Communication Baudrate: 300bps ~ 3Mbps
Default Voltage Level: 3.3V TTL (switchable to 5V via solder pad)
USB Interface: USB Type-C
Protection: Self-recovery fuse and ESD diode for over-current and over-voltage protection
Status Indicators: TXD and RXD LEDs
Pinout: 5V, GND, VCC, TXD, RXD, RTS, CTS
System Compatibility: Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11, MacOS, Linux, Android

How to Use

The USB-TO-TTL-FT232 module connects via a USB Type-C cable to a PC or embedded host. The castellated hole design allows direct soldering onto other PCBs for permanent integration. By default, the module operates at 3.3V TTL logic. For applications requiring 5V logic, re-solder the VCC pads on the back to switch voltage levels.

Connect the TXD and RXD lines to your microcontroller’s RX and TX pins respectively. Additional control lines such as RTS and CTS are available for flow control if needed. TXD and RXD LEDs visually indicate data transmission activity, aiding debugging and monitoring.

Compatibility

This module is compatible with a wide range of systems and development platforms:

Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, 11
MacOS
Linux distributions (e.g., Ubuntu, Debian, Raspberry Pi OS)
Android (with USB OTG)
