UM245R USB-Parallel FIFO
Development Module
Incorporating FTDIChip-ID™ Security Dongle
The
UM245R
is a development module which uses FTDI’s FT245RL, the latest device to be added to FTDI’s range of
USB UART 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.
The UM245R is supplied on a PCB which is designed to plug into a standard 15.0mm (0.6”) wide 24 pin DIP socket.
All components used, including the FT232RL are Pb-free (RoHS compliant).
