FTDI Chip provides total solutions including silicon chips, development tools, application notes and software support.
USB Peripheral Solutions from FTDI Chip
FTDI Chip provides total solutions including silicon chips, development tools, application notes and software support. Expertise in USB bridges provides seamless integration for a variety of interfaces such as UART, FIFO, I2C, SPI, PWM and GPIO, where the bridge converts the signaling and protocol from the selected interface to USB. USB solutions are delivered in packages as small as 10 pin DFN (3x3mm); in modules that can be inserted into boards for development and production; or in cables that bridge USB to numerous interfaces.
USB Host Solutions from FTDI Chip
FTDI Chip is expanding its USB host solutions with a focus on: Android Open Accessories Initiative, add-on USB host capability for USB2.0 Hi-Speed, and continued support for system level solutions that include USB technology (16 bit micro-controller, USB host, and USB device capabilities). Integrated circuits that provide USB host ports in a system solution are provided in the Vinculum family of devices. The Vinculum-II (VNC2) provides ample hardware support including 16 bit microcontroller, USB host and device capabilities, embedded flash memory, and extensive interface options. In addition, the VNC2 has an extensive suite of application ROM design files, and a toolchain for developing application specific designs.
Display Controller Solutions from FTDI Chip
FTDI Chip’s FT800 series of chips and modules combines display, audio and touch into a single chip, providing an optimized solutions that reduces board area, power, and BOM costs, while providing a high quality graphic solution that outputs to 1/16th pixel resolution for QVGA / WQVGA TFT display panels. With its revolutionary EVE (Embedded Vide Engine) technology, an object oriented methodology is deployed from display development through to graphic rendering. This unique approach eliminates the need for traditional frame buffer memory and requires minimal bandwidth from the system host.
Tools and support from FTDI Chip
In addition to silicon chips, FTDI Chip provides a wide range of support including application notes, detailed datasheets, development hardware and software, as well as world-wide network of customer support engineers to address technical items and concerns. FTDI Chip solutions are supported by industry certified software drivers (WHQL/Microsoft certified) for Windows, with support for Linux, MAC OS, and Android. All product drivers and software, including updates, are provided free of charge.
