HX absolute maximum ratings: (1)Power Supply Voltage: -0.3 to 5.5 V; (2)Input Voltage of 3.3V I/O: -0.3 to VO_33 + 0.3 V; (3)Input Voltage of 3.3V I/O with 5V Tolerance I/O: -0.3 to VDD_5 + 0.3V; (4)Output Voltage of 3.3V I/O: -0.3 to VO_33 + 0.3 V; (5)Storage Temperature: -40 to 150℃.
