FT245R Series
The FT245R is the latest device to be added to FTDI's range of USB FIFO interface Integrated Circuit Devices. 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. |

DLP-VLOG
The DLP-VLOG is intended as both a demonstration platform for the new Vinculum IC as well as a learning tool. The Development Kit is designed to log temperature, humidity and voltage data to a USB Flash drive. Using the Vinculum IC from FTDI, this system demonstrates how one can provide
virtually unlimited data storage for a small microcontroller.
This system can be beneficial to electronics enthusiasts with virtually any level of technical expertise. Based on the Vinculum Host Controller IC and the Microchip PIC16F88 Microcontroller, the DLP-VLOG can function as a digital design trainer, a microprocessor development system, or as a rapid path to learning how to implement a USB Host Controller for interfacing a USB Flash drive to a small microcontroller.
Programming headers on the board allow for firmware updates to both the microcontroller and the Vinculum IC so that the board can be updated with additional features developed by the user as well as firmware updates for the Vinculum.
A highly optimized C compiler from Custom Computer Services is provided with the kit that supports the microcontroller firmware. Changes made to the firmware can be debugged and reprogrammed into the microcontroller using the CCS ICD Programmer/Debugger module, which is also included with the kit.
The sensor used in this design is the Senserion SHT11. While this sensor will acquire temperature data in the range of -40 to 123.8°C (-40 to 255°F), it is recommended that you restrict exposure of the module to the commercial temperature range of 0-70°C. The humidity range for the sensor is 0-100% (non-condensing). |
