FTDI Software Examples. Other Programming Langauges. C++ Builder Examples. USB to RS232/422/485 Modules. The DB9-USB range of modules provide a simple and fast method of migrating existing DB9 based connector UART interfaces to USB 2.0.

USB to RS232/422/485 Modules

In some cases this can be done without the need to redesign the PCB. In some cases they can reduce system costs by removing an RS232 level shifter from a design. The modules feature a USB2.0 mini-B connector within a module which fits a standard 9-pin DB9 connector footprint. Ideal for legacy applications which feature UART DB9 based connectors, these modules provide a method of extending the life-cycle of these products by converting them to USB2.0 connectivity, with minimal redesign.

Developers. FT245R. Is the latest device to be added to FTDI’s range of USB FIFO interface Integrated Circuit Devices.

FT245R

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 and QFN-32 packages.
