FT232RL USB to Serial UART Interface IC SMD SSOP 28 Package

FT232RL USB to Serial UART Interface IC SMD SSOP 28 Package 

The FT232RL is a popular USB to serial UART interface IC that enables seamless communication between a USB host and devices using standard serial protocols. It converts USB data into UART-level signals (TXD, RXD, RTS, CTS, etc.), allowing microcontrollers, embedded systems, and serial devices to connect directly to a PC via USB without complex USB firmware development.

The device integrates a USB transceiver, clock generator, and internal EEPROM for device configuration, significantly reducing the number of external components required. Packaged in a compact SSOP-28 surface-mount package, the FT232RL is ideal for space-constrained designs and reliable USB-to-serial applications.
