FT231X USB to serial UART with integrated current limited USB power switch.

It also allows you to switch on and off power to a USB powered device. This is super useful if you are debugging the serial output of a device during hard reset conditions and wish to automate the reset process, even more so if the device you are trying to monitor is connected to a remote computer.

• USB to UART
• USB power output switched by FT231X CBUS0 pin
• Active low, over current status readable by FT231X CBUS3 pin (500 mA)
• Solder jumper to default USB power to on or off
• USB data lines are connected to the FT231X, they are NOT passed through to the power switchable USB Type A port.
