Product Overview
The FT4232HL-TRAY from FTDI Chip is a quad-channel USB 2.0 Hi-Speed to UART/FIFO/MPSSE bridge IC in a 64-pin LQFP package. Providing four independent serial channels (two configurable as UART, two as UART or FIFO) with Hi-Speed USB (480 Mbps) support, it enables multi-interface connectivity for industrial, embedded, and debug applications.
