FTDI FT230X USB to UART Serial Adapter Dongle Compatible with FT232R USB Adapter

Every electronics maker is familiar with USB-to-UART bridge device because almost every project that employs UART interface will use such device for either signal communication, command line, data logging, or debugging. Like other USB-to-UART devices, the FT230XS adaptor supports the 4 common UART I/Os (Tx/Rx/RTS/CTS) and a jumper option to select either 5v or 3.3v I/O operating voltage. But what set apart of this adaptor from others is its low power consumption. The FT230XS adaptor is powered by the FT-X low power series of USB-to-UART silicon from FTDI. The normal operating current consumption for this chip is merely 8mA which is half of the consumption of the commonly found FT232RL device in the market place. If your project concerns with the drain of every bit of energy, this is the genuine FTDI USB-to-UART bridge adaptor you are looking for.
