FT245RNQ-REEL
Overview
The FT245RNQ-REEL is a USB to parallel FIFO interface IC designed to simplify the implementation of USB connectivity in embedded systems. It handles the entire USB protocol on-chip, requiring no USB-specific firmware programming, and presents data to the system MCU via a simple 8-bit wide bidirectional data bus.
Why Choose This Part
This IC integrates an internal oscillator and EEPROM, eliminating the need for an external crystal and reducing BOM count. It provides a straightforward 128-byte receive buffer and 384-byte transmit buffer to smooth out data throughput, while operating over a wide temperature range of -40C to 85C.
Applications
Getting Started
Engineers can begin development using the UM245R evaluation module or by downloading the Royalty-Free D2XX drivers from FTDI. The device is configured via the FT_PROG utility to set internal EEPROM parameters such as VID, PID, and power descriptors.
