Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the FT230XS-R?

Yes. The symbol is Interface_USB:FT230XS and the footprint Package_SO:SSOP-16_3.9x4.9mm_P0.635mm, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the FT230XS-R?

SSOP-16-150mil, with 16 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the FT230XS-R datasheet?

FTDI publishes it: the Datasheet link on this page opens it.

Where can I order the FT230XS-R?

JLCPCB lists it as part C69082, with 0 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the FT230XS-R?

Parts like it in the library: the GL823K-HCY04 by Genesys Logic, the FT230XS-U by FTDI, the FT220XS-R by FTDI and the FT201XS-R by FTDI. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.

Which open-source boards use the FT230XS-R?
