Wide System Compatibility

Works seamlessly with a wide range of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and Mac OS, making it a versatile solution for diverse users.


LED Indicators for Easy Monitoring

Three LEDs (TXD, RXD, and PWM) help you easily monitor data transmission and power status, ensuring smooth operation and minimizing troubleshooting time.


WARRANTY


We offer a 1-year warranty and lifetime technical support for this USB-to-TTL adapter。If you meet any question, Please contact us, We will fix your issue within 24 hours.

Important Notes


This product uses FTDI FT232RL chip by default, because of the chip out of stock, some production batches use FTDI FT232RNL model chip . Please do not worry, FT232RNL is also the chip produced by FTDI, can completely replace FT232RL. If you still care about these please contact us.


How to Use

In the case of working with a MCU:


Connection Details
VCCIO ↔ 3.3V or 5V output The module is powered from USB, and the onboard jumper should be shorted to 3.3V or 5V.
GND ↔ GND Connect GND from the module to the GND of the MCU or PC.
TXD ↔ MCU.RX Signal direction: MCU.RX << FT232 << PC.TX
RXD ↔ MCU.TX Signal direction: MCU.TX >> FT232 >> PC.RX
RTS ↔ MCU.CTS Signal direction: MCU.CTS << FT232 << PC.RTS
CTS ↔ MCU.RTS Signal direction: MCU.RTS >> FT232 >> PC.CTS
