FTDI FT600 16-Bit FIFO USB 3.0 Bridge Evaluation Board

FTDI FT600 16-Bit FIFO USB 3.0 Bridge Evaluation Board provides a USB 3.0 SuperSpeed bridge from a 16-bit FIFO bus for prototyping high-speed data transfer solutions. It supports interfacing FT60x series USB 3.0 integrated circuits with external hardware.

Overview

The board supports USB 3.0 SuperSpeed at 5Gbps, USB 2.0 High-Speed at 480Mbps, and USB 2.0 Full-Speed at 12Mbps, offering flexibility across a range of performance requirements. It features a 16-bit FIFO bus with four dedicated IN channels and four OUT channels for efficient bidirectional data flow.

Key Features

• Multi-voltage I/O supporting 1.8V, 2.5V, and 3.3V levels
• FMC and HSMC high-speed FIFO bus connector form factors
• Power options via external DC supply, USB bus, or FMC/HSMC connector from the host board
• Integrated hardware reset and remote wake-up functions
• Micro-USB 3.0 Type B interface

Connectivity

The FMC connector is designed for compatibility with most Xilinx FPGA reference boards, while the HSMC connector aligns with Altera (now Intel) FPGA development platforms. This allows integration with a range of FPGA development systems.
