FT2232H-56Q-REEL
Overview
The FT2232H-56Q-REEL is a high-speed USB 2.0 to dual-channel multipurpose UART/FIFO IC. It utilizes the FTDI Multi-Protocol Synchronous Serial Engine (MPSSE) to simplify synchronous serial protocol designs like SPI, I2C, and JTAG at speeds up to 30Mbps per channel.
Why Choose This Part
This 56-pin VQFN variant provides a compact 8x8mm footprint for space-constrained designs while maintaining dual-channel flexibility. It supports 5V tolerant I/O and features an integrated 1.8V LDO regulator, reducing the total bill of materials for 3.3V systems.
