FTDI USB to 4-Bit SPI/FT1248 Breakout Module Wire Ended

The FTDI USB to 4-Bit SPI/FT1248 Breakout Module is a versatile development board designed to facilitate seamless interface conversion. Based on the FT220X architecture, this wire-ended module provides a reliable bridge between USB and FT1248 or 4-bit SPI interfaces.

A distinctive design feature of this breakout board is the absence of a traditional USB connector. Instead, it plugs directly into the USB host connector using the pads on the PCB, creating a compact and integrated connection. The module utilises two FT1248 I/O lines for USB to FT1248 communication.

Power is well-managed with a 3.3V power output that includes a 50mA current limit, alongside a fused 5V supply for robust operation. The wire-ended option includes 6-inch flying leads fitted to the CN2 connector, offering flexible wiring solutions for your development projects.
