Vinculum Accessories

Several accessories are available to complement FTDI's Vinculum products.  The products listed below allow commands to be sent to the VNC1L from a PC USB port via the UART and can also provide a fast route to reprogramming the VNC1L Flash memory.

 VPROG1 FT232R-based VNC1L programmer module.  Up to 10 VPROG1 units can be used simultaneously to rapidly program Vinculum ICs and modules with a selected firmware library using the VNC_PROG application.
TTL-232R-3V3 FT232R-based USB-TTL level serial cable for interfacing to VNC1L UART allowing commands to be sent to the VNC1L from a PC.  Can also be used to program VNC1L firmware using the VPROG application.  Compatible with 6-pin header on VF2F, VDRIVE1 and VMUSIC1 modules.
MM232R Small USB -TTL level serial module suitable for interfacing to VNC1L UART.  Can also be used to update VNC1L firmware using the VPROG application and is capable of programmatically controlling the PROG# and RESET# pins.
UM232R DIP format USB-TTL level serial module suitable for interfacing to VNC1L UART.  Can also be used to update VNC1L firmware using the VPROG application and is capable of programmatically controlling the PROG# and RESET# pins.
