The maximum cable length supported by the FT232HPQ-REEL is approximately 3 meters (10 feet) for a full-speed USB device, and 1.5 meters (5 feet) for a low-speed USB device, assuming a good quality cable with proper shielding and termination.
Yes, the FT232HPQ-REEL is backward compatible with USB 3.0 systems, but it will only operate at USB 2.0 speeds (up to 480 Mbps). It is not a USB 3.0 device and will not take advantage of the higher speeds offered by USB 3.0.
The FT232HPQ-REEL has an internal voltage regulator that can be configured to output 3.3V or 2.8V by connecting the VCCIO pin to either VCC (for 3.3V) or VCC/2 (for 2.8V). This is done by adding an external resistor divider network to the VCCIO pin.
The power consumption of the FT232HPQ-REEL depends on the operating mode and the voltage supply. In typical operating conditions, the power consumption is around 50-70 mA at 3.3V, and 30-50 mA at 2.8V.
Yes, the FT232HPQ-REEL is designed to support hot-swapping, but it requires proper circuit design and layout to ensure reliable operation. The device must be powered down before being disconnected, and the USB bus must be suspended before the device is removed.
