It is connected to the microcontroller through its breakout pins such as Tx, Rx, Vcc, and GND.įTDI module is connected to the USB port of the other devices using its mini-B USB port. Thus, it is used to drive microcontrollers. The module is capable to function at internal clock frequencies ranging from 6MHz, 12MHz, 24MHz, and 48MHz. It supports FTDIchip-ID functionality by which a unique identifier is assigned to every chip to provide security. Other important elements integrated into the FTDI module are EEPROM and optional clock generator output.

The FTDI FT232F chip is the brain of this module. Spec Details Chip FTDI FT232R Pins 6 pin headers & 18 through-hole connectors Working voltage 5V DC Output 3.3 DC – 5 V DC On-board LEDs Power on, Rx, Tx transmission, working status Pin size 5 x 2.54 mm Module size 36 x 18 mm Breadboard friendly Yes Interfaces Serial/UART Operating current 500 mA Ports Micro-B USB FTDI module specifications

It consists of an FTDI chip integrated with connectors, voltage regulators, Tx/Rx, and other breakout points.

The 18 through-hole connectors are also clearly visualized in the pinout.įTDI converter module is used for TTL serial communication. The USB space at the left end is the Micro-B USB port to which the USB is connected. The chip is embedded in the middle-left part of the board. The module has 6 pin headers, which are projected out of the module, and 18 through-hole connectors, which are visible as holes around the module.
