FT240XQ-T

Controllers Overview

The FT240XQ-T is a USB to parallel FIFO interface controller manufactured by FTDI. It implements the USB 2.0 Full Speed protocol with a maximum data rate of 12 Mb/s. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.97 V to 5.5 V and draws approximately 8 mA during operation. It supports an extended industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. The component is housed in a QFN-24 surface-mount package and is supplied in tray packaging, as indicated by the 'T' suffix.

Controllers Feature Summary

• Provides a glue-less bridge between USB and parallel FIFO interfaces without requiring external firmware programming.
• Integrates full USB protocol handling on-chip, eliminating the need for specific USB firmware development.
• Supports standard USB 2.0 Full Speed communication for reliable data transfer.

Controllers Applications

• USB to parallel FIFO bridge implementations
• Industrial control systems requiring robust serial-to-parallel conversion
• Embedded devices needing direct USB connectivity without complex host drivers

Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the part number suffix against official documentation to confirm packaging type. The 'T' suffix typically denotes tray packaging, which differs from cut tape or reel options. Ensure compatibility with existing board layouts for the QFN-24 footprint. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's current certification documents before finalizing procurement orders.

Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated USB to parallel FIFO solution is required for Full Speed applications. Consider the QFN-24 package constraints for PCB design. Evaluate power consumption requirements against the 8 mA typical operating current. Compare against other FT240 series variants if different packaging or speed capabilities are needed for the specific application environment.

Controllers Part Context

This component belongs to the FT240 series of USB interface ICs designed for parallel FIFO applications. It serves as a specialized bridge controller within FTDI's portfolio of USB-to-serial and parallel interface solutions. The series is engineered to simplify system integration by handling USB protocols internally.

Controllers Replacement Considerations

Check for FT240XQ-R or FT240XQ-B variants if different packaging formats such as cut tape or mouse reel are preferred. Verify electrical pinouts and specifications remain identical across these suffixes before substitution.
