FTDI strengthens distribution of USB connectivity semiconductor devices in Korea

Vinculum bridges the gap between the increasing demand for USB Host function and the high design-in barrier to achieve it. It simplifies the development of USB Host connectivity across a wide range of industrial and commercial products that previously did not have such capability. With just a few components, Vinculum can provide the USB Host port even to a simple microcontroller-based product, for example, allowing use of USB flash drives on a portable data logger.

YS Ahn, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, AWC, comments, “We are delighted to add FTDI’s line-up to our portfolio. Their USB connectivity IC products are well respected by designers across Europe and the US. We believe that we complement their product expertise by providing local inventory and design-in support, and value-added integration through all our branded embedded semiconductor device line-ups. There is a growing demand for USB connectivity spanning almost every electronic product made. FTDI can deliver both slave and host bridge ICs to meet this need.”
