Overview
Universal Serial Bus (USB) port technology has emerged in
response to the proliferation of external peripheral devices
(keyboards, mice, scanners, digital cameras, removable drives,
etc.), that are increasingly being connected to the latest
generation of PCs. The USB behaves in a similar fashion to
conventional bus ports (i.e., serial, parallel, PS/2), but is much
faster, and since it does not require any IRQs, more devices can
be attached to the system, and the problem of IRQ conflict is
eliminated.
The UC-100KM PS/2-to-USB Keyboard and Mouse interface
converter provides the means for PS/2 type keyboards and mice
to connect to a PC, notebook, laptop, or handheld computing
device that supports the USB specification via the USB bus
instead of using conventional bus technology. An advantage of
this for notebooks, for example, is that now an external mouse and
keyboard can be connected up at the same time without causing
conflict.
The UC-100KM comes with two standard 6 pin mini DIN female
connectors for the PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse to plug into,
and has an attached 30 cm USB cable with a type A plug for
connection to the PC’s USB port, or to a USB hub.
Note: Since most computers only have one or two USB ports,
USB hubs are often used to provide additional ports so
that numerous USB peripheral devices can be connected
up at the same time.
For further convenience - especially to users of notebooks,
laptops, and handhelds - the UC-100KM Adapter derives its
operating power from the Universal Serial Bus itself, so no bulky
external power supply needs to be taken along. And because it
is a USB Specification compliant device, the UC-100KM
supports energy-saving suspend and resume operations.
