EDE300 Parallel/ Serial Transceiver IC

The EDE300 Parallel/ Serial Transceiver IC is a 5 volt, 18 pin package designed to conveniently convert 8-bit parallel data into serial format and vice-versa. The EDE300 is ideal for logging data to a PC, controlling hardware via the PC serial port, communicating 8-bit data via a serial connection, and expanding I/O capabilities on microcontrollers and Stamps. The EDE300 is BAUD-selectable, offering both 2400 and 9600 BAUD communication. PC connection requires the use of a voltage level shifter such as the MAX233. The EDE300 can be configured as either a halfduplex transmitter, a half-duplex receiver, or a half-duplex bi-directional transceiver.
