Future Technology Devices International Ltd. FT232R USB UART IC


Today Let's learn about the hot ic chip FT232R developed by Future Technology Devices International Ltd.


FTDI Chip develops innovative silicon solutions that enhance interaction with today’s technology. FTDI Chip’s long-established, continuously expanding Universal Serial Bus (USB) product line boasts universally recognized products. The company’s Embedded Video Engine (EVE) graphic controllers each pack display, audio and touch functionality onto a single chip allowing dramatic reductions in the development time and bill-of-materials costs involved in Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) implementation. FTDI Chip also provides families of highly differentiated, speed-optimized microcontrollers with augmented connectivity.


The FT232R device is 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 that 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.
