TTL-232R TTL TO USB SERIAL CONVERTER RANGE OF CABLES Datasheet Version 2.03

Clearance No.: FTDI# 53

1 Description

The TTL-232R cables are a family of USB to TTL serial UART converter cables incorporating FTDI’s

FT232RQ USB to Serial UART interface IC device which handles all the USB signalling and protocols. The

cables provide a fast, simple way to connect devices with a TTL level serial interface to USB.

Each TTL-232R cable contains a small internal electronic circuit board, utilising the FT232R, which is

encapsulated into the USB connector end of the cable. The FT232R datasheet, DS_FT232R, is available at

http://www.ftdichip.com. The other end of the cable comes with a selection of different connectors

supporting various applications – see Table 1.1

Cables are FCC, CE, RoHS compliant and are available at TTL levels of +5V and +3.3V.

Cables are available with either a 6-way SIL,0.1” pitch connector, a 3.5mm Audio Jack, an 8 way, keyed

2mm pitch connector (intended for use with VMUSIC2 or VDRIVE2) or bare, tinned wire ended

connections (see Table 1.1)

The USB side of the cable is USB powered and USB 2.0 full speed compatible. Each cable is 1.8m long

and supports a data transfer rate up to 3 Mbaud. Each cable supports the FTDIChip-ID™, with a unique

USB serial number programmed into the FT232R. This feature can be used to create a security or

password protected file transfer access using the cable. Further information and examples on this feature

are available at http://www.ftdichip.com under FTDIChip-ID Projects.

The TTL-232R cables require USB drivers, available free from http://www.ftdichip.com, which are

used to make the FT232R in the cable appear as a virtual COM port (VCP). This then allows the user to

communicate with the USB interface via a standard PC serial emulation port (for example TTY). Another

FTDI USB driver, the D2XX driver, can also be used with application software to directly access the

FT232R on the cable though a DLL. This is illustrated in the Figure 1.1

Clearance No.: FTDI# 53

Appendix A - Cable EEPROM Configuration. A user area of the internal EEPROM is available to system

designers to allow storing additional data. The internal EEPROM descriptors can be programmed in circuit,

over USB without any additional voltage requirement. It can be programmed using the FTDI utility

software called FT_PROG, which can be downloaded from FTDI Utilities on the FTDI website

(www.ftdichip.com).

Lower Operating and Suspend Current. The FT232R has a low 15mA operating supply current and a

very low USB suspend current of approximately 70μA. (Note that during suspend mode, the current

drawn by application should not exceed 2.5mA to remain USB compliant)

Low USB Bandwidth Consumption. The USB interface of the FT232R, and therefore the TTL-232R

cables has been designed to use as little as possible of the total USB bandwidth available from the USB

host controller.

High Output Drive Option. The UART interface I/O pins on the TTL-232R cables (RXD, TXD, RTS#, and

CTS#) can be configured to use the FT232R’s high output drive option. This option allows the FT232R

I/O pins to drive up to three times the standard signal drive level. This allows multiple devices to be

driven, or devices that require a greater signal drive strength to be interfaced to the cables. This option is

enabled in the internal EEPROM.

UART Pin Signal Inversion. The sense of each of the eight UART signals can be individually inverted by

configuring options in the internal EEPROM. For example CTS# (active low) can be changed to CTS

(active high), or TXD can be changed to TXD#.

FTDIChip-ID™. The FT232R includes the new FTDIChip-ID™ security dongle feature. This FTDIChip-ID™

feature allows a unique number to be burnt into each cable during manufacture. This number cannot be

reprogrammed. This number is only readable over USB can be used to form the basis of a security dongle

which can be used to protect any customer application software being copied. This allows the possibility

of using the TTL-232R cables as a dongle for software licensing. Further to this, a renewable license

scheme can be implemented based on the FTDIChip-ID™ number when encrypted with other information.

This encrypted number can be stored in the user area of the FT232R internal EEPROM, and can be

decrypted, then compared with the protected FTDIChip-ID™ to verify that a license is valid. Web based

applications can be used to maintain product licensing this way. An application note, AN232R-02,

available from FTDI website (www.ftdichip.com) describes this feature.

Improved EMI Performance. The TTL-232R cables are FCC and CE certified.

Extended Operating Temperature Range - The TTL-232R cables are capable of operating over an

extended temperature range of -40º to +85º C thus allowing them to be used in automotive or industrial

applications.

6 TTL-232R-5V-WE and TTL-232R-3V3-WE Cables

The TTL-232R-5V-WE and TTL-232R-3V3-WE cables are both un-terminated; they are bare and tinned

wires. The difference between the two cables is that the TTL-232R-5V-WE operates at +5V levels (signals

and power supply) and the TTL-232R-3V3-WE operates at +3.3V levels (signals only, VCC=+5V).

7 TTL-232R-3V3-2mm Cables

The TTL-232R-3V3-2mm cable is terminated by a 8 way, 2mm pitch, Single-In-Line (SIL) keyed

connector. The TTL-232R-3V3-2mm operates at +3.3V levels (signals and power supply). These cables

are primarily intended for interfacing the FTDI VDRIVE2 and VMUSIC2 modules.

Note that when connected to VDRIVE2 or VMUSIC2 module, the TTL-232R-3V3-2mm cable 8-way

connector pin 1 connects to pin 8 of the module, and pin 8 of the cable connects to pin 1 of the cable.
