UMFT260EV1A
Overview
The UMFT260EV1A is a development module for the FT260, a HID-class USB 2.0 to I2C/UART bridge controller. It is designed as a small 24-pin DIP module that plugs directly into a standard breadboard or socket to provide USB connectivity for embedded systems. Since it utilizes standard HID drivers, it does not require the installation of custom vendor drivers on most operating systems.
Why Choose This Part
The module eliminates the need for complex USB protocol handling by providing a simple bridge to I2C or UART interfaces. Its 24-pin DIP package with a 2.54mm pitch is ideal for prototyping, and the 2048-byte internal EEPROM allows for storage of custom USB descriptors and configurations.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Plug the module into a breadboard and connect to a PC via a micro-USB cable; the device will be recognized as a standard HID device. Use FTDI's LibFT260 or standard HID APIs to send and receive data over the I2C or UART channels. The on-board test points allow for easy probing of the VBUS, GND, and signal lines during development.
