Does anyone have a schematic for *simple*
hardware only circuit using a
commonly available UART, like an 8251 or 8250, to do the serial to
parallel conversion? I am looking for a schematic which I can easily
modify to strap the UART to 300bps operation.
If you don't want programmable logic, an 8251 or 8250 isn't going to
be what you want. Try a TR1602 or TR1865 or any of the other
"hardwire" UARTS--set parity, data bits, etc. by connecting
appropriate pins to Vcc or GND; put the serial data in on one pin and
take the parallel data out on 8 pins. No programming needed.
The RCA CDP1854 or the Intersil (and others) IM6402 are great for this,
and shouldn't be difficult to find.
