FT230X USB TO BASIC UART IC Version 1.4 Document No.: FT 000566 Clearance No.: FTDI 260 Future Technology Devices International Ltd. FT230X (USB to BASIC UART IC) USB Battery Charger Detection. Allows for USB The FT230X is a USB to serial UART peripheral devices to detect the presence of a interface with optimised pin count for higher power source to enable improved smaller PCB designs and the following charging. advanced features: Device supplied pre-programmed with unique USB serial number. Single chip USB to asynchronous serial data transfer interface. USB Power Configurations supports bus- powered, self-powered and bus-powered with power switching Entire USB protocol handled on the chip. No USB specific firmware programming required. Integrated +3.3V level converter for USB I/O. Fully integrated 2048 byte multi-time- True 3.3V CMOS drive output and TTL input programmable (MTP) memory, storing device operates down to 1V8 with external pull ups. descriptors and CBUS I/O configuration. Tolerant of 5V input Fully integrated clock generation with no external crystal required plus optional clock output selection Configurable I/O pin output drive strength enabling a glue-less interface to external MCU or 4 mA (min) and 16 mA (max). FPGA. Integrated power-on-reset circuit. Data transfer rates from 300 baud to 3 Mbaud (RS422, RS485, and RS232) at TTL levels. Fully integrated AVCC supply filtering - no external filtering required. 512 byte receive buffer and 512 byte transmit buffer utilising buffer smoothing technology to UART signal inversion option. allow for high data throughput. + 5V Single Supply Operation. FTDIs royalty-free Virtual Com Port (VCP) and Internal 3V3/1V8 LDO regulators Direct (D2XX) drivers eliminate the requirement for USB driver development in most cases.
