FTDI Chip | UM232R

The UM232R is a development module which uses FTDI‟s FT232RL, the one of FTDI‟s range of USB to UART interface integrated circuit devices.

Features:

• Single chip USB to UART synchronous serial data transfer interface
• Entire USB protocol handled on the chip – No USB-specific firmware programming required
• UART interface support for 7 or 8 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits and odd / even / mark / space / no parity
• Fully assisted hardware or X-On / X-Off software handshaking
• Data transfer rates from 300 baud to 3 Megabaud (RS422 / RS485 and at TTL levels) and 300 baud to 1 Megabaud (RS232)
• FTDI‟s royalty-free VCP and D2XX drivers eliminate the requirement for USB driver development in most cases
• In-built support for event characters and line break condition
• USB FTDIChip-ID™ feature
• Configurable CBUS I/O pins
• Auto transmit buffer control for RS485 applications
• Transmit and receive LED drive signals
• On board jumper allows for selection of USB bus powered supply or self powered supply
• Integrated 3.3 V level converter for USB I/O
• Integrated level converter on UART and CBUS for interfacing to 5 V - 1.8 V Logic
• On board jumper allows for selection of UART and CBUS interface IO voltage
• True 5 V / 3.3 V / 2.8 V / 1.8 V CMOS drive output and TTL input
• High I/O pin output drive option
• Integrated USB resistors

Applications:

• USB to RS232 / RS422 / RS485 Converters
