My MRT USB Terminal now works with only 3.3v supported HDD before this it works with 3.3v & 1.8v. Now i can't work with 1.8v (Greenda, Rosewood etc) Attachment: MRT USB Terminal.jpg [ 1.23 MiB | Viewed 17195 times ] is it repairable? which parts to check? |

I presume that U2 is logic level translator, try to find out which one is it and provide I/O level power to corresponding pin. U3 and U4 could be regulators providing 3.3 and 1.8 as detected. |

CP2102 has a built-in 3.3V LDO regulator, so I expect that the external LDOs may be 1.8V and 2.5V. |

Connect Tx to Rx and then perform a loopback test using PuTTY, HyperTerminal, or some other communications software. I could be more specific, but all I see are black things. |

It is working with ST3500418AS and 500DM002 etc but not working with latest model HDD (ie. No Terminal OUTPUT) drivers changed but no luck 1.8v and 2.5v is not supported but some days before Adapter worked well. how to repair this? |

There don't appear to be any LDO regulators. Instead U3 and U4 appear to be Schmitt trigger inverters, and these perform the level translation. The RxD input appears to be cascaded through these two inverters before passing to U2 and then on to CP2102. I would set up a loopback test with RxD connected to TxD, and then send a continuous stream of "U" characters (alternate 1s and 0s). Use a scope to monitor the signal transitions.

The input protection circuitry on this device allows overvoltage tolerance on the input, allowing the device to be used as a logic–level translator from 3.0 V CMOS logic to 5.0 V CMOS Logic or from 1.8 V CMOS logic to 3.0 V CMOS Logic while operating at the high–voltage power supply.

@gps31, did you get anywhere with this? You can create a file consisting of 100K repetitions of the letter "U" and then transmit it to your adapter's virtual COM port at 300bps (= 30 bytes per second). That should give you 55 minutes of troubleshooting time before you need to resend the file. Or you could create a 1MB file for 9 hours of troubleshooting.

Are they not solving the issue by having discontinued the old aterminal adapter in the OP with a new adapter wirh faster speeds and voltage settings? What they failed to do is provide a link to easily order the newer adapter in ther post above or on the linked web page. |
