FTDI FT600 32-bit FIFO to USB 3.0 Bridge Evaluation Board

The FTDI FT600 32-bit FIFO to USB 3.0 Bridge Evaluation Board bridges a 32-bit FIFO parallel bus to a USB 3.0 host, offering a USB 3.0 SuperSpeed (5 Gbps) interface for prototyping and evaluation. It is designed for developers working with the FT60x series of USB 3.0 SuperSpeed integrated circuits.

Overview

The FTDI UMFT600X Evaluation Board serves as a dedicated development platform for evaluating and prototyping with the FT60x series. Its primary function is to bridge a high-speed 32-bit FIFO (First-In, First-Out) parallel bus to a USB 3.0 host, enabling rapid data transfer and communication testing between a computer and external digital hardware.

Key Features

• USB 3.0 SuperSpeed (5 Gbps), USB 2.0 High-Speed (480 Mbps) and Full-Speed (12 Mbps) data transfer support
• 32-bit FIFO parallel bus with four dedicated IN and four dedicated OUT channels
• Support for 1.8 V, 2.5 V and 3.3 V I/O voltage levels
• Powering via external DC input, USB host bus power, or the FMC/HSMC connector
• Low pin count FMC (FPGA Mezzanine Card) connector for the primary FIFO bus interface
• Alternative HSMC (High-Speed Mezzanine Card) footprint
• Hardware reset button
• Remote wake-up capability
• Micro-USB 3.0 receptacle for host connection

Compatibility

The onboard FMC connector is compatible with most Xilinx FPGA reference boards, while the HSMC footprint supports Altera (now Intel) FPGA platforms. This supports FPGA-based system design and accelerates development cycles for USB 3.0 interface projects.

Specifications
