The Patton Model 2026 & 2027 miniature serial to parallel converters represent a breakthrough in size and performance. Self-contained units, the Model 2026 & 2027 support auto-directional data conversion, serial data rates to 38.4 kbps, and both hardware and X-ON/ X-OFF handshaking. Yet they don?t require AC power or batteries for operation!

Incorporating microprocessor technology, the Model 2026 & 2027 automatically orient themselves for serial-to-parallel or parallel-to-serial data conversion. They also sense which connected device is DTE and which is DCE, and orient themselves accordingly. Other parameters?data rate, flow control method (hardware or X-ON/X-OFF), parity and word length?are set by externally accessible DIP switches. A single LED indicator monitors five modes including transmission status. Standard connectors on the Model 2026 and 2027 are shown in the ordering table below. Custom connectors are also available.

 

Data Rate: 300, 600,1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19,200, 38,400 bps selected by external DIP switch
