FTDI is a professional manufacturer that designs and supplies USB chips and software solutions. FTDI combines easy-to-implement IC devices with well-proven free USB firmware and software drivers to provide a shortcut to USB implementation. The company's USB single- and multi-channel interfaces can be peripheralized as UART or FIFO interfaces with easy-to-use features. These current devices can be used for traditional USB to RS232/RS422 converter applications, but also for fast interface from MCU, PLD or FPGA to USB. There are many evaluation tools software and modules available to design chips for evaluating FTDI.
