Future adds modules to support USB 2.0 devices

The module PCB measures 36 x 30 x 12mm and each module provides access to all the required signals through two 26-way (two rows, 0.1in pitch) male headers measuring 32.9 x 5.08mm.

The pin length is 6mm.

The FT2232H mini module provides two independent configurable interfaces, while the FT4232H mini module offers four such channels.

Aimed at system developers, the modules provide a method of integrating a USB 2.0 high-speed interface to a number of asynchronous serial interfaces (UART, JTAG, I2C, SPI or customised serial interfaces) or parallel (FIFO) ports.

Using a dual (FT2232H) or quad (FT4232H) device, the modules offer the ability to evaluate, model or prototype systems that require USB 2.0 high-speed connectivity, while implementing the complete USB 2.0 protocol with no additional firmware required.

Each module is implemented with an integrated FTDI USB 2.0 high-speed device, which includes a +1.8V LDO regulator, an integrated power-on-reset (POR) function, and an on-chip clock multiplier PLL (12 MHz to 480 MHz).

A USB mini-B-type connector (socket) on the PCB provides USB connectivity.

Drivers for the modules are the same as those used for the FT4232H and FT2232H.
