Understanding FT2232D-REEL and Common Causes of Communication Failures
The FT2232D-REEL USB Interface Chip, produced by FTDI (Future Technology Devices International), is a versatile and popular solution for USB-to-serial communication. Widely used in embedded systems, industrial equipment, and consumer electronics, it allows for the easy integration of USB interfaces with UART, I2C, SPI, and other protocols. However, like all hardware components, it can occasionally experience communication failures that can halt projects and cause frustration for engineers and developers. This first part of the article will focus on understanding the FT2232D-REEL and exploring the most common causes of communication failure.
