UPort 1400/1600 Series User’s Manual Introduction
1-2
Overview
UPort 1400/1600 Series products are easy to use. Simply install the drivers, connect the UPort to
your computer, plug in your serial devices, and you’re ready to go. Programming is NOT required,
and you do not need to worry about IRQs, configuring a board, power requirements, or connection
schemes.
UPort 1400/1600 Series products are compliant with USB 1.0, 1.1, and 2.0 specifications, and
meet the 480 Mbps high-speed requirement. Using your computer’s USB ports to connect serial
devices reduces the total cost of ownership, investment in hardware, and long term management
and integration costs.
The UPort 1400/1600 Series supports both bus power and external power via an adapter. Bus
power is adapted for laptop or workstation connections that support 500 mA output for USB
devices. External power is adapted for those USB hubs that can only produce 100 mA of current.
