FT245BM

The FT245BM is a high-speed USB to parallel FIFO interface IC component manufactured by FTDI (Future Technology Devices International). It is widely used for data transfer applications, especially in areas where a high-speed data interface between USB and parallel bus is required. Here is an overview of the key features of the FT245BM: 1. USB Interface: The FT245BM supports the USB 2.0 specification, providing high-speed (480 Mbps) communication between the device and the USB host. It is compliant with USB Bulk Transfer mode, making it ideal for transferring large amounts of data. 2. Parallel FIFO Interface: The IC component integrates a 8-bit parallel FIFO (First-In-First-Out) interface, allowing easy interfacing with external parallel devices. The FIFO can hold up to 256 bytes of data, enabling efficient data buffering. 3. Multi-Function Modes: The FT245BM offers four operating modes - Asynchronous Bit-Bang, Synchronous Bit-Bang, Multi-Protocol Synchronous Serial Interface (MPSSE), and CPU-style FIFO mode. This flexibility enables the component to be used in a wide range of applications. 4. Low USB Bandwidth Consumption: The IC component utilizes FTDI's proprietary FT232BM/FT245BM USB driver, resulting in low USB bandwidth consumption. This feature ensures efficient use of USB resources while maintaining high-speed data transfer
