FTDI Chip’s integrated circuit development is guided by a simple principle, Making Design Easy. This translates into taking into account of not just the chip design, but also system integration and software needs, value-added features and design support. To this end, FTDI offers a wide product offering for USB solutions including Full Speed and Hi-Speed chips for USB peripherals, hosts, and bridges, as well as our Vinculum family of 16 bit micro-controllers with multi-port USB capabilities.

In 2013, FTDI Chip extended the USB Made Easy concept to the graphic interface market with Display Made Easy. With the introduction of EVE, Embedded Video Engine, a new display technology centered around object oriented graphics is being offered. The FT800 device is the first EVE integrated circuit of this family. Offered in a 48 pin QFN package (7x7mm), this feature rich device supports display, audio, and touch functions providing a complete solution for Human Machine Interfaces and enabling hi-quality images for QVGA and WQVGA displays. In 2014 this series was extended to include the capacitive touch enabled version of the EVE integrated circuit, and 2015 has seen the announcement of the FT81X series, a further 4 devices to be added to the EVE range: the FT810, FT811, FT812 and FT813.

FT-X Series ICs – Full Speed USB Peripheral Bridges

The new FT-X series of Full Speed USB device bridges offer more interface options with lower power, lower pin count and higher levels of integration.

The devices all include an integrated crystal and an internal Multi-Time-Programmable (MTP) Memory for configuring and storing the device descriptors. Taken together these features provide extra system functionality, thus reducing the system bill of material (BOM) and overall printed circuit board (PCB) real estate.In addition, a new Battery Charger detection feature is now included for use, enabling higher charging currents and shorter charging times.
