FTDI Chip has introduced a USB-based GPS module to provide positioning data for laptops, tablets or an embedded PC. Running off a 5V supply from a USB A port, the module is based on the company’s ...

The FTDI communication chip is combined on the module with a +1..8V LDO regulator, an integrated power-on reset, and an on-chip phase-locked loop multiplier, with a frequency range of 12 MHz to 480 ...

According to the company, the single channel usb to UART/FIFO interface device can be configured via EEPROM to use a variety of different serial or parallel interfaces. Bundled with FTDI's usb device ...

Furthermore, the USB Hub Module gives a greater degree of flexibility to RPi based system designs,” said Dart. The debug cable, which connects directly to the serial port, will allow laptop/desktop ...

The series supports a selection of interface types such as UART, full UART, FIFO and I 2 C and FTDI's proprietary FT1248 I/O. According to FTDI, X-Chip provides a USB interface solution designed to ...

Not a Panacea FTDI bitbang mode comes in handy for many projects, but it’s not a solution to every problem. There are many situations where a microcontroller is still preferable: ...

The common form of the USB to Serial adapter is an FTDI breakout board. This requires drivers, though, and there is actually a simpler – and wireless – solution: the ESP8266 WiFi module.

This came to us via hardware hacking site Hack A Day. The driver in question is for a line of USB-to-serial chips designed by Scottish firm FTDI.
