The FT234XD-T is a USB to basic UART IC component developed by FTDI Chip. Here is an overview of its key features:
1. USB Connectivity: The FT234XD-T provides USB connectivity with an integrated USB 2.0 full-speed transceiver. This allows easy interfacing with a wide range of USB host devices, such as PCs, laptops, and embedded systems.
2. UART Interface: It features a basic UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) interface, offering a simple means of communication between devices. The UART interface supports various data formats, such as 7 or 8 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits, and adjustable baud rates.
3. USB Battery Charger Detection (BCD): The IC incorporates USB Battery Charger Detection for applications requiring charging capabilities. It automatically detects the type of USB host or dedicated charger and adjusts the charging behavior accordingly.
4. Integrated EEPROM: The FT234XD-T includes an integrated EEPROM memory, allowing device-specific customization, configuration, and storage of vital information. This makes it easier to maintain settings, such as USB descriptors, product strings, and vendor identification.
5. Bit Bang Mode: The IC supports a Bit Bang mode that enables non-standard protocols, including I2C and SPI, by using the UART interface pins in different ways. This flexibility allows the FT234XD-T to adapt to various application requirements
