FTDI Chip Vinculum-II Embedded Dual USB Host Controllers
FTDI Vinculum-II Embedded Dual USB Host Controllers IC represents the second generation of FTDI USB Host devices. The embedded CPU in the Vinculum-II is upgraded from the previous VNC1L device, which increases the processing power. This FTDI Embedded Dual USB Host Controller features a powerful 16-bit MCU core with 256KB Flash and 16KB RAM. The Vinculum-II is a complete USB system solution that supports a range of flexible interfaces, including UART, SPI, and FIFO, plus a PWM output block to control motors and other analog devices.
The complete USB protocol data processing is handled entirely by hardware resources within the device, freeing up processing resources for user-developed applications. This fully programmable USB controller is supported by the new Vinculum Software Tool Suite, which provides a royalty-free C based integrated development environment to enable users to develop applications for the VNC2.
