FT230XS-R - USB 2.0 Full-Speed to Basic Serial UART Interface IC
The FT230XS-R is a single-chip USB 2.0 full-speed to basic serial UART interface IC from FTDI, part of the low-power FT-X family. It handles the entire USB protocol on-chip with no USB-specific firmware development, and integrates 2048 bytes of multi-time-programmable (MTP) memory for device descriptors and CBUS configuration, clock generation, AVCC filtering, power-on reset and a +3.3 V LDO regulator, so no external crystal or EEPROM is needed. Data rates span 300 baud to 3 Mbaud at TTL level over 512-byte receive and transmit buffers with buffer smoothing. Operating from a 2.97 V to 5.5 V bus supply with 8 mA operating and 125 uA suspend current, it provides configurable CBUS I/O pins, transmit/receive LED drive signals, USB battery charger detection and bus- or self-powered operation. Housed in SSOP-16 and rated -40 C to +85 C, it adds a serial port to embedded hardware compactly and at low cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the maximum data rate?
A: 3 Mbaud at TTL level, with the USB side running at full speed (12 Mbps).
Q: What are the key design precautions?
A: Decouple VCC and VCCIO locally, match host MCU I/O to 3.3 V, and route USB D+/D- as 90 ohm differential, length-matched pairs.
