USB Plug and Play Serial Development Module

The USBMOD1 is a low-cost integrated module for transferring serial data over USB.
Based on the FTDI FT8U232 USB UART IC, the USBMOD1 is capable of transfer rates
of up to 920k baud (RS232) and 2000k baud (RS422 / RS485).

The USBMOD1 is ideal for rapid prototyping and development by offering a complete
plug and play solution.
