F600/FT601 Series Driver

The F600/FT601 Series driver can be downloaded on here. Moreover, the FT600 and FT601 SuperSpeed USB3.0 ICs enable faster and higher volume data transfers than ever before. Consequently, they provide USB access to a wider range of data intensive imaging and data acquisition applications.

F600/FT601 Series Driver

Furthermore, the series incorporates two vendor class USB devices supported by the D3XX driver. These devices, namely the FT600 and FT601, function as SuperSpeed USB3.0 to FIFO bridges, providing up to 5Gbps of bandwidth. The FT600, available in a 56-pin QFN package, features a 16-bit wide FIFO bus interface, while the FT601, offered in a 76-pin package, boasts a 32-bit wide FIFO bus interface.

Both chips offer support for up to 8 endpoints, accompanied by 2 additional communication endpoints, thereby allowing the creation of up to 4 data IN and 4 data OUT channels. Moreover, they facilitate double buffering of up to 4kByte length for IN and 4kByte for OUT.

Hardware Features

Likewise this supports various USB transfer speeds. In addition including USB3.0 SuperSpeed (5Gbps). Thus the USB High Speed (480Mbps), and USB 2.0 Full Speed (12Mbps), is available. Moreover, it is accompanied by a choice between a 16-bit or 32-bit wide parallel FIFO interface.

Furthermore, the device supports two parallel slave FIFO bus protocols. Likewise enabling a data bursting rate of up to 400MBps. It also facilitates a multi-channel FIFO interface for enhanced functionality. Additionally, it offers flexibility with up to 8 configurable endpoints (pipes) and features a built-in 16kB FIFO data buffer RAM.

In terms of compatibility, the device supports multi-voltage I/O, with options for 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V. It also incorporates configurable GPIO support, allowing for versatile usage. Furthermore, it provides capabilities such as Remote Wakeup and USB Battery Charger Detection.

To ensure reliable performance, the device includes an integrated power-on-reset circuit. It also boasts an extended operating temperature range, ranging from -40°C to 85°C. Lastly, it is available in compact Pb-free QFN-56 (16-bit FT600) and QFN-76 (32-bit FT601) packages, catering to different application requirements.

Usage Application

By upgrading legacy peripherals to USB. In addition you can leverage the benefits of system modularity. Likewise this involves incorporating a USB interface to facilitate PC transfers for development system communication. Additionally, USB technology can be utilized for cellular and cordless phone data transfer cables and interfaces.

Moreover, USB can serve as an interface for connecting PLD/FPGA based designs to USB3.0, Likewise enabling seamless integration. In addition it also provides a reliable digital video camera interface with USB3.0 capabilities. Furthermore, this USB3.0 can be utilized as an interface for printers, scanners, as well as medical and industrial imaging devices.

Additionally, USB3.0 proves useful in the field of instrumentation, offering a versatile and high-speed connectivity solution. Lastly, it supports USB software-defined radio, allowing for efficient communication and data transmission.

Hardware Example

Likewise the FT600Q-B-T which is a USB 3.0 to FIFO Bridge. This USB Bridge is a USB to FIFO USB 3.0 FIFO Interface 56-QFN (7×7). Always buy your chips from reputable sellers such as Digi-Key Electronics or Mouser Electronics. There are many fake chips on the market giving people installation problems and usability problems. Digi-Key Electronics and Mouser Electronics will sell you the authentic hardware.
