Level conversion is common in many electronic systems, but in the automotive field few products meet the need for bidirectional conversion between TTL and RS signals. ZD's own ZD Shifter SU series supports bidirectional level conversion for up to 8 TTL and 12 RS232 serial channels, connecting on-board TTL communication on vehicle controllers to a test PC.
Connect the device to a PC over USB to convert multiple TTL and RS levels while monitoring bidirectional data traffic.
Supports the TTL levels commonly used in the industry: 1.8 V / 2.5 V / 3.3 V / 5 V.
On-board LEDs show the operating state clearly.
Supports 5 V USB power on the desktop and direct 12 V power in vehicle applications.
Communication monitoring triggers automatic sleep and wake, avoiding battery drain.
Several port configurations are available, supporting bidirectional signal transfer between up to 8 TTL and 12 RS232 channels. A port detection tool makes it easy to check port mapping. Compatible with Windows and Linux.
Handles bidirectional signal transfer between up to 8 TTL and 4 RS232 channels, and can forward bidirectional traffic to the USB port. Connected to the Shifter over USB Type-C, the user's PC can view the live serial communication between the head unit and the data logger.
