FT232R - USB UART
IC |
|
|
The FT232R
is the latest device to be added to FTDI’s range
of USB UART interface Integrated Circuit Devices. The FT232R is a USB to
serial UART interface with optional clock generator output, and the new
FTDIChip-ID™ security dongle feature. In addition, asynchronous and
synchronous bit bang interface modes are available. USB to serial
designs using the FT232R have been further simplified by fully
integrating the external EEPROM, clock circuit and USB resistors onto
the device. The FT232R adds two new functions compared with its
predecessors, effectively making it a "3-in-1" chip for some application
areas. The internally generated clock (6MHz, 12MHz, 24MHz, and 48MHz)
can be brought out of the device and used to drive a microcontroller or
external logic. A unique number (the FTDIChip-ID™) is burnt into the
device during manufacture and is readable over USB, thus forming the
basis of a security dongle which can be used to protect customer
application software from being copied.
The FT232R is available in Pb-free (RoHS compliant) compact 28-Lead
SSOP and QFN-32 packages.
