FT200XD-R Integrated Circuits (ICs)

Interface - Controllers

FT200XD-Rs are a family of interface controllers, providing an automatic control of the connection between a host device and an external USB device. They offer an easy and efficient solution for connecting USB devices to a host system with minimal effort and minimal cost. Additionally, they offer an integrated user interface providing an intuitive interface, providing the user with access to multiple functionalities.

FT200XD-R Application Field

FT200XDs are designed to be integrated into nearly any type of device that requires USB connection. Typical applications for such interfaces include connecting printers, digital cameras, scanners, flash drives, and other output or input devices. These types of devices can be incorporated into medical, military, or aerospace systems, or even industrial control systems. Regardless of the application, the FT200XD-Rs provide the ability to connect reliably and efficiently between a host device and an external USB device with minimal user intervention.

An FT200XD-R can also be used in industrial control systems or robotics. Here, the controller can be used to connect either to an external USB device, or even directly to a servo system. This can be used to provide control over the motion of a robotic system, as well as interface with any other external USB device connected to the controller. Additionally, the FT200XD-Rs provide a means of attaching multiple input and output devices, such as cameras and microphones, directly to a robotic system.

FT200XD-R Working Principle

The FT200XD-R works by establishing a communication protocol between the host device and the external USB device. This protocol allows for communication “handshakes” between these two devices, as well as the retrieval of device data from the external device. Upon establishing these communications, the controller can then control the necessary signals for device access and operation. The FT200XD-R supports various USB versions, including USB 2.0, depending on the particular device being used.

The FT200XD-R architecture is based on a modular approach, which allows for flexible updating of the controller. This allows for the addition or replacement of external USB devices, without having to reconfigure the controller. Additionally, the FT200XD-R supports a number of host/device system configurations, such as an internal USB hub, external USB hub, or peer-to-peer communication link.

Conclusion

The FT200XD-R provides efficient and reliable connection between a host device and an external USB device. It is designed to be incorporated into a wide range of applications, offering flexibility in terms of the type and number of devices connected. Its modular architecture allows it to be easily updated, while still providing the necessary signals for device communication. Finally, the FT200XD-R supports multiple USB versions, as well as different host/device configurations.
