What is FTDI USB

Hell friends welcome to new tutorial. Here we will learn FTDI USB. It is a semiconductor module that is a Scottish company product that has a specialty in USB devices. The full form of FDTI is future technology devices international. THat Scottish company design makes and supports components that are used to the conversion of TTL signal to USB supported signals.

This company also supported the ASIC design features and helps customers to design based products. In this post we will discuss FTDI USB features working and some other parameters. So let get started.

This module is used for STTL conversion that permits the easiest way to link TTLsupported modules to USB.
Its pinouts of inputs and outputs are designed to operate on five volts

This module is assembled over the FT232RQ that is positioned in the USB connector points
Its main pinout that performs different functions are RTS, RX, TX, 5V, CTS, GND
It is supported to the different Arduino boards such as Pro, Pro Mini, and lilypad
As a comparison to FDTI cable there is LED exist on the FDTI board and need a mini B wire
Due to its large size, FDTI can not be easily used in the projects
In the FDTI basic there is the use of DTR for resetting the hardware and FDTI cable uses RTS signal for that purpose
