List of commercial alternativesΒΆ

As part of the research on the solutions on event marking from USB to TTL, we searched the Internet for commercial alternatives and contacted the identified Manufacturers for information about the Microcontroller they used in their product.

All of the products listed in the table are intended towards converting USB output to TTL output, however the products differ on a wide range of attributes such as:

  • the commercial price

  • the number of (additional) features supplied

  • the microcontroller implementation (note that n/a in the table means that there is currently no information on this)

Note

We do not claim that this table is complete. If you think an entry is missing, please let us know and we will add it.
