Title: Future of FT232H, FT2232H, FT4232H?
Post by: cioma on October 24, 2020, 12:02:11 PM

Could FTDI please let us know if they are going to release new devices similar to FT232H, FT2232H, FT4232H in the future?

My ideal devices would be:

- High-speed USB
- 1, 2, 4, 8 channel device variants
- UART, MPSSE, bit bang on every channel
- xDBUS[7:0] ports only, no need for xCBUS[7:0] ports
- At least 8 kByte RX FIFO buffer and 8 kByte TX FIFO buffer for each channel
- At least 100 MHz internal clock (vs the current 60 MHz)
- Each port pin shall be independently configurable as open-drain
- Support for all SPI modes
- Support for I2C clock stretching
- Support for I2C multi-master
- Small QFN package with 0.5 mm pin pitch

Are you aware of our FT4222H device?

The FT4222H is a High/Full Speed USB2.0-to-Quad SPI/I2C device controller in a compact 32-pin QFN package

Thanks for the information.

But what I really interested in is MPSSE engine so FT4222H is not suitable for my needs as I need JTAG, I2C, SPI, Microwire, MDIO interfaces.
