monsonite Posted August 25, 2015 Report Share Posted August 25, 2015 Jack, The FT2232H has become a popular device for connecting PCs to FPGAs - as used in most of the Papilio FPGA boards. My question is - is it possible to use the MPSSE to provide a synchronous 8 bit port with control lines to read a flash ADC (say Channel A), whilst running Channel B as a 12 bit interface - using the bit banged I/O lines, plus some control lines to write to some 12 bit DACs. Is the MPSSE command processor flexible enough to do that? I am looking for a cheap way to connect an 8 bit flash ADC to a PC, plus a couple of 12 bit DACs - the FT2232 looks almost perfect - provided that the MPSSE is flexible enough. Advice appreciated - Thanks in advance Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offroad Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 Hi, There are variants of the FT devices that provide two independent ports (e.g. Signalyzer H4 contains one).Now if I had to solve the problem today, I'd probably pick an mbed LPC1768 and save myself the trouble.

Jack Gassett Posted September 7, 2015 Report Share Posted September 7, 2015 Ken, As long as your ADC speaks a common serial protocol then the MPSSE will be flexible enough to speak to it. Jack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
