Pin No. Name Type Description
1
VCC
Output 5V Power output USB port. For a low power USB bus powered design, up to 100mA can be sourced from the
5V supply on the USB bus. A maximum of 500mA can be sourced from the USB bus in a high power USB bus
powered design.
2
VCCIO Input +1.8V to +5.25V supply to the FT232RL’s UART Interface and CBUS I/O pins. In USB bus powered designs
connect to 3V3 to drive out at 3.3V levels (connect VCCIO to VCC3O), or connect to VCC to drive out at 5V
CMOS level (connect VCCIO to VCC). This pin can also be supplied with an external 1.8V - 2.8V supply in
order to drive out at lower levels. It should be noted that in this case this supply should originate from the
same source as the supply to Vcc. This means that in bus powered designs (like the EVAL232R for example)
a regulator which is supplied by the 5V on the USB bus should be used.
3
VCC3O Output 3.3V output from FT232RL’s integrated L.D.O. regulator. This pin is decoupled to ground on the module pcb
with a 100nF capacitor. The prime purpose of this pin is to provide the internal 3.3V supply to the USB trans-
ceiver cell and the internal 1.5kΩ pull up resistor on USBDP. Up to 50mA can be drawn from this pin to power
external logic if required. This pin can also be used to supply the FT232RL’s VCCIO pin by connecting this pin
to pin 3 (VCCIO).

* When used in Input Mode, these pins are pulled to VCCIO via internal 200kΩ resistors. These pins can be
programmed to gently pull low during USB suspend ( PWREN# = “1” ) by setting an option in the internal EEPROM.
