CPU-style FIFO interface mode simplifies CPU interface design.Supports a half duplex FT1248 interface with a configurable width, bi-directional data bus (1, 2, 4 or 8 bits wide).USB to synchronous 245 parallel FIFO mode for transfers up to 40 Mbytes/Sec.USB to asynchronous 245 FIFO mode for transfer data rate up to 8 MByte/Sec.(RS232 Data Rate limited by external level shifter). UART transfer data rate up to 12Mbaud.Multi-Protocol Synchronous Serial Engine (MPSSE) to simplify synchronous serial protocol (USB to JTAG, I2C, SPI or bit-bang) design.USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mbits/Second) and Full Speed (12Mbits/Second) compatible.No USB specific firmware programming required. Entire USB protocol handled on the chip.Single channel USB to serial / parallel ports with a variety of configurations.This 48 pin device is available in either LQFP or QFN packaging, and is ROHS compliant. FTDI provides royalty-free virtual com port and D2XX drivers for Microsoft Windows (XP – Windows7), Apple Mac OSX, and Linux. On-board voltage regulation provides 3.3V and 1.8V supplies from a 5V source, as well as a power-on-reset function. The I/O structure is 3.3V with built-in tolerance for 5V, allowing the designer maximum flexibility when interfacing with FPGAs. In addition, this device features the new synchronous, half-duplex FT1248 bus, which allows an engineer to trade off bandwidth for pin count using 1, 2, 4, or 8 data lines at up to 30Mbytes/s. Using a serial EEPROM interface, this device can be configured for a wide variety of asynchronous and synchronous serial standards, such as JTAG, SPI, I2C and UART as well as synchronous and asynchronous parallel FIFO interfaces. Operating at USB Hi-Speed 480Mbps rate, this fast single channel bridge chip features either a flexible serial interface or parallel FIFO interface, with data transfer speeds up to 40Mbytes/s. With added Power Delivery(PD) functionality to the existing High Speed Series. USB High Speed Power Delivery Series are now available here. FT232H – Hi-Speed Single Channel USB UART/FIFO IC
