This tiny device is capable of asynchronous communication at up to a 3 M baud with both 3.3-volt and 5.0-volt devices such as the Propeller 1, Propeller 2, and BASIC Stamp microcontrollers. The Prop Plug slips onto a 4-pin, 0.1\" spaced header, allowing both printed circuit boards and breadboards to provide in-circuit programming capability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProp Plug Revision Notice:\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnits shipped starting 1\/28\/2021 are Rev E.  This latest revision of Prop Plug adds pin labeling to both sides of the board, uses 2-sided LEDs which are visible from both sides of the board, and introduces buffered inputs and outputs to improve isolation between the Prop Plug and target board when either is powered down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan class=\"forte\"\u003eProp Plug Key Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUSB to serial port conversion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapable of asynchronous communication up to 3 M baud\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCustomer-configurable reset behavior options — new for Rev E\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with 3.3 and 5 V microcontrollers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnects to a 4-pin, 0.1\" spaced header\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/products\/usb-a-to-micro-b-cable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eUSB A to micro B cable required, not included\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch5 class=\"ui-accordion-header ui-helper-reset ui-state-active ui-corner-top\" role=\"tab\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProp Plug Specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ui-accordion-header ui-helper-reset ui-state-active ui-corner-top\" role=\"tab\"\u003ePower Requirements: Powered by USB port (5 VDC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ui-accordion-header ui-helper-reset ui-state-active ui-corner-top\" role=\"tab\"\u003eCurrent requirements: ~15 mA (typical)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ui-accordion-header ui-helper-reset ui-state-active ui-corner-top\" role=\"tab\"\u003eUSB Communication Interface: USB 2.0 Full Speed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ui-accordion-header ui-helper-reset ui-state-active ui-corner-top\" role=\"tab\"\u003eUART Communication Interface: True 3.3V CMOS drive output and TTL input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ui-accordion-header ui-helper-reset ui-state-active ui-corner-top\" role=\"tab\"\u003eBuffered RX input compatible with 3.3V and 5V signals, tolerant to 5.5V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ui-accordion-header ui-helper-reset ui-state-active ui-corner-top\" role=\"tab\"\u003eTX and RX activity LEDs, visible from either side of the board\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ui-accordion-header ui-helper-reset ui-state-active ui-corner-top\" role=\"tab\"\u003eCommunication Speed: Asynchronous serial, 300 baud to 3 Mbps data rates\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ui-accordion-header ui-helper-reset ui-state-active ui-corner-top\" role=\"tab\"\u003eReset pulse width: ~20 µs (typical)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"ui-accordion-header ui-helper-reset ui-state-active ui-corner-top\" role=\"tab\"\u003eConnection: USB microB;
