Evaluation Kits |
|
|
There are a large number of
modules and evaluation kits available which incorporate FTDI devices.
These pages list some of those available with links to the manufacturers
own websites where possible.
If you or your company have a hardware product you would like listed in
our 3rd party pages, please submit your request to
Daniel
McCaffrey at FTDI. Your
hardware must incorporate FTDI's devices and drivers and be of
interest to design and development engineers.

Vinculum Modules |
|
|
Several modules demonstrating the capabilities of the new
Vinculum IC are available, including
DIP modules, add-on modules and dedicated application modules.
A quantity discount structure also makes these modules suitable for
incorporation into low/medium volume finished product designs.
Information on the
Vinculum modules can be found with
product documentation on the
Vinculum web site.

FT232R Modules |
|
|
A range of modules based on the FT232R IC are now available from FTDI
and its distribution channels. These new modules include USB -
RS232 converters, DIP modules and a mini-module only slightly larger
than a USB connector.
These products allow customers to quickly evaluate the
FT232R device and drivers prior to commencing their own design.

FT245R Modules |
|
|
Information on modules based on the FT245R IC can be found in this
section. Modules such as the UM245R basic DIP module can be used
to quickly evaluate the FT245R device before incorporating it into a
design.

DIP Modules |
|
|
This section highlights FT2232, FT232B and FT245B based
dual in line modules
available products from FTDI and its distribution
channels. These products allow customers to quickly evaluate our devices and drivers prior to commencing their own design.
Some modules simply incorporate the FTDI device and
essential support components into a convenient DIP
format, whilst others have an on-board microcontroller as well. These modules are suitable for incorporating directly into low/medium volume product designs as they can plug into standard DIP
sockets.

USB - Serial Converters |
|
|
This section highlights FT232BM based USB to serial converters available
from FTDI and it's distribution channels. These products allow
customers to quickly evaluate our devices and drivers prior to
commencing their own design.

FPGA Development Kits |
|
|
FTDI's
FT2232C UART/FIFO and FT245BM USB FIFO devices are the ideal
companions for USB enabled FPGA designs. A simple state machine
interface inside the FPGA is all that is required for the FPGA to
communicate over USB. In many cases, the FPGA can also be
programmed over the same USB interface giving ultimate flexibility
to the design engineer. In the case of the FT2232C, one of the
available channels can be used to program the FPGA and the other can
be used to communicate at run-time. This section highlights such
FT2232C and FT245BM based FPGA development kits using Altera,
Lattice and Xilinx FPGAs.

Engineering Tools &
Instrumentation |
|
|
This section highlights other programming tools and test/measurement
instruments which may be of interest to the FTDI developer community.
All of these products are based on FTDI's FT2232C USB UART/FIFO or FT245BM USB FIFO devices
combined with FTDI's D2XX USB drivers and are good examples of how FTDI'
s USB technology can be implemented in practice.

Data Acquisition & Learning
Tools |
|
|
This section highlights FT232BM and FT245BM based evaluation kits
available from FTDI and it's distribution channels. Kits included
in this section include USB to serial adaptors, temperature and humidity
sensors, data acquisition boards, PIC development platforms, prototyping
kits and learning kits.

Wireless Modules |
|
|
This section highlights wireless modules based on FTDI devices.
These RF transceiver modules are designed to enable wireless networking
within a home, office or factory environment by replacing the wiring
typically found between a microcontroller/DSP/FPGA, etc. and host PC.
The DLP-RF1 and DLP-RF2 ZigBee ready transceivers have been granted
modular approval. Under this approval, customer designs meeting a
few basic requirements need not undergo additional regulatory agency (FCC,
Industry Canada) transmitter testing. Please refer to the
datasheets for additional details.

3rd Party DIP Modules |
|
|
This section highlights 3rd party DIP modules based on FTDI devices.
These products allow customers to quickly evaluate our devices and
drivers prior to commencing their own design. These modules are
suitable for incorporating directly into low/medium volume product
designs as they can plug into standard 0.6in wide DIP sockets.
These products are not usually available through regular FTDI
distribution channels. The product manufacturers should be
contacted in each case for details of where to buy.
