FTDI has announced the release of two new ICs - the FT2232H Hi-Speed USB Dual UART/FIFO IC and the FT4232H Hi-Speed USB Quad UART IC.
Both of these new ICs are USB 2.0 Hi-Speed devices operating at 480Mbps. In addition to the standard UART and FIFO modes, each of these devices supports FTDI's bit-bang modes and contains two multi-protocol synchronous serial engines (MPSSEs) to allow communication using JTAG, I2C and SPI protocols. They are the 5th generation of USB devices and have the capability of being configured in a variety of industry standard serial or parallel interfaces.
The FT2232H and FT4232H are available in Pb-free (RoHS compliant) 64-pin LQFP and QFN packages.
