USB2PS2

PS/2 to USB Keyboard/ Mouse Adapter

USB Adapter

Overview

Universal Serial Bus (USB) port technology has emerged in response to the growth in

popularity of external peripheral devices (keyboards, mice, scanners, digital cameras,

removable drives, etc.), that are increasingly being connected to the latest generation

of PCs. The USB behaves in a similar fashion to the conventional bus ports (i.e., serial

parallel, PS/2), but is much faster, and since it does not require any IRQs, more devices

can be attached to the system, and the problem of IRQ conflict is eliminated.

The USB2PS2 PS/2-to-USB Keyboard and Mouse interface converter provides the means

for PS/2 type keyboards and mice to connect a PC, notebook, laptop, or handheld

computing device that supports the USB specification via the USB instead of using

conventional bus technology.

The USB2PS2 comes with 2 standard 6 pin mini DIN female connectors for the PS/2

keyboard and PS/2 mouse to plug into, and has an attached 30 cm (1 ft.) USB cable with

a type A plug for connection to the PCs USB port, or to a USB hub.

Note: Since most computers only have 1 or 2 USB ports, USB hubs are often used to

provide additional ports so that numerous USB pripheral devices can be

connected up at the same time.

For further convenience - especially to users of notebooks, laptops, and handhelds -

the USB2PS2 Adapter derives its operating power from the Universal Serial Bus itself,

so no bulky external power supply needs to be taken along. And because it is a USB

Specification compliant device, the USB2PS2 supports energy-saving suspend and

resume operations.
