UMFT230XA USB to Basic
UART Development Module
UMFT230XA is a USB to Basic UART DIP module with a 0.3” row pitch.
1
Introduction
The UMFT230XA is a development module
for FTDI’s FT230XQ, one of the devices
from FTDI’s range of USB interface bridging
integrated circuit devices. FT230X is a USB
to UART interface with a battery charger
detection feature, which can allow batteries
to be charged with a higher current from a
dedicated charger port (without the
FT230X being enumerated). In addition,
asynchronous and synchronous bit bang
interface modes are available. The
internally generated clock (6MHz, 12MHz
and 24MHz) can be brought out of the on
one of the CBUS pin to be used to drive a
microprocessor or external logic.
The UMFT230XA is a module which is
designed to plug into a standard 0.3” wide
16 pin DIP socket. All components used,
including the FT230XQ are Pb-free (RoHS
compliant).
1.1
Features
The UMFT230XA is fitted with a FT230XQ; all
the features of the FT230X can be utilized with
the UMFT230XA. For a full list of the FT230X’s
features please see the FT230X datasheet which
can be found by clicking
here.
In addition to the features listed in the FT230X
datasheet, the UMFT230XA has the following
features:
Small PCB assembly module designed to fit
a standard 7.62mm (0.3”) wide 16 pin DIP
socket. Pins are on a 2.54mm (0.1”) pitch.
On board USB ‘mini-B’ socket allows module
to be connected to a PC via a standard A to
mini-B USB cable.
Functionally configurable using solder links.
The default solder links setup enables the
module to function without peripheral wires
or application board. Other configurations
enable external power supply options and
variation of logic reference levels.
Use of FTDI devices in life support and/or safety applications is entirely at the user’s risk, and the user agrees
to defend, indemnify and hold harmless FTDI from any and all damages, claims, suits or expense resulting
from such use.
