UMFT234XD Breakout
Modules
UMFT234XD is a USB to UART breakout module
1 Introduction
The UMFT234XD breakout module utilizes FTDI’s FT234XD IC to convert USB to UART.
1.1 Features
The UMFT234XD is a breakout board that converts USB2.0 Full-Speed to UART. These modules do not have a
USB connector, instead, the modules plug directly into the USB host connector and the pads of the PCB
makes electrical contact with the electrical contacts of the USB connector.
The UART interface operates at +3.3V voltage levels, however all I/Os are 5V tolerant.
