7Semi FT232 USB UART Board (micro), USB To TTL (UART) Module

The 7Semi FT232 UART Module provides a simple USB micro -to-UART connection for communicating between a computer and microcontrollers, development boards, embedded controllers, and other serial devices. It converts USB communication into UART signals, allowing users to send commands, read serial data, configure hardware, and troubleshoot communication using standard serial-terminal or development software. The FT232R handles the USB protocol internally, so no USB-specific firmware is required on the connected target device.

The module is suitable for development, programming support, debugging, production testing, device configuration, and general serial communication. Its UART interface supports different logic-voltage systems, while the integrated USB interface, clock, EEPROM, and regulator help keep the design compact and easy to use.

Key Features

• The FT232R is a single-channel USB-to-UART solution with configurable CBUS functions and up to 3 Mbaud communication
• Supports RTS/CTS hardware flow control for reliable UART communication.
• Supports UART communication speeds up to 3 Mbaud for fast serial data transfer.
• Works as a Virtual COM Port, allowing it to be used with commonly available serial-terminal and development software.
• Supports 1.8 V to 5 V class UART logic interfaces, making it suitable for a wide range of embedded hardware.
• The integrated 3.3 V regulator can supply up to 50 mA to external circuitry.

FT232 devices offer two driver options:

• VCP (Virtual COM Port): Ideal for simple projects where you want your device to interact like a standard serial device.
• D2XX: Offers more control and flexibility but requires programming using API functions. Choose this if you need advanced features
