About this item

This FTDI board is based on FTDI original chip FT232RL.
FT232R chips are one of the newer chips manufactured by FTDI (Future Technology Devices International).
Apart from being a USB to serial UART, it has an integrated EEPROM and optional clock generator output.
The chip also incorporates FTDI Chip-ID functionality (giving each chip a unique identifier for security) and USB termination resistors.
Cloned boards (with a cloned chip) will likely exclude the unique ID functionality and does not include an EEPROM, meaning that signals cannot be inverted.
Pins: 6 pin headers and 18 through-hole connectors. DTR, RX, TX, VCC, CTS, GND and PWR, TEN, SLEEP, CTS, 3.3V, 5V, RXL, TXL, GND x 2, TXD, DTR, RTS, VCC, RXD, R1, RSD, DCD (all marked)
The internal clock (6MHz, 12MHz, 24MHz and 48MHz) can be brought out of the device and used to drive a microcontroller or external logic.
The module has a mini-B USB port which is used to connect to an USB port of an interfaced device (e.g. a PC).
On the other side, the FTDI USB to TTL serial converter module has breakout pins (Tx, Rx, Vc and GND) that is connected to a microcontroller’s corresponding pins.
Communication takes place using TTL (transistor-transistor logic).
It has a 3.3/5V DC jumper and will supply 500mA through its Vc pin.
