USB bridging technology industry recognized leader FTDI, has recently aggressively expanded its X-Chip portfolio. The first launch of the LC231X is based on the company's highly advanced FT231X interface IC developed by the USB to serial UART bridge module, this compact (15.24mm x 28.19mm) and cost-effective not only provide engineers with optional external I / O Power supply (according to the need to configure 3.3V or 5V) and UART interface, the complete serial port and handshake protocol provides up to 3MBaud data rate. Provide optional pin or pin to allow multiple configuration options. With LED indicator for TX and RX data transfer, 6-pin interface with rear and rear standard FTDI TTL
Another LC234X USB to serial UART module is bridged using the FT234XD IC. In addition to its four data lines (RXD, TXD, RTS, CTS), there is an option that can be used as an external hardware (5V output) for power supply. Like the LC231X, the module has a configurable I / O voltage - the data I / O level can be set to 3.3V or 5V. Its size is only 15.24mm x 22.89mm. In addition to the USB-to-UART bridge, the LC234X and LC231X modules can be used for programming and debugging the embedded MCU platform (eg Arduino) and provide a USB interface for USB devices that do not have USB functionality. Both modules support -40 ° C to + 85 ° C operating temperature range.
FTDI also announced the new TTL-234X series of USB to TTL serial UART transmission lines, each with a FT234XD interface IC. These transmission lines provide a fast, easy way to connect USB with a TTL serial port hardware. The FT234XD IC is capable of handling all USB signals and protocols to simplify system connectivity. These transmission lines are USB 2.0 Full Speed compatible, support up to 3Mbits / s data transfer rate, length 1.8 meters, can provide 5V and 3.3V signal level.
