V2DIP2-64 – USB Interface, USB Host Interface, VNC2-64Q, SPI, UART, 5 V

V2DIP2-64 is a 64pin VNC2 based development module with two USB connectors. The module is targeted for prototyping with the VNC2 and for application integration to enable USB capability within a finished product design. The VNC2 is one of the family of Vinculum devices from FTDI. The second of FTDI’s Vinculum family of Embedded dual USB host controller integrated circuit devices. The device is capable of handling the USB Host Interface for a variety of different USB device classes, e.g. BOMS, Printer, HID etc. When interfacing to mass storage devices such as USB Flash drives, VNC2 also transparently handles the FAT File structure. Communication with non USB devices such as a low cost microcontroller is accomplished via either UART, SPI or parallel FIFO interfaces using a simple to implement command set. VNC2 provides a new cost effective solution for providing USB Host capability into products that previously did not have the hardware resources available.
