FT230XQ-R IC
The FT230XQ-R is an advanced USB 2.0 Full Speed to UART bridge, part of the innovative X-Chip series from the renowned manufacturer FTDI. This component is designed for miniaturization and to simplify the implementation of USB communication in microprocessor systems. By integrating the entire USB protocol within the silicon structure, it provides a reliable foundation for electronic projects, eliminating the need to write complex USB controller firmware.
Key Features and Specifications of FT230XQ-R
The FT230XQ-R model is optimized for low power consumption and requires a minimal number of external components (e.g., no external crystal oscillator needed). It is an ideal solution for modern energy-efficient mobile devices and advanced industrial systems. The main technical parameters of the FT230XQ-R converter include:
- USB Standard: USB 2.0 Full Speed (data transfer up to 12 Mb/s).
- UART Interface: supports data rates from 300 baud to 3Mb/s.
- Integrated MTP Memory: 2048 bytes for device descriptors and CBUS I/O configuration.
- Supply Voltage: wide range from 2.97V to 5.5V.
- Current Consumption: low operating current (typically 8mA) and suspend current (~125µA).
- Package: compact 16-pin QFN (4x4 mm), ideal for dense surface-mount (SMD) assembly.
These features make the FT230XQ-R highly efficient, and the built-in level shifter allows direct operation with 3.3V and 1.8V logic.
