Description
The TTL-232RG generic cables are a family of USB to TTL serial UART converter cables incorporating FTDI’s FT232RQ USB to Serial UART interface IC device which handles all the USB signalling and protocols. The cables provide a fast, simple way to connect devices with a logic level serial interface to USB.

FEATUREs
• TTL-232RG generic converter cable provides a
   USB to TTL Serial interface with various logic
   levels.
• On board FT232RQ 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.
• Wide range of output drive voltages 1.8V to
   5.0V safe TTL inputs makes the TTL-232RG
   easy to interface to 5.0V MCU’s.
• 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.
• Voltage output power allows external logic to
   be powered from the USB port.
• Cable can be used to accept IO voltage from
   application interface logic allowing users to
   supply IO voltage levels.
• 6 way outputs provide Tx, Rx, RTS#, CTS#,
   VCC and GND.
• Low USB bandwidth consumption.
• UHCI / OHCI / EHCI host controller compatible.
• USB 2.0 (12Mb/s) Full Speed compatible.
• -40°C to +85°C operating temperature range.
• Cable length is 1.80m (6 feet).
• FCC and CE compliant.
• Custom versions also available (subject to
   MOQ).

Typical Applications
• USB to Serial TTL Level Converter
• Upgrading Legacy Peripherals to USB
• Interface Microcontroller UART or I/O to USB
• Interface FPGA / PLD to USB
• Interface to FTDI VDRIVE2 or VMUSIC2
   modules.
• Interface USB to none-standard (application
   dependant) logic levels.
• Replace MAX232 type level shifters allowing for
   direct connection of products to PC via USB
• USB Instrumentation PC interface
• USB Industrial Control
• USB Software / Hardware Encryption Dongles
