| FT245R USB FIFO I.C |
|
The FT245R is a USB to parallel FIFO interface, with the new FTDIChip-ID™ 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.
The FT245R adds a new function compared with its predecessors, effectively making it a "2-in-1" chip for some application areas. A unique number (the FTDIChip-ID™) 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 FT245R is available in Pb-free (RoHS compliant) compact 28-Lead SSOP (FT245RL) and QFN-32 (FT245RQ) packages.

 Versatile Range of Evaluation Kits
The Eval Kits represent the quickest way to get USB under your belt, with many allowing you to get up and running in less than 30 minutes. Volume pricing is available which is flexible enough to mean you could embed a module within your design for minimal time-to-market turnaround. Please speak to the Alpha Micro sales team for your area for volume pricing.
Custom PID service
For volume applications Alpha Micro can provide a Product Identifier (PID) under the FTDI "umbrella scheme" that can be used to personalise a design based on the FT245Rx so that your end user will see your product name in the Windows Install Wizard for extra brand awareness.
There is an added benefit that the driver is tagged to your hardware and cannot be used by other devices. This feature can only be used with FTDI chips, the Vendor ID (VID) must remain untouched. Please contact our sales team for more information on this facility.
Customers should use MPROG to program this feature and any other changes to the default settings within the EEPROM (which must be fitted if this feature is required). MPROG is free to use and performs the programming tasks over the USB.
