Introduction
1.1
Functional Description
The USB-COM422-PLUS2 is a USB to a dual interface RS422 level serial UART adaptor incorporating
FTDI’s FT2232H Hi-Speed USB2.0 (480Mb/s) to dual serial UART interface IC device. The FT2232H
handles all the USB signaling and protocols. The adaptor provides a fast, simple way to connect devices
with an RS422 interface to USB.
USB-COM422-PLUS2 is a USB to a dual-port RS422 adapter.
The integrated electronics of the USB-COM422-PLUS2 utilise the FTDI FT2232H and includes RS422 level
shifters plus TXD/RXD LEDs to provide a visual indication of data traffic through the module.
Figure 1.1 USB-COM422-Plus2
The module uses a standard USB-B device connector for connection to an upstream host or hub port.
RS422-level signals, including modem handshake signals, are available on an industry-standard DE-9P
connector. The maximum RS422-level data rate is 10Mbps.
The USB-COM422-Plus2 module requires USB device drivers, available free from
www.ftdichip.com,
which
are used to make the USB-COM422-Plus2 appear as a Virtual COM Port (VCP). This allows existing serial
communications software, such as HyperTerminal, to exchange data through the USB-COM422-Plus2 to a
legacy RS422 peripheral device.

USB B Client Connector
This connector provides the interface for connection to a USB Host or Hub port. The maximum cable
length is 5 meters, according to the USB 2.0 specification.
FTDI FT2232H
FT2232H Hi-Speed USB2.0 (480Mb/s) is a dual serial UART interface IC device. Operating system device
drivers are required in order to work with the one to provide the Virtual COM Port serial functionality.
Dual RS422 Level Shifter
The RS422 level shifter converts the signals provided by the FT2232H into the voltage levels required by
RS422 devices.
Dual DE-9P Connector (Male)
The DE-9P connector is configured in an industry standard (TIA/EIA-574) pin-out to provide connection to
RS422 peripherals through standard cables. See section 3.1.2
