FT200XD-T USB to I2C Interface Board by FTDI

The FT200XD-T is a compact USB to I2C interface board from FTDI, Future Technology Devices International Ltd, designed to provide a seamless and efficient bridge between USB data transfer protocols and I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) devices. This innovative product is part of FTDI's USB to serial interface range and is perfect for developers and engineers who require a simple method for connecting I2C devices to a USB port on a PC or other host systems.

At the heart of the FT200XD-T is FTDI's FT200XD IC, a USB to I2C interface chip which is capable of handling data transfer rates up to 3.4 Mbits/s in I2C mode. The chip supports the full I2C protocol, and it includes an integrated battery charger detection feature, making it suitable for battery charger applications. The board is designed to be used with FTDI's royalty-free drivers, which provide virtual COM port (VCP) or Direct (D2XX) drivers, thus facilitating the ease of integrating the device with your existing software.

The FT200XD-T is highly versatile, with configurable CBUS I/O pins that can be used for additional functionality such as clock output, TX and RX LEDs, or other custom options. It also features a USB 2.0 Full Speed compatible interface and is configurable for various I2C bus speeds, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of I2C devices.

For power management, the FT200XD-T has an integrated +3.3V level converter for USB I/O, simplifying the design process by negating the need for additional level shifting. Its compact form factor and minimal external components requirement make it an ideal solution for implementing USB in space-constrained applications. Additionally, the device is USB bus-powered, or it can be powered externally through a 3.3V supply, offering flexibility for various use cases.

FTDI's commitment to quality is evident in the FT200XD-T, which is fully compliant with USB 2.0 specifications and has been designed to meet the stringent requirements of industrial applications. Whether you're developing new applications or upgrading existing systems, the FT200XD-T offers a reliable and straightforward solution for integrating USB connectivity with I2C-based devices.
