FTDI Chip VNC1 Module VDIP1

FTDI Chip USB Module

The FTDI Chip USB Module is an MCU to embedded USB host controller development kit for the VNC1L IC device. It is supplied on a PCB, designed to fit into a 24-pin DIP socket and provides access to the UART, parallel FIFO and SPI interface pins on the device via its AD and AC bus pins. This can handle the USB host interface and data transfer functions but owing to the inbuilt MCU and embedded flash memory, vinculum can encapsulate the USB device classes as well. When interfacing to mass storage devices such as USB flash drives, it also transparently handles the FAT File structure communicating via UART, SPI or parallel FIFO interfaces via a simple to implement command set. It is ideal for developing and rapid prototyping of VNC1L designs and its attractive quantity discount structure make this module suitable for incorporation into low and medium volume finished product designs.
