USB UART Board

Product Code: MIKROE-483

IC/Module: FT232R Serial UART to USB Interface The FT232R is a fully integrated serial UART to USB interface that reduces the external component count by including external EEPROM, clock circuit and USB resistors onto the device. This way, it also ensures further simplification of USB to serial designs. FT232R also features synchronous and asynchronous bit bang interface options with RD# and WR# strobes. Connectors and Jumpers The USB UART Board utilizes the USB MINIB connector CN1 for connecting to USB devices. The 1x6 connector CN2 and 1x9 connector CN3 are used to establish connection with the microcontroller. On the other hand, the board features an on-board jumper J6 that allows selection of a logic level (3.3V or 5V), which is sent to the VCCIO pin on 1x6 connector CN2.
