FT4232HQ-REEL

The FT4232H is a USB 2.0 High Speed (480Mb/s) to UART/MPSSE ICs. The device features 4 UARTs. Two of these have an option to independently configure an MPSSE engine. This allows the FT4232H to operate as two UART/Bit-Bang ports plus two MPSSE engines used to emulate JTAG, SPI, I²C, Bit-bang or other synchronous serial modes.
