FT-X series devices offer lower power, lower pin count, and a leadership feature set, that makes bridging from a USB ports to UART, I2C, enhanced SPI (FT1248) or FIFO interfaces easy to design and implement. Key features include:

The FT12 series consists of 3 full-speed USB peripheral controller ICs.

The FT120 is the basic device designed as a drop-in alternative for PDIUSBD12 designs. The FT122 extends the FT120 design by adding battery charger detection and internal clocking, while the FT121 replaces the parallel interface with an SPI interface allowing for less pin count required from the external processor. All three devices are fully customisable for different USB classes and applications.

The Vinculum family of devices allow the implementation of USB host controller functionality within products, thus saving development time and costs by using FTDI's tried and tested firmware programmed into internal, easily upgradeable Flash memory.

The Vinculum family of USB Host Controller ICs not only handle the USB Host Interface, and data transfer functions but owing to the inbuilt 8/32-bit MCU and embedded Flash memory, vinculum encapsulates the USB device classes as well. When interfacing to mass storage devices such as USB Flash drives, vinculum also transparently handles the FAT file structure communicating via UART, SPI or parallel FIFO interfaces via a simple to implement command set. The vinculum device features two USB Ports which can be individually configured by firmware as Host or Slave ports.

vinvulum brings cost effective USB Host capability to products that previously did not have the hardware resources available. Viniculum devices will be especially popular for adding USB Flash drive connectivity to a wide range of consumer and industrial products. Viniculum family comes complete with FTDI's in-house developed firmware, there are no USB software stacks to license, indeed, no knowledge of USB is required to use these devices.

The initial product member of the family is the VNC1L device which features two USB Ports which can be individually configured by firmware as Host or Slave ports.

The FT311D and FT312D provide a bridge between peripheral hardware and an Android platform with a USB device port. The FT311D will enumerate the Android platform and provide an interface to either, GPIO, UART, PWM, I2C Master, SPI Slave or SPI Master, while the FT312D has optimised buffering for fast UART transfer. Note, proper compatibility requires Android Open Accessory Mode, available in Android platforms 3.1 onwards.

The FT313H is a general purpose USB2.0 Hi-Speed, EHCI Host controller designed for integration with microcontrollers via numerous parallel bus options and offering battery charger emulation on the downstream port to enable optimized charging with higher currents.

FTDI Chip is redefining the cost and quality paradigm for graphic user interface (GUI) development with the introduction of the FT800, Embedded Video Engine (EVE). With 3 in 1 functionality including display, audio, and touch operations, engineers now have an advanced solution to easily create and output state-of-the-art interactive display systems. Targeted at QVGA and WQVGA TFT display panels, EVE’s object orientated approach eliminates the traditional frame buffer memory as it renders an image, on a line by line basis, to 1/16th pixel resolution. Simply, initialize the object memory, then control the objects and their attributes by creating and manipulating a small display list buffer, which can be done even with a low-end 8-bit CPU. The embedded audio controller allows midi-like sounds or PCM audio playback. Packaged in a space-saving 48LD QFN package, the FT800 comes preloaded with a useful set of fonts and sounds in ROM, making it suitable for many applications.

The FT2232H is FTDI’s 5th generation of USB devices. The FT2232H is a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mb/s) to UART/FIFO IC. It has the capability of being configured in a variety of industry standard serial or parallel interfaces.

Building on the innovative features of the FT2232, the FT2232H has two multi-protocol synchronous serial engines (MPSSEs) which allow for communication using JTAG, I2C and SPI on two channels simultaneously.

The FT4232H is FTDI’s 5th generation of USB devices. The FT4232H is a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mb/s) to UART IC. It has the capability of being configured in a variety of industry standard serial or parallel interfaces.

The FT4232H features 4 UARTs. Two of these have an option to independently configure an MPSSE engine, this allows the FT4232H to operate as two UART/Bit-Bang ports plus two MPSSE engines used to emulate JTAG, SPI, I2C, Bit-bang or other synchronous serial modes.

FT232 chip can bridge the commonly used industry-standard serial interfaces to USB with entire USB protocol handled on the chip. The supported serial protocols include RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 at up to 3 Mega baud data transfer rate.

The latest version is FT232R. It integrates EEPROM and clock generator into the chip, and provides 5 extra customer-configurable I/O pins, and offers FTDIChip-ID™ security protection features. It also supports wide logic signal levels from 5V down to 1.8V, and -40°C to 85°C industrial operating temperature range.

The FT232R adds two new functions compared with its predecessors, effectively making it a "3-in-1" chip for some application areas. The internally generated clock (6MHz, 12MHz, 24MHz, and 48MHz) can be brought out of the device and used to drive a microcontroller or external logic. 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 FT232R is available in Pb-free (RoHS compliant) compact 28-Lead SSOP and QFN-32 packages.
