C232HD
Description
The USB 2.0 Hi-Speed to UART cable incorporates FTDI’s FT232H USB to UART interface IC device which handles all the USB signalling and protocols. The cable provides a fast, simple way to connect devices with 3.3 volt digital interfaces to USB.
Key Features
- and enhancement descriptions please refer to the FT232H datasheet
- The cables digital interface logic is 3.3 volts
- The USB side of the cable is USB powered and is USB 2.0 Hi-Speed compatible
- The cable is 1.8m long and supports a data transfer rate up to 12 Mbaud
- The C232HD UART cable requires USB drivers, available free from http://.ftdichip
- which are used to make the FT232H in the cable appear as a virtual port (VCP)
- This then allows the user to municate with the USB interface via a standard PC serial emulation port (for example TTY)
- Another FTDI USB driver, the D2XX, is used with application software to directly access the FT232H on the cable though a DLL
- This is illustrated in the Figure 1-1
- Part Number C232HD-DDHSP-0
