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 FTDI’s FT232RL USB - Serial UART interface IC device, the  
latest device to be added to FTDI’s 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-ID™  
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 simplified 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 “3-in-1” 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-ID™) 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 (2.40” x 1.26”) PCB. All components used, including the FT232RL  
and RS232 level converter IC are Pb-free (RoHS compliant).

2. Features and Enhancements  
2.1 Key Features  
This section summarises the key features and enhancements of the FT232RL IC device which is used on the  
EVAL232R Module. For further details, consult the FT232R datasheet, which is available from the FTDI website.  
Integrated Clock Circuit - Previous generations of FTDI’s USB UART devices required an external crystal or ceramic  
resonator. The clock circuit has now been integrated onto the device meaning that no crystal or ceramic resonator is  
required. However, if required, an external 12MHz crystal can be used as the clock source.  
Integrated EEPROM - Previous generations of FTDI’s USB UART devices required an external EEPROM if the  
device were to use USB Vendor ID (VID), Product ID (PID), serial number and product description strings other than  
the default values in the device itself. This external EEPROM has now been integrated onto the FT232R chip meaning  
that all designs have the option to change the product description strings. A user area of the internal EEPROM is  
available for storing additional data. The internal EEPROM is programmable in circuit, over USB without any additional  
voltage requirement.  
Preprogrammed EEPROM - The FT232R is supplied with its internal EEPROM preprogrammed with a serial number  
which is unique to each individual device. This, in most cases, will remove the need to program the device EEPROM.  
Integrated USB Resistors - Previous generations of FTDI’s USB UART devices required two external series resistors  
on the USBDP and USBDM lines, and a 1.5 kΩ pull up resistor on USBDP. These three resistors have now been  
integrated onto the device.  
Integrated AVCC Filtering - Previous generations of FTDI’s USB UART devices had a separate AVCC pin - the  
supply to the internal PLL. This pin required an external R-C filter. The separate AVCC pin is now connected internally  
to VCC, and the filter has now been integrated onto the chip.  
Less External Components - Integration of the crystal, EEPROM, USB resistors, and AVCC filter will substantially  
reduce the bill of materials cost for USB interface designs using the FT232R compared to its FT232BM predecessor.  
Configurable CBUS I/O Pin Options - There are now 5 configurable Control Bus (CBUS) lines. Options are TXDEN  
- transmit enable for RS485 designs, PWREN# - Power control for high power, bus powered designs, TXLED# - for  
pulsing an LED upon transmission of data, RXLED# - for pulsing an LED upon receiving data, TX&RXLED# - which  
will pulse an LED upon transmission OR reception of data, SLEEP# - indicates that the device going into USB  
suspend mode, CLK48 / CLK24 / CLK12 / CLK6 - 48MHz, 24MHz,12MHz, and 6MHz clock output signal options.  
There is also the option to bring out bit bang mode read and write strobes (see below). The CBUS lines can be  
configured with any one of these output options by setting bits in the internal EEPROM. The device is supplied with  
the most commonly used pin definitions preprogrammed - see Section 8 for details.  
Enhanced Asynchronous Bit Bang Mode with RD# and WR# Strobes - The FT232R supports FTDI’s BM chip  
bit bang mode. In bit bang mode, the eight UART lines can be switched from the regular interface mode to an 8-bit  
general purpose I/O port. Data packets can be sent to the device and they will be sequentially sent to the interface  
at a rate controlled by an internal timer (equivalent to the baud rate prescaler). With the FT232R device this mode  
has been enhanced so that the internal RD# and WR# strobes are now brought out of the device which can be used  
to allow external logic to be clocked by accesses to the bit bang I/O bus. This option will be described more fully in a  
separate application note.  
Synchronous Bit Bang Mode - Synchronous bit bang mode differs from asynchronous bit bang mode in that the  
interface pins are only read when the device is written to. Thus making it easier for the controlling program to measure  
the response to an output stimulus as the data returned is synchronous to the output data. The feature was previously  
seen in FTDI’s FT2232C device. This option will be described more fully in a separate application note.  
CBUS Bit Bang Mode - This mode allows four of the CBUS pins to be individually configured as GPIO pins, similar  
to Asynchronous bit bang mode. It is possible to use this mode while the UART interface is being used, thus providing  
up to four general purpose I/O pins which are available during normal operation. An application note describing this  
feature is available separately from the FTDI website.

