EVAL232R
FT232RL USB to RS232
Evaluation Module
Incorporating Clock Generator Output
and FTDIChip-ID⢠Security Dongle
The EVAL232R is a USB to RS232 evaluation module for FTDIâs FT232RL USB - Serial UART interface IC device, the
latest device to be added to FTDIâs range of USB UART interface Integrated Circuit Devices.
The FT232RL is a USB to serial UART interface with optional clock generator output, and the new FTDIChip-IDâ¢
security dongle feature. In addition, asynchronous and synchronous bit bang interface modes are available. USB to
serial interface designs using the FT232RL have been further simpliï¬ed by fully integrating the external EEPROM,
clock circuit and USB resistors onto the device.
The FT232RL adds two new functions compared with its predecessors, effectively making it a â3-in-1â chip for some
application areas. The internally generated clock (6MHz, 12MHz, 24MHz, and 48MHz) can be brought out of the
device and used to drive a microcontroller or external logic. A unique number (the FTDIChip-IDâ¢) is burnt into the
device during manufacture and is readable over USB, thus forming the basis of a security dongle which can be used
to protect customer application software from being copied.
The EVAL232R is supplied on a 61.0mm x 32.0mm (2.40â x 1.26â) PCB. All components used, including the FT232RL
and RS232 level converter IC are Pb-free (RoHS compliant).
