FTDI's latest USB 3.0 bridge chip supports video (UVC) operation

The FT602 chip supports video content streams transmitted by high-definition camera devices. This means that imaging systems that previously only were able to transmit relatively low resolution video can boost fairly high video quality and still operate at a 60 fps frame rate. Performance improvements can be achieved by viewing standard imagery data from standard UVC hardware and a common media player platform such as a VLC player. This ensures greater convenience, whether you upgrade an existing system or design and deploy a new system from scratch. No need to customize the driver, just plug and play directly.

The FT602 series enhances the FT600 and FT601 products already offered by FTDI Chip, providing development engineers with the industry's most comprehensive portfolio of USB 3.0 products. These latest chips offer USB 3.0 ultra-high speed (5Gbps) and USB 2.0 high speed (480Mbps) interfaces. Both support 32-bit parallel FIFO interface for data flow and UART interface for control path configuration. Available in a 76-pin QFN package with an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. Key applications for this family of chips include surveillance/security, computer vision, home/building automation, metrology, real-time microscopy and more. Fred Dart, founder and CEO of FTDI, said: "There are many different areas where there is a strong demand for high quality video, because of the more details of instant inspection and identification, low resolution video will not be available." He concluded: "With USB 3.0 support for UVC solutions, we will have a good positioning to address the growing demand, whether it is to reduce the difficulty of HD video system development, or to reduce the cost associated with the system, has always been The core of FTDI technology advancement. From the earliest USB to this new chip, we show that we are still following the USB to the next generation."
