Overview
These are FTDI TTL-232RG USB-to-serial converter cables fitted with a 6-pin TC2030 Tag-Connector. The cable plugs straight onto the TC2030 footprint on your board, so no mating connector is fitted to the PCB, saving cost and space.
Pick the version that matches your target's logic and supply. The VREG1V8 version has 1.8 V UART signals and supplies 1.8 V at up to 100 mA. VREG3V3 has 3.3 V signals and supplies 3.3 V at up to 250 mA. VSW3V3 has 3.3 V signals with 50 mA available on VCC, and VSW5V has 5 V signals with up to 450 mA on VCC. All run at up to 3 Mbps and are nominally 1.8 m (5.9 ft) long.
Legged versions clip into the board for hands-free use; no-legs (NL) versions use a smaller footprint. For 12 Mbaud UART operation on Hi-Speed USB, see the TC2030-CIC-FT232H Chip-in-Connector.

Questions and Answers
-
Which Version Matches My Target?
Match the UART signal level to your target's I/O: VREG1V8 for 1.8 V, VREG3V3 or VSW3V3 for 3.3 V, and VSW5V for 5 V. Then check the VCC current: 100 mA on VREG1V8, 250 mA on VREG3V3, 50 mA on VSW3V3 and 450 mA on VSW5V.
-
What Data Rate Do These Cables Support?
Up to 3 Mbps. For up to 12 Mbaud, see the TC2030-CIC-FT232H Chip-in-Connector.
-
Is There a No-Legs 1.8 V Version?
Yes. TC2030-NL-FTDI-TTL-232RG-VREG1V8 pairs the 1.8 V cable with the no-legs TC2030-NL connector. Pick No Legs (NL) and TTL-232RG-VREG1V8 in the options above.
-
How Long Is the Cable?
Nominally 1.8 m (5.9 ft).
