FTDI Vinco Development Modules
|
The FTDI Vinco Development Module is used to create a low-cost development platform featuring USB Host/Slave controller with integrated 16-bit CPU unleashes new possibilities for cost effective embedded design. The Vinco is inspired by the Arduino concept and shares the same form factor as the Arduino Duemilanove / Uno with two extra rows of headers. The Vinco platform allows designers to integrate powerful USB 2.0 interfacing by incorporating the FTDI Vinculum-II VNC2-64 dual-channel Host/Slave controller with the capability of interfacing to the growing range of I/O application boards (shields) developed by the Arduino open-source community.
The FTDI Vinco Development Module integrates an 8-channel, 10-bit ADC and also supports 38 GPIO connections, and USB A and mini B (host and device) connectors on a board measuring just 55.38mm x 68.58mm. The FTDI Vinco platform brings together all of the hardware and software needed for rapid development of innovative, cost-effective embedded systems.

FTDI VNC2 ICs
The
FTDI Vinculum-II
(VNC2)
Embedded Dual USB Host Controller IC
represents the second generation of
FTDI USB Host
devices. The
Vinculum-II
CPU is dramatically upgraded from the previous VNC1L device, greatly
increasing the processing power. This
FTDI Embedded Dual USB Host Controller
features a powerful 16-bit MCU core with 256KB Flash and 16KB RAM
memory. The
Vinculum-II
is a complete
USB
system solution that supports a range of flexible interfaces,
including UART, SPI, FIFO, and PWM. The complete USB protocol data
processing is handled entirely by hardware resources within the device.
