The Atlas Scientific™ 8:1 Serial Port Expander has been designed to help the embedded systems engineer easily add an expanded number of UART serial ports to a microcontroller that does not have enough ports for its intended application. The microcontrollers UART is connected to the port expander and the serial signal is then routed to one of the new ports. Controlling what port the signal is routed to is done through a simple 3 pin binary switch.
