VNC1L-USB HOST CONTROLLER DEVICE

VNC1L – Vinculum USB Host Controller Device The VNC1L is the first generation device of the FTDI Vinculum family of USB Host / Slave Controller ICs, which are designed to deliver USB Host level interfacing capabilities to embedded applications. The VNC1L features two independent USB Host / Slave ports with an inbuilt 8/32-bit MCU processing core with 4KBytes of RAM program memory and 64KBytes of embedded Flash memory for firmware storage. The VNC1L supports UART, SPI slave and 8-bit parallel FIFO interfaces to enable communication with external processing devices. Further the two USB Ports on the VNC1L can be individually configured by firmware as Host or Slave ports. VNC1L can be programmed with FTDI’s in-house developed firmwares which supports a range of common USB device classes, providing a cost effective, complete, ready-to-use USB interfacing solution. Users do not need to license any USB software stacks or develop USB drivers, indeed no knowledge of USB is required to use these devices. VNC1L is ideal for implementing USB interfacing within existing applications which do not already have USB, example applications include adding USB Flash drive connectivity to a wide range of consumer and industrial products.       Key Hardware Features 8/32 bit V-MCU Core Dual DMA controllers for hardware acceleration 64k Embedded Flash Program Memory 4k internal Data SRAM 2 x USB 2.0 Slow/Full speed Host/Slave Ports UART, SPI and Parallel FIFO interfaces PS2 legacy Keyboard and Mouse Interfaces Up to 28 GPIO pins depending on configuration 3.3V operation with 5V safe inputs Low power operation (25mA running/2mA standby) Supplied with FTDI field upgradeable firmware supporting a range of common USB class devices.  LQFP-48 RoHS compliant package Multi-processor configuration capable Product Information VNC1L Datasheet VNC1L Pre-compiled Firmware Downloads VNC1L Firmware User Manual VNC1L Firmware Customisation Utility Application Note – Data-Logging using the Vinculum VNC1L Application Note – Interfacing to a USB Printer using Vinculum VNC1L Host Controller Application Note – VNC1L Data Transfer Speeds Application Note – VNC1L Bootloader Application Note – VMUSIC SPI Example Application Note – V-Eval Missile Launcher     Typical Applications USB Flash drive interfaces GPS interfaces USB data loggers USB music / media playback interfaces Digital displays Instrumentation and control systems Digital camera interfaces Designed to enable USB connectivity within a range of consumer and industrial applications.
