FT600/601 SuperSpeed USB 3.0 to 16/32 bit FIFO interface bridge offers an alternative to Ethernet for high-speed high-volume data transfers.
This is an archive article published 12/03/2015. Some information may no longer be up to date and in line with the current state. Please contact us in case of interest.
One of the most important USB 3.0 improvements is new transfer type called SuperSpeed which can achieve 3.2 Gbit/s (400 MB/s) or more in practice. Data acquisition systems, FPGA and MCU based development boards, high resolution video cameras and displays now can use FT600/601 and take advantages of USB3.0.To format incoming data into FIFO bus compatible protocol a FPGA can be used.

To speed-up development we offers FTDI UMFT600A and UMFT601A high speed mezzanine card (HSMC interface) with 16-bit and 32-bit wide FIFO. The HSMC interface is compatible with the most of Altera FPGA reference design boards like Terasic P0150; Cyclone V GX Starter Kit. FTDI application note AN377 provides step-by-step instruction how to use UMFT600A, UMFT601A with this starter kit.

The first samples of FT600Q-T, FT601Q-T, UMFT600A and UMFT601A can be found in our stock. For more information please visit our FTDI info pages. For summary of FTDI USB solution please see USB brochure.
