FT233HPQ-REEL

Controllers Overview

The FT233HPQ-REEL is a USB interface integrated circuit manufactured by FTDI, designed as a bridge converting USB signals to UART or FIFO interfaces. It operates within a supply voltage range of 1.08 V to 1.32 V and supports High Speed (HS) and Full Speed (FS) data rates up to 12 Mb/s. The device features a RISC core and includes I2C and UART interfaces. Packaged in a QFN-64 format for SMD/SMT installation, it functions across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C with a typical working current of 22.36 mA.

Controllers Feature Summary

• Integrates a RISC core for efficient data processing within the USB-to-UART/FIFO bridge architecture.
• Supports dual-port operation with configurable interface protocols including I2C and UART.
• Complies with USB Type-C 3.0 standards while maintaining backward compatibility with USB 2.0 speeds.

Controllers Applications

• Embedded systems requiring high-speed serial communication via USB connectivity.
• Industrial control interfaces utilizing UART or FIFO protocol bridges.
• IoT devices needing compact QFN packaging for surface-mount assembly.

Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix REEL indicates reel packaging when ordering. Confirm that the 1.08 V to 1.32 V power supply requirements align with the target system design. Ensure ESD protection measures are adequate given the moisture sensitivity classification. Cross-reference the QFN-64 footprint dimensions during PCB layout finalization to guarantee mechanical compatibility.

Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel USB-to-UART or FIFO bridge is required in a low-voltage environment. Compare against the FT4233HPQ if multiple independent channels are necessary. Consider the FT232HP series for legacy pin-compatible designs if the application does not require the specific capabilities of the FT233 family. Verify thermal dissipation needs for the QFN-64 package under continuous load conditions.

Controllers Part Context

This part belongs to the FT233 series from FTDI, which focuses on USB interface solutions. It differs from the FT2233 and FT4233 series primarily in channel count and specific interface configurations. The HPQ designation typically denotes a specific package variant within the broader product line, distinguishing it from older HL or RN series components.

Controllers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Designers should consult official FTDI cross-reference guides for potential alternatives such as other members of the FT233HPQ family or updated revisions within the same series.
