UMFT231XA-01

UMFT231XA-01 is a FT231X based USB to full handshaking UART development module. The UMFT231XA is a development module for FTDI’s FT231XQ, one of the devices from FTDI’s range of USB interface bridging integrated circuit devices. FT231X 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 FT231X 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.

• UMFT231XA-01 is a module which is designed to plug into a standard 0.3″” wide 20 pin DIP socket
• Long pin variant : 5.6mm
• On board USB ‘mini-B’ socket allows module to be connected to PC via standard A to mini-B USB cable
• Functionally configurable using solder links
• Default solder links setup enables module to function without peripheral wires or application board

Warnings

Use of this device in life support and/or safety applications is entirely at the user’s risk. Market demand for this product has caused an extension in leadtimes. Delivery dates may fluctuate. Product exempt from discounts.

Notes

Failure to properly remove solder from JP1 and JP2 can cause a direct short between two different power supplies resulting in damage to the UMFT231XA-01 module and the target circuit.
