The FT4232H Mini Module is a USB-serial/MPSSE development
module in the FTDI product range which utilizes the FT4232H USB Hi-Speed
four-port bridge chip which handles all the USB signalling and
protocols. It is ideal for development purposes to quickly prove
functionality of adding USB to a target design.
The FT4232H on the Mini Module is FTDI’s 5th generation
of USB devices. The FT4232H is a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mb/s) to
UART/MPSSE IC. The device features four interfaces that can be
configured for asynchronous or synchronous serial or parallel FIFO
interfaces. Two of these have an option to independently configure
an MPSSE engine. This allows the FT4232H to operate as two
UART/Bit-Bang ports plus two MPSSE engines used to emulate JTAG, SPI,
I2C, Bit-bang or other synchronous serial modes.
The FT4232H Mini Module connects the signals of the
FT4232H IC to two 26-pin dual-row headers which allow easy connection
PCB header sockets and ribbon cables.
