The ADM00276 from Microchip is a MCP2200 isolated USB to UART demo board. The board features a MCP2200 USB to UART bridge with galvanic isolation and status LEDs. The UART connector has the standard PICkit serial pin-out. The MCP2200 USB to UART with isolation demo board is a USB to UART development and evaluation board for the MCP2200 device. This board is powered from the host's USB port. Two of the MCP2200 GPIO pins (GP6 and GP7) are connected to LEDs used to indicate the USB to UART traffic when the associated pins are configured as TxLED and RxLED pins respectively. The isolated side is powered externally with 3V to 5.5V. The board offers 3.75KV AC of electrical isolation for power and UART signals. Microchip Technology Inc. provides a software package to be used with this board that can be downloaded from Microchip's web site. This PC software is used to evaluate/demonstrate the MCP2200 as a Virtual Com Port (VCP) device. This software also allows custom device configurations.
