UMFT221XA-01 (FTDI)

The UMFT221XA-01 is an USB to 8bit SPI/FT1248 DIP development module with a 0.3inch row pitch. It incorporates a FT221XQ USB to SPI/FT1248 interface with a battery charger detection feature, which can allow batteries to be charged with a higher current from a dedicated charger port (without the FT221X being enumerated). In addition, asynchronous and synchronous bit bang interface modes are available. The internally generated clock (6MHz, 12MHz and 24MHz) can be brought out on the CBUS pin to be used to drive a microprocessor or external logic. The UMFT221XA-01 is a module which is designed to plug into a standard 0.3inch wide 20 pin DIP socket. This development module has two solder links fixed to the top side of the PCB. These solder link can be adjusted by removing the solder linking the two PADs to produce an open or by placing a solder bridge to produce a short.
