VDRIVE3-LD FTDI

VDrive3 Datasheet Version 1.3 Document Reference No.: FT 000699 Clearance No.: FTDI 335 Future Technology Devices International Ltd Datasheet VDrive3 Vinculum-II Application Module VDrive3 is a USB host/microcontroller application module with an enclosure. The default firmware of the VDrive3 supports UART/SPI communications with the embedded USB host controller and USB host port. This product provides an attractive solution for quick and easy integration of applications with a USB flash disk or other USB client devices. 1.1 Features 1 Introduction VDrive3 is designed to support quick and Vinculum-II microcontroller/USB host easy integration of a UART/SPI application controller IC. with a USB client device. The VDrive3 comes in a neat enclosure displaying a bi- Pre-programmed with V2DAP firmware. colour LED, making it suitable for (Flash Drives up to 8GByte have been tested.) incorporating into finished product designs. In addition, a product option, VDrive3-LD, is Product available as shown or with a lid available that offers a lid to cover the USB covering the USB port. port to provide protection in harsh environments. USB A type socket to connect to USB client devices. The VDrive3 utilises FTDIs Vinculum-II (VNC2-48L1B) dual USB host controller IC. 2mm (0.08) pitch 8 pin header used for the This IC is a microcontroller and USB host UART/SPI interface. controller it is reprogrammable using the UART interface or the Vinculum-II debugger Connects directly and communicates with a module connecter. The default firmware is FTDI TTL-232R-3V3-2mm USB-UART cable. V2DAP this firmware establishes the UART/SPI to USB host interface and can be Jumper selectable UART and SPI interfaces, modified or replaced with other firmware. both operating at 3.3V TTL/CMOS. V2DAP is firmware that supports Vinculum- II to Vinculum backward compatibility*. The Vinculum-II debugger module port under Vinculum-II IDE and FTDIs expanding neat enclosure, for changing the firmware. range of drivers allow for additional design flexibility (including Android interfacing).
