FT234XD-T

Controllers Overview

The FT234XD-T is a USB to UART bridge controller manufactured by Future Technology Devices International Ltd. It provides a compact solution for converting USB signals to asynchronous serial data, utilizing a 12-pin DFN EP package with dimensions of 3mm x 3mm and a height of 0.73mm. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V, with typical operation at 3.3V or 5V. It supports USB 2.0 full-speed communication at 12Mbps and features an integrated EEPROM for storing device configuration data. The component is designed for surface-mount assembly in tape and reel packaging.

Controllers Feature Summary

• Integrates USB 2.0 full-speed interface with asynchronous UART functionality
• Includes built-in EEPROM for non-volatile storage of device parameters
• Supports hardware flow control via RTS# and CTS# pins

Controllers Applications

• Embedded systems requiring USB connectivity for serial debugging
• IoT devices needing compact USB-to-serial conversion
• Industrial equipment interfacing with host computers via USB

Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape and reel packaging when sourcing components. Confirm that the manufacturer designation matches Future Technology Devices International Ltd. Ensure compliance with relevant regional standards such as RoHS before integration into final products.

Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs prioritizing minimal PCB footprint due to its small 12-pin DFN form factor. Consider the operating voltage range compatibility with the target system's power rails. Evaluate the need for internal EEPROM storage against external memory requirements.

Controllers Part Context

This part belongs to the FT234X family of USB-to-UART controllers from FTDI. It shares functional similarities with other members like the FT234XD but differs in packaging and delivery format. The series is characterized by low pin counts and integrated power management features suitable for space-constrained applications.

Controllers Replacement Considerations
