FTDI FT2232H MINI MODULE

The FT2232H Mini Module is a USB-to-serial/FIFO development module which utilizes the FT2232H USB Hi-Speed two-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 FT2232H on the Mini Module is a USB 2.0 High Speed (480Mb/s) to UART/MPSSE IC. The device features two interfaces that can be configured for asynchronous or synchronous serial or parallel FIFO interfaces. The two channels can also be independently configured to use an MPSSE engine. This allows the two ports of the FT2232H to operate independently as UART/Bit-Bang ports or MPSSE engines used to emulate JTAG, SPI, I²C, Bit-bang or other synchronous serial modes. All components used, including the FT2232H are Pb-free (RoHS compliant). The FT2232H Mini Module connects the signals of the FT2232H IC to two 26-pin dual-row headers which allow easy connection PCB header sockets and ribbon cables. The FT2232H Mini Module requires USB device drivers, which are used to make the FT2232H on the Mini Module appear as a two virtual COM ports (VCP). This then allows the user to communicate with the USB interface via a standard PC serial emulation port (TTY). Another FTDI USB driver, the D2XX driver, can also be used with application software to directly access the FT2232H on the Mini Module though a DLL. The FT2232H Mini Modules are fully compliant with the USB 2.0 specification.
