FTDI Chip Vinco Development Modules

FTDI Vinco Development Modules are used to create a low-cost development platform featuring a USB Host/Slave controller with integrated 16-bit CPU, unleashes new possibilities for cost-effective embedded design. The Vinco is inspired by the Arduino concept and shares the same form factor as the Arduino Duemilanove / Uno with two extra rows of headers. The Vinco platform allows designers to integrate powerful USB 2.0 interfacing by incorporating the FTDI Vinculum-II VNC2-64 dual-channel Host/Slave controller. With the capability of interfacing with the growing range of I/O application boards (shields) developed by the Arduino open-source community. The VNC2 combines a 16-bit/48MHz CPU core, 256KBytes of Flash memory, and 16KBytes of SRAM memory while also providing support for external UART, FIFO, PWM, GPIO, and SPI Slave/Master interfaces.

The  Vinco Development Module integrates an 8-channel, 10-bit ADC and also supports 38 GPIO connections and USB A and mini B (host and device) connectors on a board measuring just 55.38mm x 68.58mm. The FTDI Vinco platform brings together all of the hardware and software needed for the rapid development of innovative embedded systems.
