FTDI MM232R USB to UART Module Development Kit

The FTDI MM232R is a compact USB to serial UART development module based on the FT232RQ integrated circuit. Slightly larger than a standard USB connector, it provides a complete USB-serial interface in a remarkably small package, making it perfect for new development projects or adding USB connectivity to existing designs.

Powered directly from the USB port, the module supports RTS/CTS hardware handshaking and enables high-speed serial data communication at TTL levels, with transfer rates up to an impressive 3 MBaud. It also brings out several configurable CBUS pins from the FT232R, allowing the MM232R to generate clock signals for external logic, adding to its versatility.

Key Features & Benefits

• Single-Chip Solution: The entire USB protocol is managed on the chip, eliminating the need for complex USB-specific firmware programming.
• High-Speed Data Transfer: Supports a wide range of baud rates from 300 baud up to 3 megabaud for flexible communication needs.
• Comprehensive Handshaking: Offers fully assisted hardware handshaking or X-On/X-Off software handshaking for reliable data flow control.
• Integrated EEPROM: Features a 1024-bit internal EEPROM for storing custom USB Vendor ID (VID), Product ID (PID), and serial number.
• Flexible Power Options: Supports bus-powered, self-powered, and high-power bus-powered USB configurations.
• Driver Support: FTDI's royalty-free Virtual COM Port (VCP) and D2XX drivers remove the requirement for custom USB driver development.
• Wide Voltage Compatibility: Provides true 5V, 3.3V, 2.8V, and 1.8V CMOS drive output with TTL input compatibility.
• Low Power Consumption: Designed for low operating and USB suspend current.
• Easy Connection: Connects to a PC using a standard USB A to B cable.
