FT232 USB UART Board (Type A)

Description

The FT232 USB UART Board (Type A) is an accessory board that features a USB-to-UART serial convertor FT232, USB Type A connector, and 3 LEDs: TXD LED, RXD LED, POWER LED.

Features

• Original FT232RL onboard
• Supports Mac, Linux, Android, WinCE, Windows 7/8/8.1/10...
• 3 power mode : 5V output, 3.3V output, or powered by target board (3.3V-5V)
• 3 LEDs: TXD LED, RXD LED, POWER LED
• Functional Pins
  • TXD, RXD, RTS#, CTS# : connected to the onboard soldered pinheaders
  • The other Pins : accessable on the drill holes (separate pinheaders are also provided for easily connecting to user system, the pitch is compatible with bread boards)
• Weight: 0.013 kg

In the case of working with a MCU:

• VCCIO ↔ 3.3V or 5V output (the module is powered from USB, onboard jumper should be shorted to 3.3V or 5V)
• GND ↔ GND
• TXD ↔ MCU.RX (signal direction: MCU.RX << FT232 << PC.TX)
• RXD ↔ MCU.TX (signal direction: MCU.TX >> FT232 >> PC.RX)
• RTS ↔ MCU.CTS (signal direction: MCU.CTS << FT232 << PC.RTS)
• CTS ↔ MCU.RTS (signal direction: MCU.RTS >> FT232 >> PC.CTS)

Package content:

• FT232 USB UART Board (Type A) × 1
• 40-pin male pinheader & 40-pin female pinheader × 1