Lower Supply Voltage - Previous generations of the chip required 5V supply on the VCC pin. The FT232R will work  
with a Vcc supply in the range 3.3V - 5.25V. Bus powered designs would still take their supply from the 5V on the USB  
bus, but for self powered designs where only 3.3V is available and there is no 5V supply there is no longer any need  
for an additional external regulator.  
Integrated Level Converter on UART Interface and Control Signals - VCCIO pin supply can be from 1.8V to 5V.  
Connecting the VCCIO pin to 1.8V, 2.8V, or 3.3V allows the device to directly interface to 1.8V, 2.8V or 3.3V and other  
logic families without the need for external level converter I.C. devices.  
5V / 3.3V / 2.8V / 1.8V Logic Interface - The FT232R provides true CMOS Drive Outputs and TTL level Inputs.  
Integrated Power-On-Reset (POR) Circuit- The device incorporates an internal POR function. A RESET# pin is  
available in order to allow external logic to reset the FT232R where required. However, for many applications the  
RESET# pin can be left unconnected, or pulled up to VCCIO.  
Lower Operating and Suspend Current - The device operating supply current has been further reduced to 15mA,  
and the suspend current has been reduced to around 70μA. This allows greater margin for peripheral designs to meet  
the USB suspend current limit of 500μA.  
Low USB Bandwidth Consumption - The operation of the USB interface to the FT232R 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 and CBUS I/O pins can be made to drive out at three times the  
standard signal drive level thus allowing multiple devices to be driven, or devices that require a greater signal drive  
strength to be interfaced to the FT232R. This option is enabled in the internal EEPROM.  
Power Management Control for USB Bus Powered, High Current Designs- The PWREN# signal can be used to  
directly drive a transistor or P-Channel MOSFET in applications where power switching of external circuitry is required.  
An option in the internal EEPROM makes the device gently pull down on its UART interface lines when the power  
is shut off (PWREN# is high). In this mode any residual voltage on external circuitry is bled to GND when power is  
removed, thus ensuring that external circuitry controlled by PWREN# resets reliably when power is restored.  
UART Pin Signal Inversion - The sense of each of the eight UART signals can be individually inverted by setting  
options in the internal EEPROM. Thus, CTS# (active low) can be changed to CTS (active high), or TXD can be  
changed to TXD#.  
FTDIChip-ID™ - Each FT232R is assigned a unique number which is burnt into the device at manufacture. This ID  
number cannot be reprogrammed by product manufacturers or end-users. This allows the possibility of using FT232R  
based dongles 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  
describing this feature is available separately from the FTDI website.  
Improved EMI Performance - The reduced operating current and improved on-chip VCC decoupling significantly  
improves the ease of PCB design requirements in order to meet FCC, CE and other EMI related specifications.  
Programmable Receive Buffer Timeout - The receive buffer timeout is used to flush remaining data from the  
receive buffer. This time defaults to 16ms, but is programmable over USB in 1ms increments from 1ms to 255ms, thus  
allowing the device to be optimised for protocols that require fast response times from short data packets.  
Baud Rates - The FT232R supports all standard baud rates and non-standard baud rates from 300 Baud up to 3  
Megabaud. Achievable non-standard baud rates are calculated as follows -  
Baud Rate = 3000000 / (n + x)  
where n can be any integer between 2 and 16,384 ( = 214 ) and x can be a sub-integer of the value 0, 0.125, 0.25,  
0.375, 0.5, 0.625, 0.75, or 0.875. When n = 1, x = 0, i.e. baud rate divisors with values between 1 and 2 are not  
possible.  
This gives achievable baud rates in the range 183.1 baud to 3,000,000 baud. When a non-standard baud rate is  
required simply pass the required baud rate value to the driver as normal, and the FTDI driver will calculate the  
required divisor, and set the baud rate. See FTDI application note AN232B-05 for more details.

Extended Operating Temperature Range - The FT232R operates over an extended temperature range of -40º to  
+85º C thus allowing the device to be used in automotive and industrial applications.  
New Package Options - The FT232R is available in two packages - a compact 28 pin SSOP ( FT232RL) and an  
ultra-compact 5mm x 5mm pinless QFN-32 package ( FT232RQ). Both packages are lead ( Pb ) free, and use a  
‘green’ compound. Both packages are fully compliant with European Union directive 2002/95/EC. The MM232R  
module uses a FT232RQ device in its design.

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.

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.

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).

