Binho Pulsar: Multi-Protocol USB Host Adapter

What is the Binho Pulsar USB Host Adapter and what does it do?

Binho Pulsar

The Binho Pulsar USB Host Adapter allows one to interface a PC directly to hardware circuits. Featuring a USB 2.0 High Speed 480 Mbps link to the host, the Pulsar offers an unmatched value proposition in the test tool market. The Pulsar features a modern USB Type-C port, 5 x RGB LEDs for visual status indication, and a variety of DUT-facing connections all in a compact, robust machined-aluminum enclosure including integrated mounting holes.

The host adapter is able to communicate on many digital buses: I2C, SPI, UART, RS-485, 1-Wire, and CAN-FD. All of these protocols are implemented on their own dedicated pins and can be operated simultaneously. A bank of 6 x dedicated digital GPIO pins can be assigned to other related or unrelated purposes such as GPIO, interrupts, resets, chip selects, etc, as well as operating as digital PWM outputs.
