Patent number: 6877663Abstract: A universal interface driver application specific integrated circuit (UIDA) for a data reading device which supports multiple host interface configurations through the use of shared communications lines. In one application, the UIDA is a 32 or 44-pin TQFP chip located in a bar code scanner, or other data reader, connected to a host processing device such as a computer terminal. The scanner reads and decodes bar codes, transmitting the information to the host processing device through an interconnect cable using a host specific input/output interface protocol. The UIDA contains circuitry to support numerous different host interface protocols, such as RS-232C, IBM46XX, or Keyboard Wedge interface, in order to allow a single data reader to operate with a wide variety of host processing devices.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2003Date of Patent: April 12, 2005Assignee: PSC Scanning, Inc.Inventors: Brian M. Kelly, Jeffrey T. Robson, Rockie D. Moch, Rick Wright, Thomas E. Tamburrini

Publication number: 20040065741Abstract: An interface selection and configuration system for a computer peripheral in which configuration for the peripheral and/or the host interface is at least in part accomplished by the interface connector cable. In a preferred embodiment, the computer peripheral is equipped with one or more hardware interfaces. The interface connector cable has a first end connector for attaching to the computer peripheral. The first end connector of the interface connector cable is typically a multiple pin connector constructed and arranged to be properly physically and electrically connectable only to a specific computer peripheral or class of computer peripherals, the first end connector including at least one electrical connection between two pins for completing a circuit within the computer peripheral thereby enabling the computer peripheral.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 28, 2003Publication date: April 8, 2004Applicant: PSC Scanning, Inc.Inventors: Brad R.
