Detailed Description
FT51A is a MCU which includes the following features: USB client and USB hub interfaces, 8051 core, 8-bit ADC, UART, SPI, I2C, 245 FIFO and PWM.
The FT51A-EVM demonstrates the FT51A series I2C and SPI interfaces, the ADC input, PWM and GPIO features. It contains a 28 pin header which allows easy access to all the FT51AQ’s IO pins, as well as the debug and reset pins. This module also comes preloaded with the FT51A-EVM firmware that allows users to use all the features of the module without developing firmware.
The FT51A-EVM is fitted with a FT51AQ; many of the features of the FT51A series can be utilized with this module. For a full list of the FT51A series features please see the FT51A datasheet.
