The maximum cable length supported by the FT4232HPQ-REEL is approximately 3 meters (10 feet) for full-speed devices and 1.5 meters (5 feet) for low-speed devices, assuming a good quality cable with proper shielding and termination.
Yes, the FT4232HPQ-REEL can operate with a 5V power supply, but it is recommended to use a 3.3V power supply to ensure compatibility with most USB devices and to reduce power consumption.
The FT4232HPQ-REEL can be configured for I2C or SPI mode using the MPSSE (Multi-Protocol Synchronous Serial Engine) commands. The MPSSE commands can be sent to the device using the FTDI Chip's D2XX driver or the FT_PROG programming tool.
Yes, the FT4232HPQ-REEL is compatible with USB 3.0 host controllers, but it will operate at USB 2.0 speeds. The device does not support USB 3.0 SuperSpeed mode.
The FT4232HPQ-REEL supports data transfer rates up to 480 Mbps in USB 2.0 mode and up to 12 Mbps in UART mode.
