Introduction
The UM245R is a development module which uses FTDI‟s FT245RL, the latest device to be added to FTDI‟s
range of USB to parallel FIFO interface Integrated Circuit Devices. The FT245R is a USB to parallel FIFO
interface, with the new FTDIChip-ID™ security dongle feature. In addition, asynchronous and synchronous
bit bang interface modes are available. USB to parallel designs using the FT245R have been further
simplified by fully integrating the external EEPROM, clock circuit and USB resistors onto the device. The
FT245R adds a new function compared with its predecessors, effectively making it a “2-in-1” chip for some
application areas. A unique number (the FTDIChip-ID™) is burnt into the device during manufacture and is
readable over USB, thus forming the basis of a security dongle which can be used to protect customer
application software from being copied. The UM245R is supplied on a PCB which is designed to plug into a
standard 15.0mm (0.6”) wide 24 pin DIP socket. All components used, including the FT245RL are Pb-free
(RoHS compliant).
