Development modules interface FTDI's FT60x USB 3.0 SuperSpeed IC with hardware

FTDI's UMFT60xA and UMFT60xX range of evaluation / development modules is now available from Digi-Key. They are available with either high-speed mezzanine card (HSMC) or field-programmable mezzanine card (FMC) (LPC) connectors for interfacing FTDI's FT60x USB 3.0 SuperSpeed IC with external hardware. The series allows for bridging a FIFO bus to a USB 3.0 host and evaluating the functionality of the FT60x. As a daughter card, the UMFT60xx must work with a FIFO master board which has either an FMC or HSMC connector. There are four models which provide different FIFO bus interfaces and data bit widths. The series supports two parallel slave FIFO bus protocols (multi-channel FIFO / 245 synchronous FIFO) with a data 'burst' rate of up to 400MB/s.