6. Module Configurations  
6.1 Bus Powered Configuration  
The EVAL232R module is designed to be powered from the 5V supply available on the USB bus powered. VCCIO, the  
supply to the FT232RL’s UART and CBUS IO pins, can be connected to VCC or VCC3O, depending on wheather 5V  
or 3.3V output levels are required on the CBUS.  
A USB Bus Powered device gets its power from the USB bus. Basic rules for USB Bus power devices are as follows –  
i) On plug-in to USB, the device must draw no more than 100mA.  
ii) On USB Suspend the device must draw no more than 500μA.  
iii) A Bus Powered High Power USB Device (one that draws more than 100mA) should use PWREN# to keep the  
current below 100mA on plug-in and 500μA on USB suspend.  
iv) A device that consumes more than 100mA can not be plugged into a USB Bus Powered Hub.  
v) No device can draw more that 500mA from the USB Bus.  
6.2 Self Powered Configuration  
A USB Self Powered device gets its power from its own power supply and does not draw current from the USB bus.  
The EVAL232R is not designed to be used in a USB self powered configuration. However, the FT232R chip can be  
used in such a configuration. See the FT232R datasheet for more details on how to do this.  
6.3 USB Bus Powered with Power Switching Configuration  
USB Bus powered circuits need to be able to power down in USB suspend mode in order to meet the <= 500μA  
total USB suspend current requirement (including external logic). Some external logic can power itself down into a  
low current state by monitoring the PWREN# signal. For external logic that cannot power itself down in this way, the  
FT232R provides a simple but effective way of turning off power to external circuitry during USB suspend.  
This can be done using a discrete P-Channel Logic Level MOSFET to control the power to external logic circuits. A  
suitable device would be an International Rectifier (www.irf.com) IRLML6402, or equivalent. It is recommended that  
a “soft start” circuit consisting of a 1kΩ series resistor and a 0.1μF capacitor are used to limit the current surge when  
the MOSFET turns on. Without the soft start circuit there is a danger that the transient power surge of the MOSFET  
turning on will reset the FT232R, or the USB host / hub controller. The values used here allow attached circuitry to  
power up with a slew rate of ~12.5V per millisecond, in other words the output voltage will transition from GND to 5V in  
approximately 400 microseconds.  
Alternatively, a dedicated power switch I.C. with inbuilt “soft-start” can be used instead of a MOSFET. A suitable power  
switch I.C. for such an application would be a Micrel (www.micrel.com) MIC2025-2BM or equivalent.  
See the FT232R datasheet for more details, and an example schematic for a bus powered design with power  
switching.  
Please note the following points in connection with power controlled designs –  
i) The logic to be controlled must have its own reset circuitry so that it will automatically reset itself when power is re-  
applied on coming out of suspend.  
ii) Set the Pull-down on Suspend option in the internal EEPROM.  
iii) The PWREN# pin should be used to switch the power supply to the external circuitry.  
iv) For USB high-power bus powered device (one that consumes greater than 100mA, and up to 500mA of current  
from the USB bus), the power consumption of the device should be set in the max power field in the internal  
EVAL232R FT232RL USB to RS232 Evaluation Module Datasheet Version 0.90

Page 14  
EEPROM. A high-power bus powered device must use this descriptor in the internal EEPROM to inform the  
system of its power requirements.  
v) For 3.3V power controlled circuits the VCCIO pin must not be powered down with the external circuitry (the  
PWREN# signal gets its VCC supply from VCCIO). Either connect the power switch between the output of the  
3.3V regulator and the external 3.3V logic or power VCCIO from the 3V3OUT pin of the FT232R.  
6.4 LED Interface  
The FT232RL’s CBUS0 and CBUS1 pins on the EVAL232R are configured to drive LED’s.  
CBUS0 is used to indicate reception of data (RXLED#) and CBUS1 is used to indicate transmission of data (TXLED#).  
When data is being transmitted or received the respective CBUS pin will drive from tri-state to low in order to provide  
indication on the LEDs of data transfer. A digital one-shot time is used so that even a small percentage of data transfer  
is visible to the end user.  
The FT232R CBUS pins have 3 configurable options for driving an LED - these are TXLED#, RXLED#, and  
TX&RXLED#.

7. Module Circuit Schematic  
Figure 5 shows the EVAL232R circuit schematic. For the EVAL232R the FT232RL has been used to make a USB to  
RS232 converter. A TTL – RS232 Level Converter I.C. is used on the serial UART of the FT232RL to make the RS232  
level conversion. This, for example can be done using the popular “213” series of TTL to RS232 level converters.  
These devices have 4 transmitters and 5 receivers in a 28-LD SSOP package and feature an in-built voltage converter  
to convert the 5V (nominal) VCC to the +/- 9 volts required by RS232. An important feature of these devices is the SD  
pin which can power down the device to a low quiescent current during USB suspend mode.  
The RS232 level converter device used on the EVAL232R is a Zywyn ZT213LFEA which is capable of RS232  
communication at up to 1Megabaud baud.  
In the EVAL232R CBUS0 and CBUS1 have been configured as TXLED# and RXLED#, and are being used to drive  
two LEDs which indicate transmission and reception of data.
