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.
