RN-SRL-FTD5V-DGL

Controllers Overview

The RN-SRL-FTD5V-DGL is a USB-to-Serial TTL bridge board module utilizing the FTDI FT232R controller. It provides USB 2.0 Full Speed connectivity with data transfer rates from 300 to 3M baud. The module features TX, RX, RTS, CTS, VCC, and GND I/O lines. It operates within an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Factory settings configure fixed +5V CMOS drive outputs and 5V safe TTL inputs. Power is derived directly from the USB bus connection.

Controllers Feature Summary

• Enables USB-to-Serial TTL conversion bridging for microcontroller UART or I/O connections
• Includes internal EEPROM with allocated user-writable area and FTDIChip-ID security feature
• Supports hardware flow control via RTS/CTS or software flow control via XON/XOFF
• Features preconfigured TX and RX activity indicator LEDs

Controllers Applications

• Interfacing devices with TTL level serial interfaces to USB hosts
• Security applications requiring password protection for file transfers
• Microcontroller UART or I/O connection debugging and prototyping

Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific part number RN-SRL-FTD5V-DGL against the official Roving Networks datasheet to confirm compatibility with your system requirements. Ensure that the required operating voltage and interface protocols match the fixed +5V configuration documented in the specifications before procurement.

Controllers Selection Notes

Select this module when a bare PCB assembly is required for integrating USB-to-Serial functionality into custom designs. Consider the RN-SRL-PRO3V-DGL if a 3V logic level interface is needed instead of the fixed 5V output provided by this model. Verify driver support for the target operating system environment.

Controllers Part Context

This component is manufactured by Roving Networks and utilizes the FTDI FT232R chip as its core bridge controller. It serves as a specialized PCB assembly designed for quick integration into systems requiring USB connectivity for serial communication devices.

Controllers Replacement Considerations

The RN-SRL-PRO3V-DGL is listed as a related product offering similar functionality but with a Prolific chipset and 3V serial connection. No other direct substitute part numbers are confirmed in the documentation.
