DS1206N
Introduction
The DS1206N is a BASIC-programmable board designed primarily for serial-over-IP
and serial control applications. Being small enough to fit inside your product, the
board offers a rapid development alternative to using
, which require making
new host PCB.
The DS1206N features a multi-channel serial port. The board has a single serial port
connector and is priced as a single-port product, yet it packs four independent
serial channels. Have no use for those DSR and DTR lines? Turn them into RX and TX
of an additional serial channel. Don't want CTS and RTS either? That's one more
channel! In total, there are 15 different configurations to choose from.
The board is supplied in three versions offering various serial port and power options
(see below).
The DS1206N is fully supported by TIDE software and a dedicated DS1206 platform
that covers all hardware facilities of the board (see TIDE, TiOS, Tibbo BASIC, and
Tibbo C Manual). This product ships preloaded with a fully functional serial-over-IP
application. Written in Tibbo BASIC/C, the application is compatible with Tibbo
Device Server Toolkit software, comes with full source codes, and can be modified
by the user.
Available models
The board is supplied in three modifications.
The DS1206N-RS is, essentially, a
device without a housing. The board has
a proper RS232 port (RS232 transceiver IC and DB9M connector), as well as the
power regulator ("12V"-to-3.3V). There is also a power switch that controls "12V"
power output on pin 9 of the DB9M connector.
The DS1206N-TM is different from the "-RS" version in that it has a TTL serial port
and no power switch. The port is accessible through a 12-pin connector on the PCB.
The power regulator of the board can be used to supply 3.3V power to the attached
serial device as well.
