Adafruit FTDI FT232BL USB to UART Chip - 10 pack

The FT232B is a classic USB to serial UART interface that bridges the gap between modern USB ports and legacy serial connections. This versatile chip supports a wide range of communication needs, enabling seamless data transfer with full handshaking and modem interface signals.

Key specifications include data rates up to 3M Baud for TTL, making it suitable for high-speed data applications, and integrated buffers that support high data throughput. With its adjustable RX buffer timeout and built-in support for event characters and line break conditions, it provides maximum flexibility for robust data management.

This chip offers single-supply operation with a range of 4.35V to 5.25V, which makes it ideal for USB bus powered devices. It features an integrated 3.3V regulator, allowing easy interfacing with both 5V and 3.3V logic.

Designed to conform with USB 1.1 and 2.0 standards, and compatible with various host controllers, it ensures seamless integration into your legacy design projects. Available in compact, lead-free RoHS compliant packages, the FT232B remains a reliable choice for unique, vintage designs in times of silicon scarcity.
