2 open source boards using the FT245RL
Real designs built with the FT245RL, from public GitHub projects: a quick way to see how others power, decouple and connect it. Each board comes with its KiCad files, full parts list and a render — and you can simulate its firmware on HardLabs.

Microcontrollers on boards using the FT245RL
FT245RL: common questions
Where can I find a FT245RL reference design?
Each of the 2 boards on this page is a real design using the FT245RL. Open one to see how it is wired up, with the full BOM, a render of the layout and links to its KiCad files.
Which microcontrollers do boards using the FT245RL use?
Most are built on PIC (1).
How big is a typical board using the FT245RL?
The median is 69.9 × 84.6 mm, and 100% are two-layer designs.
What is the most popular open source board using the FT245RL?
By GitHub stars, Pican usb by marcinbor85, with 4 stars.
Can I simulate one of these boards using the FT245RL before building it?
Yes. HardLabs turns a board's netlist and BOM into a working simulation, so you can boot and test firmware against it with no hardware on your desk.
