Overview

The V2DIP1-48 is a Vinculum-II (VNC2) development module designed in a 48-pin DIP form factor for easy integration with breadboards and prototyping systems. It features a single USB A-type socket and provides access to the VNC2-48Q IC, which functions as a programmable USB 2.0 host and slave controller.

Why Choose This Part

The module offers flexible interface options including UART, SPI, and Parallel FIFO that can be mapped to various I/O pins via a programmable crossbar switch. It simplifies hardware design by providing onboard power regulation, traffic LEDs, and a standard 0.6-inch wide DIL footprint compatible with standard sockets.

Applications

USB Host Prototyping
Adding USB host capabilities to existing MCU designs to support flash drives, keyboards, or mice.
Legacy UART to USB Migration
Bridging older UART-based industrial equipment to modern USB peripheral or host interfaces.
Mobile Data Logging
Creating portable devices that can write sensor data directly to standard USB mass storage devices.
Embedded USB Controller Development
Developing custom firmware for the VNC2-48Q using FTDI's C-based toolchain for specific USB class support.
