HI ALL
I have a question for nano schematic.
There's a capacitance series connect on FT232RL Pin 2(DTR#)
i don't understand the use of that capacitor , in the link there's a Sign for C4 is what i'm asking for .
why need to connect capacitor instead of connecting directly?
thanks all . :o
Because the reset needs only a pulse to begin the reset, not a level for an extended period of time.

C4 is in series between the reset switch and the 232RL DTR# pin.
This is so when the reset is pushed a "short" pulse goes the the DTR#.
The DTR# pin has to be left open circuit when the IC is being used, but needs a pulse to do its own reset/load process.
C4 prevents any DC, 0V or 5V from being externally applied to DTR#.
Hope that's right.. Tom.. 
PS. I really hate "SearchAWord" schematics.
