FT234XD

FT234XD - Full Speed USB to Basic UART
This USB2.0 Full Speed IC offers a basic UART to USB bridge in a compact IC package; 3x3mm footprint in a 12 pin, DFN package. The device is a UART, capable of operating up to 3MBaud, with low power consumption (8mA). The FT234XD includes the complete FT-X series feature set, including battery charging detection and enables USB to be added into a system design quickly and easily over a UART interface

Key Hardware Features
Single chip USB to asynchronous serial data transfer interface.
Entire USB protocol handled on the chip. No USB specific firmware programming required.
Fully integrated 2048 byte EEPROM for storing device descriptors and CBUS I/O configuration.
Fully integrated clock generation with no external crystal required plus optional clock output selection enabling a glue-less interface to external MCU or FPGA.
Data transfer rates from 300 baud to 3 Mbaud.
512 byte receive buffer and 512 byte transmit buffer utilizing buffer smoothing technology to allow for high data throughput.
FTDI's royalty-free Virtual Com Port (VCP) and Direct (D2XX) drivers eliminate the requirement for USB driver development in most cases.
Configurable CBUS I/O pins.
Transmit and receive LED drive signals.
UART interface support for 7 or 8 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits and odd / even / mark / space / no parity
Synchronous and asynchronous bit bang interface options with RD# and WR# strobes.
Battery Charger Detection. May be used by mobile devices to detect the presence of a charger on the USB port to enable higher current / faster charging of batteries.
Device supplied pre-programmed with unique USB serial number.
Supports bus powered, self powered and high-power bus powered USB configurations.
