FTDI Chip TTL-232RG-VREG1V8-WE, 1.8 TTL Wire End USB to UART Cable,

The FTDI Chip TTL‑232RG‑VREG1V8‑WE is a USB‑to‑UART conversion cable that supports TTL signalling at a reference voltage of +1.8 V, making it ideal for low‑voltage embedded systems. The internal electronics are based on the FT232R USB‑to‑serial interface IC, housed within the USB Type‑A connector, while the opposite end terminates in six colour‑coded wires (TXD, RXD, RTS, CTS, VCC, GND). The cable is 1.8 m long and supports data rates up to 3 Mbaud over USB full‑speed (12 Mbps), facilitating seamless integration into microcontroller, FPGA or SoC platforms operating at 1.8 V logic.

Standout Features and Benefits of Choosing the FTDI Chip 1.8 TTL Wire End USB to UART Cable

• Supports TTL logic levels at +1.8 V for compatibility with low‑voltage digital systems.
• Data rate capability up to 3 Mbaud ensures efficient serial communication.
• 1.8 m length provides flexibility in lab use or embedded system development.
• Wire‑ended output simplifies direct connection to boards, test fixtures or prototypes.
• FT232R driver support (VCP and D2XX) ensures broad OS compatibility and virtual COM port integration.
• USB‑powered cable (no external adapter) with up to +100 mA output on VCC to power logic circuits.

Designed for Embedded Development and Prototyping

This cable is purpose‑built for engineers working with modern 1.8 V platforms, such as ultra‑low‑power microcontrollers, IoT modules and battery‑powered devices. The embedded FT232R multiplexes serial data while simplifying design by eliminating isolation components or breakout modules. The wire‑ended interface permits rapid testing and connection to custom headers without bulky connectors.

Application Potential of the Cable Assembly

• USB‑to‑UART bridge for programming or debugging 1.8 V embedded boards.
• Test fixture interface wire for automated board‑testing systems in manufacturing.
• Serial communication link for IoT or wearable prototypes.
• Firmware upload and logging of 1.8 V sensor modules or FPGA soft‑processors.
• Replacement cable for development benches.
