- FT2232 - The FT2232 is the 3rd generation of FTDI's popular USB UART/FIFO IC family. This device features two multi-purpose UART/FIFO controllers which can be configured individually in several different modes. As well as a UART interface, a FIFO interface and the Bit-Bang IO mode of the 2nd generation FT232B and FT245B devices, the FT2232 offers a variety of additional new modes of operation including a Multi-Protocol Synchronous Serial Engine (MPSSE) interface which is designed specifically for synchronous serial protocols such as I2C, JTAG and SPI bus.
- FT232BM, FT232BL & FT232BQ - USB UART ICs - The FT232BM is the 2nd generation of FTDI's popular USB UART device and the FT232BL is a lead free version of it. This device not only adds extra functionality to its predecessor (FT8U232AM) and reduces external component count, but also maintains a high degree of pin compatibility with the original making it easy to upgrade or cost reduce existing designs as well as increasing the potential for using this device in new application areas.
The FT232BQ provides the same functionality as the FT232BM and FT232BL in a QFN-32 lead free package.
- FT232R - USB UART IC - The FT232R is the latest device to be added to FTDI's range of USB UART interface Integrated Circuit Devices. The FT232R is a USB to serial UART interface with optional clock generator output, and the new FTDIChip-IDT security dongle feature. In addition, asynchronous and synchronous bit bang interface modes are available. USB to serial designs using the FT232R have been further simplified by fully integrating the external EEPROM, clock circuit and USB resistors onto the device.
The FT232R adds two new functions compared with its predecessors, effectively making it a "3-in-1" chip for some application areas. The internally generated clock (6MHz, 12MHz, 24MHz, and 48MHz) can be brought out of the device and used to drive a microcontroller or external logic. A unique number (the FTDIChip-IDT) is burnt into the device during manufacture and is readable over USB, thus forming the basis of a security dongle which can be used to protect customer application software from being copied.
The FT232R is available in Pb-free (RoHS compliant) compact 28-Lead SSOP and QFN-32 packages.
- FT245BM, FT245BL & FT245BQ - USB FIFO ICs - The FT245BM is the 2nd generation of FTDI's popular USB FIFO device and the FT245BL is a lead free version of it. This device not only adds extra functionality to its predecessor (FT8U245AM) and reduces external component count, but also maintains a high degree of pin compatibility with the original making it easy to upgrade or cost reduce existing designs as well as increasing the potential for using this device in new application areas.
The FT245BQ provides the same functionality as the FT245BM and FT245BL in a QFN-32 lead free package.
- FT245R - USB FIFO IC - The FT245R is the latest device to be added to FTDI's range of USB FIFO interface Integrated Circuit Devices. The FT245R is a USB to parallel FIFO interface, with the new FTDIChip-IDT security dongle feature. In addition, asynchronous and synchronous bit bang interface modes are available. USB to parallel designs using the FT245R have been further simplified by fully integrating the external EEPROM, clock circuit and USB resistors onto the device.

- Vinculum - The Vinculum family of USB Host Controller ICs not only handle the USB Host Interface and data transfer functions, but owing to the inbuilt 8/32-bit MCU and embedded Flash memory, Vinculum encapsulates the USB device classes as well. When interfacing to mass storage devices such as USB Flash drives, Vinculum also transparently handles the FAT file structure communicating via UART, SPI or parallel FIFO interfaces via a simple to implement command set.
