Introduction of FT232RL

FT232RL is a USB-to-serial (UART) chip produced by FTDI, which is commonly used in embedded systems (Arduino Nano, Arduino Pro Mini and ATmega328P) to realize the USB to TTL conversion function, and it can support a lot of baud rates, so it is used in many scenarios.

Main Applications

FT232RL circuit design occupies very little space, convenient pinout design and schematic, so it is often integrated into breakout boards (FTDI USB to TTL Serial Adapter and FTDI USB to TTL Serial Converter Adapter Module) to enable JTDI USB to TTL conversion. Module), make JTAG connection and programmer become easy and efficient, so you can save a lot of hardware development time, and breakout boards can also be compatible with ESP32 and Raspberry Pi development boards, you can read the FT232RL DATASHEET PDF to understand the various parameters and specifications to help you better use the chip.

Packaging

The chip is also available in a variety of packages such as reel, tube and SSOP to meet different PCBA requirements.

Precautions and Compatibility

FT232RL chip driver can be downloaded from many websites and can be used normally, but when you buy the chip, please pay attention to the regular merchants, because there are a lot of fake products on the market, if you want to use an alternative program, CH340G and CP2102 is also a very good replacement of the function parameters.
