UMFT231XC-01

The UMFT231XC-01 is a USB to UART development module with battery charging support. This development module designed primarily for evaluating the battery charging feature of X-Chip range of USB interface bridging ICs. This module is suitable for charging single cell lithium ion batteries. The UMFT231XC-01 utilises an FT231XS and a battery charging IC. FT231XS is USB interface bridging IC device. It is a USB to UART interface with a battery charger detection feature, which can allow batteries to be charged with a higher current from a dedicated charger port. The module includes a LTC4053EDD, which is a lithium ion battery charger with thermal regulation. The X-Chips are designed to operate with battery charger chips, such as the LTC4053EDD, to facilitate charging a battery of a device via USB slave port, with either 1A of current from a dedicated charger port or with up to 500mA from a USB host without violating USB compliance regulations.
