TTL-232R Converter Cable provides a USB to TTL Serial interface with various end connectors.
On board FT232RL provides single chip USB to asynchronous serial data transfer interface.
Entire USB protocol handled by the electronics in the cable USB.
Connect directly to a microcontroller UART or I/O pins.
UART interface support for 7 or 8 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits and odd / even / mark / space / no parity.
Fully assisted hardware (RTS#/CTS#) or X-On / X-Off software handshaking.
Data transfer rates from 300 baud to 3 Mbaud at TTL levels.
Internal EEPROM with user writeable area.
FTDI's royalty-free VCP allow for communication as a standard emulated COM port and D2XX ‘direct' drivers provide DLL application programming interface.
Support for FT232R FTDIChip-ID feature for improved security.
+3.3V output allows external logic to be powered from the USB port.
6 way outputs provide Tx, Rx, RTS#, CTS#, VCC and GND (except Audio Jack which provides only TX,RX and GND).
Low USB bandwidth consumption.
UHCI / OHCI / EHCI host controller compatible.
USB 2.0 Full Speed compatible.
-40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.
Cable length is 1.80m (6 feet).
FCC and CE compliant.
