About FTDI
FTDI Chip specialises in the design and delivery of advanced silicon and software solutions. The company focuses on providing engineers with feature rich, easy to use, robust products that will reduce development time to market and reduce development costs. Widely recognised for its broad portfolio of Universal Serial Bus (USB) products, FTDI Chip can offer a simple route to USB migration by combining easy to implement ICs with proven, ready to use, royalty free firmware and driver software. It has everything from simple bridge devices for converting USB from RS232, RS422, RS485, I2C, SPI, etc, to highly integrated system solutions with built in microcontrollers and sophisticated development platforms.
The product portfolio covers full, high and superspeed USB solutions with options for bridging to one , two or four channels from a single USB port. These solutions are available as silicon for PCB development, modules for aiding solution test and development or in cable formats ideally suited for lab work or the maker market.

 FT231XThe FT231X is the next generation full speed USB to UART device building on the success of the best selling FT232RL. This solution builds on the success of the FT232R by improving power consumption to 8mA, down from 24mA, adding battery charge detection, making the device more suitable for battery operated solutions and reducing the pin count which helps conserve PCB space (FT231XS - 20 pin SSOP / FT232RL 28 pin SSOP). |  FT2232H-56High speed USB bridge offerings from FTDI come in a variety of options. In addition to the obvious speed enhancement compared to full speed (480Mbps v 12Mbps) the dual (FT2232H-56) option enable two independent channels to be designed in without a discrete USB hub chip. The multiple channel devices are proving very popular with FPGA development, with one channel providing the firmware update/debug interface whilst the other channel supports the main application. Other popular applications include ATE where multiple UART channels are required. | |
