# FT232RL (Component) ## Description USB to Serial Interface, SSOP-28 FTDI USB Serial SSOP*5.3x10.2mm*P0.65mm* The FT232RL is a full-speed USB 2.0 to asynchronous serial data transfer IC. It integrates all the necessary USB protocol handling and UART interface logic, making it very easy to add USB connectivity to embedded devices without requiring complex firmware development. It is commonly used in development boards (like Arduino clones), USB-to-TTL converters, and debugging interfaces. Key Features USB Interface Fully compliant with USB 2.0 Full-Speed (12 Mbps) Integrated USB transceiver (no external components required) Supports USB suspend/resume modes Internal EEPROM for storing USB descriptors (no external EEPROM needed) Serial (UART) Interface Supports standard UART communication (TX, RX) Configurable baud rates from 300 bps up to 3 Mbps Supports hardware flow control (RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR) Bit-bang mode for simple GPIO control Integrated Components Built-in clock generator (no external crystal required) Internal EEPROM for configuration Integrated voltage regulator (3.3V output available for external use) Power Features Operates from 3.3V to 5V Can be powered directly from USB (bus-powered) Low power consumption with sleep mode Driver Support Virtual COM Port (VCP) drivers available for: Windows Linux macOS Also supports direct D2XX driver for advanced applications Package Typically available in SSOP-28 package Common Applications USB-to-serial converters (TTL/RS232) Microcontroller programming and debugging Embedded system communication Industrial and instrumentation interfaces ## Component Details - **Owner:** kicad-part-library - **Created:** 9/26/2024 - **Last Updated:** 5/6/2026 - **Visibility:** Public - **Datasheet URL:** https://ftdichip.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/DS_FT232R.pdf - **Manufacturer Name:** FTDI - **Part Type:** Integrated Circuit - **Manufacturer Part Number:** FT232RL - **Package or Case Code:** SSOP-28_5.3x10.2mm_P0.65mm - **Symbol Style:** parametric-v1 - **Used in:** 143 projects - **Stars:** 1 ## Distributor Pricing (qty 1) *Pricing shown for quantity 1.
