FTDI-FT232BL- USB 2.0 Slave to UART Converter IC (FT232R version recommended for new designs)

The FT232BL is a USB 2.0 slave to UART converter IC manufactured by FTDI (Future Technology Devices International). It is designed to provide a simple and easy way to connect a UART-based device to a USB port on a computer or other USB host.

One of the key features of the FT232BL is its flexibility. It supports a wide range of UART interface options, including 7 or 8 data bits, 1 or 2 stop bits, and even odd, even, or no parity. It also supports a variety of baud rates, from 300bps to 3Mbps, and can even be programmed to use custom baud rates if necessary.

The FT232BL is available in a compact 32-pin SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package) package, making it ideal for use in space-constrained applications. It is also designed to be easy to integrate into a wide range of systems, with support for both 3.3V and 5V logic levels.
