FTDI
FTDI is a professional semiconductor company headquartered in Glasgow, UK, with 15 years history and market awareness especially in Europe and US and are specialists in converting legacy peripherals to Universal Serial Bus (USB). They offer the easiest route to USB migration by combining USB Serial (USB RS232) and USB FIFO silicon solutions with their ready-to-go royalty free USB drivers.
FTDI's competing advantage lies in providing complete solutions to lead the market demands by chips, reference designs, firmwares, softwares, and evaluation modules, in order to assist the customers to easily finish the design-in in a short time frame with quality end products.FTDI's "total" solutions offer reduced development and debug costs and a fast time to market.
FTDI is well known by its leading position in USB connectivity semiconductor solution development, specifically for the end applications of communication, industrial control, medical, and instrument. Now it has also successfully taken a position in the digital consumer application.
FTDI's team of highly qualified and experienced hardware and software engineers also offer full custom IC design services and a turnkey product design and manufacturing service using trusted sub-contract manufacturers in the Asia Pacific region.
Now FTDI offers a wide range of easy to use USB Host and Slave bridge chips supporting UART, FIFO, SPI, and I�C control interfaces, together with complete drivers and firmwares support kits. It also offers a series of evaluation modules and cables to support the customers’ design-in phase.
FTDI has established a global sales and support network, including two branches located in US and Taiwan, respectively.
