Furthermore, they are fully compliant with Rev 3.0 of the USB power delivery (PD) specification. Each features a Type-C\/PD controller for taking care of all negotiation and power gauging, then deciding on the appropriate course of action (thereby offloading work that the system microcontroller would otherwise have to perform). This will enable any equipment that these ICs are integrated into to either draw or provide power as the situation dictates &#8211; with power levels of up to 100W being supported.<br \/>\nBased on a 32-bit RISC processor core, with 8kB of data RAM and 48kB of code ROM embedded, the PD Policy Engine manages the respective PD ports. The PD1 port can act as either a power sink or power source, while the PD2 port only acts as a power sink. Since all USB protocol handling can be accomplished directly on chip, there is no need for USB specific firmware programming to be embarked upon &#8211; which significantly streamlines the whole implementation process. Furthermore, access to FTDI\u2019s royalty-free USB drivers (for Windows, Linux, Mac and Android) negates the need for engineers to create their own drivers from scratch.<br \/>\nThe FT2233HP and FT4233HP ICs are available in 76-pin QFN packages, as well as 80-pin LQFP packages. An extended operational temperature range of -40\u00b0C to 85\u00b0C is supported, in order to allow deployment in harsh industrial environments. Among the key applications for these devices are domestic appliances, test instrumentation, factory automation systems, power tools, lighting equipment, barcode readers and consumer electronics products.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4th March 2020 &#8211; Always at the forefront of embedded connectivity innovations, FTDI Chip\u2019s latest series of multi-channel USB interface ICs.
