FT232RQ-REEL

FTDI · USB Converters · QFN-32-EP(5x5)

FT232RQ-REEL from FTDI, in a QFN-32-EP(5x5). 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 VCCIO power_in +1.8 V to +5.25 V supply for the UART interface and CBUS group pins. Tie to 3V3OUT for 3.3 V I/O or to VCC for +5 V CMOS I/O; may also be supplied from an external +1.8 V to +2.8 V rail sourced from the same supply as VCC.
2 RXD input Receiving asynchronous data input.
3 RI# input Ring Indicator control input. When remote wake-up is enabled in EEPROM, driving RI# low (20 ms active-low pulse) resumes the USB host from suspend.
4 GND power_in Device digital ground supply pin.
5 NC unconnected No internal connection. Do not connect.
6 DSR# input Data Set Ready control input / handshake signal.
7 DCD# input Data Carrier Detect control input.
8 CTS# input Clear To Send control input / handshake signal.
9 CBUS4 output Configurable CBUS output-only pin. EEPROM-configurable; factory default is SLEEP#. Available options include TXDEN, PWREN#, TXLED#, RXLED#, TX&RXLED#, SLEEP#, CLK48/24/12/6.
10 CBUS2 bidirectional Configurable CBUS I/O pin. EEPROM-configurable; factory default is TXDEN. Options include TXDEN, PWREN#, TXLED#, RXLED#, TX&RXLED#, SLEEP#, CLKx, CBitBangI/O, BitBangWRn, BitBangRDn.
11 CBUS3 bidirectional Configurable CBUS I/O pin. EEPROM-configurable; factory default is PWREN# (requires 10 kΩ pull-up to VCCIO).
12 NC unconnected No internal connection. Do not connect.
13 NC unconnected No internal connection. Do not connect.
14 USBDP bidirectional USB D+ data signal. Incorporates internal series resistor and 1.5 kΩ pull-up to +3.3 V for Full-Speed identification.
15 USBDM bidirectional USB D- data signal. Incorporates internal series resistor.
16 3V3OUT power_out +3.3 V output from the integrated LDO regulator; decouple to ground with a 100 nF capacitor. Supplies the internal USB transceiver and USBDP pull-up; up to 50 mA available for external logic and may also feed VCCIO.
17 GND power_in Device digital ground supply pin.
18 RESET# input Active-low reset input. Can be driven by an external device to reset the FT232R; leave unconnected or pull up to VCC if unused.
19 VCC power_in +3.3 V to +5.25 V supply to the device core. Minimum operating voltage is +4.0 V when using the internal clock generator; +3.3 V operation is possible when driven by an external crystal oscillator.
20 GND power_in Device digital ground supply pin.
21 CBUS1 bidirectional Configurable CBUS I/O pin. EEPROM-configurable; factory default is RXLED#.
22 CBUS0 bidirectional Configurable CBUS I/O pin. EEPROM-configurable; factory default is TXLED#.
23 NC unconnected No internal connection. Do not connect.
24 AGND power_in Device analogue ground supply for the internal clock multiplier.
25 NC unconnected No internal connection. Do not connect.
26 TEST input IC test-mode enable. Must be tied to GND for normal operation, otherwise the device will appear to fail.
27 OSCI input 12 MHz oscillator cell input. Optional; leave unconnected for normal operation with the internal oscillator. Used with an external crystal, ceramic resonator, or oscillator.
28 OSCO output 12 MHz oscillator cell output. Optional; leave unconnected for normal operation with the internal oscillator.
29 NC unconnected No internal connection. Do not connect.
30 TXD output Transmit asynchronous data output.
31 DTR# output Data Terminal Ready control output / handshake signal.
32 RTS# output Request To Send control output / handshake signal.
