FT245R - USB FIFO
IC |
|
|
The FT245R
is the latest device to be added to FTDI’s range
of USB FIFO interface Integrated Circuit Devices. The FT245R is a
USB to parallel FIFO interface, with the new FTDIChip-ID™ security
dongle feature. In addition, asynchronous and synchronous bit bang
interface modes are available. USB to parallel designs using the FT245R
have been further simplified by fully integrating the external EEPROM,
clock circuit and USB resistors onto the device. The FT245R adds a new
function compared with its predecessors, effectively making it a
"2-in-1" chip for some application areas. A unique number (the
FTDIChip-ID™) is burnt into the device during manufacture and is
readable over USB, thus forming the basis of a security dongle which can
be used to protect customer application software from being copied.
The FT245R is available in Pb-free (RoHS compliant) compact 28-Lead
SSOP and QFN-32 packages.
