The UUSB-PA5 is a MicroUSB programming adaptor. This is an USB to Serial to TTL UART bridge converter which is simple, cost effective, very small and easy to use. It uses a mini-B type USB connector to connect your PC and is based on the FT232RQ USB to Serial Bridge IC from FTDI. It provides user with multi baud rate serial data up to 3Mbaud and access to additional signals such as flow control in a convenient 10 pin 2.54mm (0.1") pitch Dual-In-Line package. The main 5 pin interface is a standard 2.54mm (0.1") pitch female header designed to connect directly to majority of 4D Systems modules. The uUSB-PA5 is ideal for prototype or production. Rx and Tx signals are both 3.3V and 5V tolerant. The uUSB-PA5 was designed in 2012 to be the programming adaptor of choice going forward for new products.
