MCP2200 USB 2.0 to UART Protocol Converter with GPIO

As of now the CH340g is the cheapest USB to TTL IC in the market with very easy to solder foot print it has solder pitch of 1.27mm and SOIC16 package.

The?CH340 IC?does exactly what you would expect them to do: a full-speed USB device that emulates a standard serial interface, with speeds from 50bps to 2Mpbs. The chip supports 5V and 3.3V, and all the weird modem lines are supported.

Now a days lots of Node MCU, Arduino Nano and USB to TTL Converter Modules have been using this IC.

Each part contains one driver and one receiver. The driver slew rates of the MAX485 is not limited, allowing them to transmit up to 2.5Mbps. All parts operate from a single 5V supply.The driver is short-circuit current limited and? protected against excessive power dissipation by thermal shutdown circuitry that places the driver outputs into a high-impedance state. The receiver input has a fail-safe feature that guarantees a logic-high output if the input is open circuit. The MAX485 is designed for half-duplex applications.

The MCP2510 provides immediate CAN support across the entire breadth of Microchip?s 100 PICmicro? microcontrollers, providing a seamless migration path and maximum design flexibility for CAN designs. The?MCP2510 CAN Controller?contains on-board features, such as interrupt capability, message masking and filtering, message prioritization, multi-purpose I/O pins, and multiple transmit/receive buffers which significantly offload the microcontroller overhead required to handle CAN message traffic. Applications for the MCP2510 include motor control, smoke detectors, CO detectors, sensors, meters, automotive electronics, climate control and instrument clusters.

The?MCP2551?is a high-speed?Controller Area Network?(CAN), fault-tolerant?device that serves as the interface between a?CAN?protocol controller?and the physical bus. The MCP2551?device provides differential transmit and receive?capability for the CAN protocol controller, and is fully?compatible with the ISO-11898 standard, including 24V?requirements. It will operate at speeds of up to 1 Mb/s.

Typically, each node in a CAN system must have a?device to convert the digital signals generated by a?CAN controller to signals suitable for transmission over?the bus cabling (differential output). It also provides a?buffer between the CAN controller and the high-voltage?spikes that can be generated on the CAN bus by?outside sources (EMI, ESD, electrical transients, etc.).
