Questions

Is there a KiCad symbol and footprint for the FT232RL?

Yes. The symbol is Analog & Interface:FT232RL and the footprint Package_SO:SSOP-28_5.3x10.2mm_P0.65mm, both drawn on this page. PCBKit places them on a board for you when you design with it.

What package is the FT232RL?

SSOP-28-208mil, with 28 pins. Its footprint is drawn on this page.

Where is the FT232RL datasheet?

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

Where can I order the FT232RL?

JLCPCB lists it as part C490691, with 0 in stock; the sellers' links on this page open their listings.

What can replace the FT232RL?

Parts like it in the library: the GL850G-HHY22 by GENESYS, the FT232RNL-REEL by FTDI, the GL850G-HHY60 by Genesys Logic and the GL852G-HHY12 by Genesys Logic. Check their datasheets: a part that fits the footprint may still differ in its ratings.

Which open-source boards use the FT232RL?

345 boards in 304 repositories on GitHub; the most starred are listed on this page, with their KiCad files.
