FT232AM Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The FTDI FT232AM is a cost-effective, single-chip USB UART (U-UART) solution designed for transferring serial data over USB. It offers high data transfer rates, with RS232 links supporting up to 920K baud and RS422/RS485 links reaching 2000K baud. This significantly enhances performance compared to traditional UART solutions.

 

The device features a 384-byte receive buffer and a 128-byte transmit buffer, enabling high data throughput. It supports full hardware-assisted or X-On/X-Off handshaking, event characters, and line break conditions. For RS485 applications, it includes auto transmit buffer control.

 

The FT232AM integrates a 3.3V regulator, eliminating the need for an external component. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 4.4V to 5.25V. The integrated clock multiplier, operating between 6MHz and 48MHz, aids in FCC and CE compliance.

 

This IC is compliant with UHCI and OHCI specifications, as well as the USB 1.1 specification. It is housed in a compact 32-pin MQFP package measuring 7mm x 7mm. Virtual COM port drivers are available for various Windows operating systems, with drivers for other platforms under development.
