ICs, Modules and Cables - USB Bridging Solutions from FTDI Chip FTDI Chip develops innovative silicon solutions that enhance interaction with today’s technology. When a designer needs to add a USB port, rest assured that FTDI Chip has a full range of USB solutions to get the job done. Universal Serial Bus (USB) is now established as the de-facto interface for connecting systems with a reliable, low-cost digital link. USB has expanded beyond PC usage, and can now be found in all market segments, including Industrial, Medical, Consumer, Communications, Networking and many more. Enabling designers to implement USB quickly into a design, 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, I 2C, SPI, PWM and GPIO, where the bridge converts the signalling and protocol from the selected interface to USB. USB solutions are delivered in packages as small as 10 pin DFN (3x3mm) or as modules that can be inserted into boards for development and production or in cables that bridge USB to numerous interfaces.

Whenever your development or product needs USB, check out FTDI Chip for complete solutions that can shorten your design time whilst providing robust system implementations, and realise how we make design easy. For a full brochure on our USB designs USB Device Solutions With over 30 USB peripheral chips offered in 5 product families, designers can choose the device which best matches their system need. FTDI Chip devices are aimed at full, high, and super speed solutions. SuperSpeed USB3.0 USB Bridge Devices FT60x Series: Enabling faster and higher volume data transfers than ever before, the FT60x is the first SuperSpeed USB3.0 series from FTDI Chip that offers USB access to a wider range of data intensive imaging and data acquisition applications.
The series incorporates two devices - the FT600 and FT601, which function as SuperSpeed USB3.0 to FIFO bridges, providing up to 5Gbps of bandwidth. The FT600 comes in a 56-pin QFN package and has a 16-bit wide FIFO bus interface, while the FT601 is provided in a 76-pin package and has a 32-bit wide FIFO bus interface. Both chips support up to 8 endpoints, with 2 additional communication endpoints, allowing for up to 4 data IN and 4 data OUT channels to be created with double buffering of up to 4kByte length for IN and 4kByte for OUT. FTDI Chip SuperSpeed Devices:. 56-pin QFN package and has a 16-bit wide FIFO bus interface. provided in a 76-pin package and has a 32-bit wide FIFO bus interface Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Bridge Devices H Series: fast, flexible, multi-channel USB bridges. In addition to data rates these devices offer (up to 40Mbytes/s) when compared to full speed solutions, the Hi-Speed series also offer a range of multi-channel interfacing; The benefits of a multi-channel bridge is that the system BOM is reduced by taking away the need for a USB hub chip.
Additionally, each channel of the device appears to the host PC as a separate device, enabling each channel to be independently configured for different modes e.g. UART, MPSSE or FIFO and with different parameters such as 4 UARTS all operating with different baud rates.
