Product Summary

The FT232BQ is a FTDI’s popular USB UART I.C. This device not only adds extra functionality to its predecessor and reduces external component count, but also maintains a high degree of pin compatibility with the original, making the FT232BQ easy to upgrade or cost reduce existing designs as well as increasing the potential for using the device in new application areas.
