The latest chipset for Serial devices - PL2303GT The PL2303GT provides a convenient solution for connecting an RS-232 full-duplex asynchronous serial device to any Universal Serial Bus (USB) capable host. The PL2303GT 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. suitable for the latest Windows 10 & 11 Devices
The PL2303GT integrates a high baud rate RS-232 transceiver that meets the EIA/TIA-232F and CCITT V.28 communications interface specifications. The RS-232 transceiver is a 3-transmitters and 5-receivers device with a high-efficient charge pump circuit embedded. It provides the bipolar output to the transmitters, and makes the transmitters to deliver the RS-232 output voltage levels. Under normal operation, PL2303GT operates at very low power consumption with guaranteed data rate up to 1Mbps. USB to a serial RS-232 device (such as a PDA, Phone, or any other serial 9pin device)
Connect a USB equipped computer to a serial based peripheral
Commonly used to connect a serial null modem cable to a PC without a 9pin serial port (e.g. for updating satellite receivers).
Compatible with USBv1.1 or USBv2.0.
Can be configured to be any COM port (default usually COM4) using drop down menu within the setting within Device Manager (Control Panel/System/Hardware).
Allows connection of various serial devices via USB
