The Universal Serial Bus (USB) is an industrial standard serial interface between a computer and peripherals such as a mouse, joystick, keyboard, UPS, etc. This application note describes how a cost-effective USB Uninterruptable Power Supply Interface (UPS) can be built using the Cypress Semiconductor single-chip CY7C63001 USB controller. The document starts with the basic operations of an uninterruptable power supply followed by an introduction to the CY7C63001 USB controller. A schematic of the CY7C63001 USB controller to the RS-232 of the UPS connection can be found in the Hardware Implementation Section.
