FTDI Chip FT232H Development Board UM232H

The UM232H is a USB-to-serial/FIFO development module in the FTDI product range which utilises the FT232H USB Hi-Speed (480Mb/s) single-port bridge chip to handle the USB signaling and protocols. The UM232H is ideal for development purposes to quickly prove functionality of adding USB to a target design. The UM232H is a module designed to plug into a standard 0.6in wide 28-pin DIP socket. The USB connection to a host system is via a mini-B USB connector.

USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mbits/s) and Full Speed (12Mbits/s) compatible
Entire USB protocol handled on the chip – No USB-specific firmware programming required
Small USB Type B connector common on many commercial devices
USB bus or self-powered options
Asynchronous UART transfer data rate up to 12Mbaud
UART interface support for 7 or 8 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits and odd / even / mark / space / no parity
Fully assisted hardware or X-On / X-Off software handshaking
Auto-transmit buffer control for RS-485 applications
Supports a half duplex FT1248 interface with a bi-directional data bus (1, 2, 4 or 8 bits wide)
Synchronous Serial (MPSSE) data rates of up to 30Mbps on JTAG, SPI and I²C
Support for USB suspend and resume
UHCI / OHCI / EHCI host controller compatible
FTDI’s royalty-free VCP and D2XX drivers eliminate the requirement for USB driver development in most cases
+2.97 to +5.25V single-supply operation

The FTDI UM232H is a single channel USB-to-serial/FIFO development module. It is based on the FT232H single channel USB UART/FICO device. The UM232H development module is the perfect tool for adding USB functionality to your project.

How does it connect?
The UM232H plugs straight into a 0.6inch wide, DIP-28 socket. It connects to the host via the on-board mini USB socket.

What is it used for?
The UM232H is ideal for integrating USB into an existing design. Example applications include; smart card readers, wireless modems, bar code readers and medical applications.
