The USB 2.0 Hi-Speed to MPSSE cables contain a small internal electronic circuit board, utilising the FTDI FT232H, encapsulated into the USB connector end of the cable. This chip handles all the USB signalling and protocols. The cables provide a fast, simple way to connect devices with 3.3 or 5V digital interfaces to USB.
Based on the single chip USB Hi-Speed FT232H device USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mbits/Second) and Full Speed (12Mbits/Second) compatible Entire USB protocol handled on the chip – No USB-specific firmware programming required USB Type A connector for direct connection to a host or hub USB bus powered Fully assisted hardware or X-On / X-Off software handshaking Synchronous Serial (MPSSE) data rates of up to 30Mbps on JTAG, SPI and I²C 1kByte receive and transmit buffers for high data throughput Transmit and receive LED drive signals Adjustable receive buffer timeout Support for USB suspend and resume Low operating and USB suspend current Low USB bandwidth consumption UHCI / OHCI / EHCI host controller compatible Operating temperature range: -40 to +85°C Cable length: 1800mm FTDIs royalty-free D2XX drivers eliminate the requirement for USB driver development in most cases
