Compact evaluation modules eases integration and development of USB 2.0 High Speed interfaces Logo
 
 

Future Technology Devices International (FTDI) today announced the availability of two evaluation modules to support their recently announced FT2232H and
FT4232H USB 2.0 High Speed devices, which have the capability of being configured in a variety of industry standard serial or parallel interfaces such as
UART or FIFO. The module PCB measures just 36mm (L) x 30mm (W) x 12mm (H–including connector pins). Each module provides access to all the required
signals through two 26 way (2 rows, 0.1” pitch) male headers measuring 32.9mm x 5.08mm. The pin length is 6mm. The FT2232H_mini-module provides two independent configurable interfaces while the FT4232H_mini_module offers four such channels.

Bluegiga provides Health Device Profile for its Bluetooth OEM Modules Logo
 
 

Bluegiga announced that its OEM Bluetooth modules are now available with Bluetooth Health Device Profile (HDP). The Health Device profile is integrated into Bluegiga’s iWRAP firmware, running inside the Bluegiga module, significantly simplifying and reducing the need for engineering and testing time for any type of health or medical device. Bluegiga’s Health Device Bluetooth profile with Bluegiga OEM module helps to develop wireless features into existing or new devices with very limited amount of engineering. The Health Device Profile is available for both Bluegiga WT11 Class 1 module and Bluegiga WT12 Class 2 module which use CSR silicon and run Bluegiga’s iWRAP Bluetooth connectivity firmware. Bluegiga is the first in the world to offer HDP for CSR based silicon.  Bluegiga Access Servers and Access Points will support the HDP Bluetooth Profile later in 2009, enabling integrators to setup secure and reliable telehealth networks utilizing Bluetooth.
