The USB232R is the latest RoHS compliant, low-cost integrated module for transferring data to / from a peripheral to a host PC. The module is based on the FT232R USB to serial UART IC from FTDI.
Single module High-Speed USB Serial UART solution that is based on the
FTDI FT232R USB IC
Integrated Type-B USB Connector
RoHS Compliant
No external passive components required
Module can be configured for both External and Bus powered operation.
On board power switching circuit for high bus powered applications
24-pin Dual In-Line Package (Ideal for prototyping)
FT232R Features
Single chip USB to asynchronous 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.
