The FTDI Chip USB to UART evaluation board is a USB to TTL serial UART converter PCB, incorporating FTDI’s FT232RQ USB to serial UART interface IC device that handles all the USB signalling and protocols. This PCB provides a fast and simple way to connect devices with a TTL level serial interface to USB. It supports 5V UART signalling and has 5V or 75mA power output.
Features and Benefits
Connects directly to a microcontroller UART or I/O pins Data transfer rates from 300 baud to 3Mbaud at TTL levels Internal EEPROM with user writeable area Support for FT232R FTDI Chip-ID feature for improved security PCB is USB powered, no external supply required Low USB bandwidth consumption UHCI/OHCI/EHCI host controller compatible USB 2.0 full speed compatible
Applications
USB to serial TTL level converter Upgrading legacy peripherals to USB Interface microcontroller UART or I/O to USB Interface FPGA/PLD to USB USB instrumentation PC interface USB industrial control USB software/hardware encryption dongles
