The FTDI FT232AM is a versatile USB UART (U-UART) IC designed for efficient serial data communication over USB. It offers a cost-effective, single-chip solution for applications requiring legacy serial interfaces.
Key features include support for RS232 links up to 920K baud and RS422/RS485 links up to 2000K baud, significantly outperforming traditional UARTs. It incorporates a 384-byte receive buffer and a 128-byte transmit buffer to ensure high data throughput. The device operates from a single 4.4V to 5.25V supply and includes an integrated 3.3V regulator, eliminating the need for external components.
Designed for ease of integration, the FT232AM is compliant with USB 1.1, UHCI, and OHCI specifications. It is available in a compact 32-pin MQFP package measuring 7mm x 7mm, making it suitable for space-constrained designs. The integrated clock multiplier aids in FCC and CE compliance.
Application areas are diverse, including USB modems, PDA interface cables, RS232 converters, high-speed industrial links, digital cameras, and barcode readers. Virtual COM port drivers are available for various Windows operating systems.
