The FT311D multi-interface Android host IC is launched today. Providing an instant bridge from your Android USB port(B) to peripheral hardware over GPIO, UART, PWM, I2C Master, SPI Slave or SPI Master interfaces.

Simply select the interface mode with pull up/pull down resistors on the FT311D mode select pins and plug into your Android (3.1 or later) device to access peripheral hardware over USB via Androids’ Open Accessory Mode. With this new chip, system providers can enhance connectivity to this popular mobile ecosystem, with the ability to create user applications that capitalize on Android platform resources; high-performance processing, accelerometers, touch-screen interfaces, etc.

Also included in the launch of the FT311D, are development modules and a suite of Android software examples allowing for rapid test and creation of new and exciting applications.
