Features

Single Chip USB <=> parallel FIFO bi-directional data transfer
Data transfer rate of up to 1M Bytecond (D2XX drivers)
Data transfer rate of up to 300K Bytecond (VCP drivers)
Simple to interface to MCU/PLD/FPGA logic with a 4-wire handshaking interface
Entire USB protocol handled on-chip: no USB-specific firmware programming required
FTDI’s royalty-free VCP and D2XX drivers eliminate the requirement for USB driver development in most cases
384 Byte FIFO Tx buffer/128 Byte FIFO Rx buffer for high data throughput
New send immediate support via SI pin for optimised data throughput
Support for USB suspend/resume through PWREN# and WAKEUP pins
Support for high power USB bus powered devices through PWREN# pin
Adjustable Rx buffer timeout
Built-in support for event characters
Integrated level converter on FIFO and control signals for interfacing to 5V and 3.3V logic
Integrated 3.3V regulator for USB IO
Integrated Power-On-Reset circuit
Integrated 6MHz - 48Mhz clock multiplier PLL
USB Bulk or Isochronous data transfer modes
New Bit-Bang Mode allows the data bus to be used as an 8 bit general purpose IO port without the need for MCU or other support logic
4.35V to 5.25V single supply operation
UHC/OHCI/EHCI host controller compatible
USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 compatible
USB VID, PID , serial number and product description strings in external EEPROM
EEPROM programmable on-board via USB
Compact 32-LD LQFP or QFN-32 package
Available as a Lead-free device (FT245BL and FT245BQ) compliant to EU directive 2002/95/EG RoHS
