USB-to-UART bridge in a 28-SSOP — what this part does and where it fits
The Cypress CY7C65213A-28PVXI is a single-chip USB 2.0 to UART bridge, handling the protocol translation between a USB host and a legacy UART peripheral. It integrates the USB transceiver, serial engine, and FIFO buffering so the host sees a virtual COM port while the target device communicates over standard TX/RX/RTS/CTS lines. Rated for -40°C to 85°C, the part fits industrial automation, outdoor telecom, and factory-floor serial gateways where the ambient temperature exceeds commercial limits. The 28-SSOP package (5.30 mm body width) is a common footprint for medium-density serial bridges; verify the land pattern against your existing SSOP-28 pad layout.
