FT232RQ-TRAY

Controllers Overview

The FT232RQ-TRAY is a USB-to-UART bridge integrated circuit manufactured by FTDI. It operates within a voltage range of 1.8 V to 5.25 V and utilizes a 32-pin QFN package with dimensions of 5 x 5 mm. The device supports asynchronous and synchronous bit-bang interface modes, featuring a 256-byte FIFO buffer. It functions as a single-channel USB-to-UART converter compliant with USB 2.0 specifications.

Controllers Feature Summary

• Integrates USB signaling and protocol handling with UART functionality
• Includes internal clock generation capabilities for external logic
• Supports FTDI Chip-ID security dongle implementation

Controllers Applications

• USB to RS232/RS422/RS485 converters
• Upgrading legacy peripherals to USB interfaces
• Connecting MCU/PLD/FPGA designs to USB

Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific tray packaging configuration against official distributor documentation before ordering. Confirm that the component matches the required 32-pin QFN EP specification and operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Ensure compatibility with existing design constraints regarding the 5 x 5 mm footprint.

Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact USB-to-UART solution is required without external EEPROM or crystal components. The FT232RQ integrates necessary circuitry, simplifying the design compared to previous generations. Consider the 32-pin QFN package size for space-constrained PCB layouts requiring surface mount installation.

Controllers Part Context

This part belongs to the FT232R series, representing an evolution in FTDI's USB-to-UART bridge technology. It consolidates features previously requiring external components, such as clock generation and security ID storage, into a single chip. The TRAY suffix indicates bulk packaging suitable for automated assembly processes.

Controllers Replacement Considerations

FT232RQ-REEL offers identical electrical characteristics but differs in packaging format (tape and reel versus tray). Verify board space availability for the 32-pin QFN EP package when substituting.
