Digi-Key – Development board has Arduino inspired dual-channel USB host/slave controller (VNCLO-MB1A)

Now available from Digi-Key – FTDI’s Vinco platform allows designers to integrate powerful USB 2.0 interfacing by incorporating FTDI’s Vinculum II VNC2-64 dual-channel host/slave controller with the capability of interfacing with the growing range of I/O application boards (shields) developed by the Arduino open-source community. The VNC2 combines a 16-bit, 48 MHz CPU core, 256 Kbytes of Flash memory, 16 Kbytes of SRAM memory, and provides support for external UART, FIFO, PWM, GPIO, and SPI Slave/Master interfaces.

The Vinco platform brings together all of the hardware and software needed for rapid development of innovative, cost-effective embedded systems, says the company.
