FTDI Serial to USB Devices USB Controller IC

FTDI Serial to USB Devices USB Controller IC

FTDI are specialists in converting legacy peripherals to Universal Serial Bus (USB) and offer customers the easiest route to USB migration by combining USB-Serial (USB-RS232) and USB-FIFO silicon solutions with their "ready-to-go" royalty free USB drivers.

FTDI's comprehensive solutions include all the relevant software drivers needed to develop a product quickly and offer reduced development and debug costs. By integrating FTDI devices into your products you can uniquely differentiate your products in a very competitive and rapidly changing global market.

Please use the product selection table below to choose the most suitable IC for your application. We also have a range of low cost evaluation kits available so you can start to play with the devices without having to lay out a PCB.

Comprehensive Development Support

Versatile Range of Evaluation Kits

FTDI's Eval Kits represent the quickest way to get USB under your belt, with many allowing you to get running in less than 30 minutes. Volume pricing is available which is flexible enough to mean you could embedd 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.

A variety of Evaluation Modules are available for prototyping and pricing can be provided for volume use of the modules as an alternative to implementing the chip on your PCB.
