FT232HL-REEL from FTDI, in a LQFP-48(7x7). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet by ds2sf; symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | OSCI | input | Oscillator input. Connect the 12 MHz crystal reference across OSCI/OSCO (with load caps), or drive from an external clock source. |
| 2 | OSCO | output | Oscillator output for the 12 MHz crystal. Connect to the far side of the crystal with its load capacitor to GND; leave floating when using an external clock on OSCI. |
| 3 | VPHY | power_in | +3.3V input, internal USB PHY supply. Must NOT be connected directly to the USB VBUS supply; use a 3.3V regulator and filter with an LC filter (see section 6.1). |
| 4 | AGND | power_in | 0V analog ground. Tie all AGND pins to the board ground plane. |
| 5 | REF | passive | Analog current reference. Connect a 12KΩ 1% resistor from this pin to GND to set the internal bias current. |
| 6 | DM | bidirectional | USB 2.0 differential data signal minus (D-). Connect to the USB connector D- through the recommended series/EMI network. |
| 7 | DP | bidirectional | USB 2.0 differential data signal plus (D+). Connect to the USB connector D+ through the recommended series/EMI network. |
| 8 | VPLL | power_in | +3.3V input, internal PLL supply. Recommended to be filtered with an LC filter from the same 3.3V rail as VPHY (see section 6.1). |
| 9 | AGND | power_in | 0V analog ground. |
| 10 | GND | power_in | 0V digital ground. |
| 11 | GND | power_in | 0V digital ground. |

| 13 | ADBUS0 | bidirectional | Bus A bit 0. Default UART: TXD (async serial transmit). Reconfigurable to D0 (FT245 sync/async FIFO, bit-bang, CPU FIFO), TCK/SK (MPSSE JTAG/SPI clock), FSDI (fast serial data in) or MIOSI0 (FT1248). |

| 19 | ADBUS6 | bidirectional | Bus A bit 6. Default UART: DCD# (data-carrier-detect input, active low). Reconfigurable to D6, GPIOL2 (MPSSE), TriSt-UP or MIOSI6 (FT1248). |
| 20 | ADBUS7 | bidirectional | Bus A bit 7. Default UART: RI# (ring indicator input, active low). Taking RI# low can wake the PC USB host from suspend when remote wake-up is enabled in EEPROM. Reconfigurable to D7, GPIOL3 (MPSSE) or MIOSI7 (FT1248). |
| 21 | ACBUS0 | bidirectional | Configurable ACBUS I/O pin. Default TXDEN (RS485 driver enable) when EEPROM sets that option, otherwise TriState with 75KΩ pull-up to VCCIO. EEPROM-selectable to PWREN#, TXLED#, RXLED#, TX&RXLED#, SLEEP#, CLK30/15/7.5, DRIVE0/1 (see Table 3.5). |
| 22 | GND | power_in | 0V digital ground. |
| 23 | GND | power_in | 0V digital ground. |
| 24 | VCCIO | power_in | +3.3V I/O interface power supply input. Sets output level for the ADBUS/ACBUS pins on this side of the die. |
| 25 | ACBUS1 | bidirectional | Configurable ACBUS I/O pin. Default tri-state input with 75KΩ pull-up to VCCIO; commonly used for TXE#, WRSTB#, GPIOH1, A0 (CPU FIFO) or SS_n (FT1248). EEPROM-selectable to any ACBUS signal in Table 3.5. |

| 36 | GND | power_in | 0V digital ground. |
| 37 | VCCA | power_out | +1.8V LDO output for the analog core. Do not use as a supply for external circuitry; terminate with a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| 38 | VCCCORE | power_out | +1.8V LDO output for the digital core. Do not use as a supply for external circuitry; terminate with a 0.1uF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| 39 | VCCD | bidirectional | +3.3V output OR input. If VREGIN (pin 40) is driven at +5.0V, VCCD becomes an LDO OUTPUT (~3.3V, decouple with 0.1uF/4.7uF). If VREGIN is driven at +3.3V, VCCD becomes an INPUT that must be tied to the 3.3V rail. |
| 40 | VREGIN | power_in | +5.0V or +3.3V power supply input to the internal LDO. Feed from the USB VBUS (via a bulk cap) in bus-powered designs, or from a regulated 3.3V rail in self-powered designs. |
| 41 | AGND | power_in | 0V analog ground. |
| 42 | TEST | input | IC test pin. Must be tied to GND for normal operation; leaving it floating puts the FT232H into a factory test mode. |
| 43 | EEDATA | bidirectional | Serial data to/from the external 93C46/93C56/93C66 EEPROM. Connect directly to the EEPROM DI pin AND to DO through a 2.2KΩ series resistor; also pull DO up to VCCD with 10KΩ. Tri-stated during device reset. |
| 44 | EECLK | output | Clock output to the external EEPROM (SK pin). Tri-stated during device reset; drives the EEPROM SPI clock otherwise. |
| 45 | EECS | bidirectional | EEPROM chip-select output (SPI CS). Tri-stated during device reset. If no EEPROM is fitted the FT232H uses its default USB descriptors. |
| 46 | VCCIO | power_in | +3.3V I/O interface power supply input. Decouple with 0.1uF to GND. |
| 47 | GND | power_in | 0V digital ground. |
| 48 | GND | power_in | 0V digital ground. |
