Saelig Debuts Universal USB Controller with 50 I/O pins

Pittsford, NY, USA:   Saelig Company, Inc. (Saelig) (www.saelig.com) has introduced IO-Warrior56 -  a universal USB Controller that allows easy access to input or output functions via a USB bus.  Featuring 50 generic I/O lines, IO-Warrior56 is also an I2C/SPI master, allowing interface with a wide range of available ICs.

IO-Warrior56 offers a simple access to the USB since it has been designed as a generic HID device - the protocol is all in the IO-Warrior56 chip.  Only a few simple lines of code are needed to access the I/O pins. If you need to connect simple devices to a computer, like relays, switches, keypad, or a small display, IO-Warrior56 is a simple solution.  Working with USB used to mean that you had to develop specific code for a USB-enabled microcontroller, developing a unique driver with lots of documentation, using expensive development systems. Now driving LCDs, LEDs, or keypads from USB is easy!  IO-Warrior56 also supports a range of industrial standard interfaces such as I2C and SPI to simplify interfacing to chips, modules, or displays.

Features:

• Full Speed USB2.0-compliant interface (12MBit/sec)
• 50 general purpose I/O Pins, typ. 1000Hz rate (input or output)
• I2C master function, 50, 100, or 400kHz
• SPI master interface, up to 12MBit/sec, throughput up to 62Kbytes/sec
• Controls various display modules, including most graphic modules
• Drives up to 8x64 LED matrix
• Drives 8x8 switch or button matrix
• Software support for Mac(10.2 and up), Linux (Kernel 2.6), and Windows (2K/XP/Vista/7)
• No USB knowledge needed
• Single +5V power supply (50mA operating, 25μA suspend)
• 0.1”-spaced 56-pin module.
• Extended temperature range: -40°C to +85°C
