LC231X Module Datasheet Version 1.1 Document Reference No.: FT 001388 Clearance No.: FTDI 516 Future Technology Devices International Limited Datasheet LC231X Development Module 1.1 Features 1 Introduction The LC231X module utilises the FT231X from The LC231X module is a low cost USB to UART FTDI. For a full list of the FT231Xs features bridge using FTDIs FT231X to transfer data at up refer to the FT231X datasheet. to 3M Baud. Ideal for programming Arduino Pro, ESP modules etc.. It also provides the pinout which follows the industry standard FTDI TTL cable In addition, the LC231X has the following interface. The module provides the UART interface features: with full modem handshaking control too. Small PCB size as 15.24mm X 28.19mm The LC231X IO interface also provides the option Configurable IO voltage interface to output 5V power to external hardware. The interface IO levels may be set to either set to 3V3 USB 2.0 full speed or 5V by an on-board jumper with no soldering / de-soldering required. In 5V mode, outputs are rail Provides a full modem control interface to rail for maximum reliability. Low supply current :10mA Supported baud rates: 300 bps to 3 Mbps The LC231X module provides 2 interface options. One is a 1X6 pin right angle socket header which Power output to external logic 5V/3V3 follows the industry standard FTDI TTL cable Provides two I/O header options: interface for basic UART signals(RXD, TXD, RTS, CTS, Power and GND). The other is the full UART - One 1X6 pin right angle socket header plus modem handshake control signals, mapped to for standard FTDI TTL cable interface, two rows of 1x7 pin headers. Note the user cannot fit all connectors at the same time. The two - Or two rows of 1x7 pin headers for full header rows are spaced 0.5 apart along the sides modem handshake control and GPIO of the board, which allows the module to plug into a solderless breadboard. Each module is supplied functions. with one right angle socket and two 7pin headers o o -40 C to +85 C operational temperature included. The user can select which ones to fit. range Furthermore there are TX and RX LEDs to indicate Full RoHS compliance data transmission on the UART signals.
