Abstract
A device capable of directly diverting data through UART port is disclosed. The device can be made to be an integrated circuit (IC) chip, so as to be disposed on a circuit board with a USB connector and three UART connectors, thereby forming a USB to UART converter. When using the USB to UART converter, the USB connector is connected to a host computer, and one UART connector is connected to an electronic device. As such, the device provides the host computer with one virtual COM port, such that the host computer is able to conduct a data transmission with the electronic device through the virtual COM port. Moreover, during the data transmission, a data monitoring electronic device is able to hear the transmitted data by way of diverting the transmitted data through the other two UART connectors.
