VNC1L-1A-TRAY

Controllers Overview

The VNC1L-1A-TRAY is an embedded USB host controller IC from the Vinculum series by FTDI. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 3.6V and draws a maximum supply current of 25mA. The device supports USB 2.0 protocols and provides SPI and UART interface standards for system communication. It is housed in a 48-LQFP package with dimensions of 7x7 mm. The component is rated for operation across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Controllers Feature Summary

• Embedded USB host controller functionality
• Supports SPI and UART interface standards
• Compatible with USB 2.0 protocol

Controllers Applications

• Development of embedded USB host systems
• Evaluation of Vinculum VNC1 series devices using platforms like V-EVAL
• Integration into hardware requiring standalone USB host capabilities

Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix, as 'TRAY' indicates tray packaging which may differ from reel or bulk options. Confirm that the 'NRND' (Not Recommended for New Designs) status aligns with long-term project requirements. Ensure compatibility with existing firmware tools and evaluation boards such as VDIP2 or V-EVAL for development purposes.

Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated embedded USB host controller is required without external microcontroller overhead. Consider the 48-LQFP package size for PCB layout constraints. Verify that the 3V to 3.6V operating voltage matches the target system power rails. Evaluate the trade-off between the VNC1L's single-host capability and the dual-host features of the VNC2 series if higher bandwidth or multiple ports are needed.

Controllers Part Context

This part belongs to the Vinculum family of USB controllers, specifically the VNC1L variant designed for embedded applications. It serves as a standalone solution for adding USB host connectivity to designs. Related components include the VNC1L-1A in different packaging and the VNC2 series for more complex dual-host requirements.

Controllers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Designers should consult official FTDI resources for potential obsolescence management strategies given the NRND status.
