DB9 connectors used for RS232 communication are either male or female type connectors.
The PC compatible accepted electrical connections for male and female RS232 DB9 connectors are
illustrated in Figure 3.1 where the structure on the left is the top view of a male RS232 DB9 connector
and the structure on the right is the top view of a Female RS232 DB9 connector.
Assuming a design follows these connection conventions, then an FTDI male or female DB9-RS232-USB
connector can be used to replace this RS232 DB9 and turn the connection into an active USB interface.
Examples and signal directions are shown in Figure 3.2 and Figure 3.3
