UMFT231XE USB to Full-
Handshake UART
Development Module
UMFT231XE is a USB to serial Full-Handshake UART DIP module with a 0.6” row pitch.
1 Introduction
1.1 Features
The UMFT231XE is a development module
for FTDI‟s FT231XQ, one of the devices
from FTDI‟s range of USB interface bridging
integrated circuit devices. FT231X is a USB
to UART interface with a battery charger
detection feature, which can allow batteries
to be charged with a higher current from a
dedicated charger port (without the
FT231X being enumerated). In addition,
asynchronous and synchronous bit bang
interface modes are available. The
internally generated clock (6MHz, 12MHz
and 24MHz) can be brought out of the on
one of the CBUS pin to be used to drive a
microprocessor or external logic.
The UMFT231XE is a module which is
designed to plug into a standard 0.6” wide
20 pin DIP socket. All components used,
including the FT231XQ are Pb-free (RoHS
compliant).
The UMFT231XE is fitted with a FT231XQ,
all the features of the FT231X can be
utilized with the UMFT231XE. For a full list
of the FT231X‟s features please see the
FT231X datasheet which can be found by
clicking here.
In addition to the features listed in the
FT231X datasheet, the UMFT231XE has the
following features:
 Small PCB assembly module designed to
fit a standard 15.24mm (0.6”) wide 20
pin DIP socket. Pins are on a 2.54mm
(0.1”) pitch.
 On board USB „mini-B‟ socket allows
module to be connected to a PC via a
standard A to mini-B USB cable.
 Functionally configurable using jumpers.
The default jumper setup enables the
module to function without peripheral
wires or application board. Other
configurations enable external power
supply options and variation of logic
reference levels.
