The FTDI Chip USB Hi-Speed development board is a USB-serial/FIFO mini-module in the FTDI product range, which utilizes the FT4232H USB hi-speed 4-port bridge chip to handle all the USB signalling and protocols. It is ideal for development purposes to quickly prove the functionality of adding USB to a target design. This device features four interfaces that can be configured for asynchronous or synchronous serial or parallel FIFO interfaces. Two of these have an option to independently configure an MPSSE engine. This allows the FT4232H to operate as two UART/Bit-Bang ports plus two MPSSE engines used to emulate JTAG, SPI, I2C, Bit-bang or other synchronous serial modes. It connects the signals of the IC to two 26-pin dual-row headers which allow easy connection PCB header sockets and ribbon cables. Versions Available: (730-0142) - USB to Serial/FIFO (Dual) - FT2232H MINI MODULE (730-0146) - USB to Serial/FIFO (Quad) - FT4232H MINI MODULE (111-5835) - USB to Serial/FIFO (Dual) - FT2232H-56Q MINI MODULE (111-5836) - USB to Serial/FIFO (Quad) - FT4232H-56Q MINI MODULE
