The PIC18F4550 Flash PIC microcontrollers feature full-speed USB 2.0 connectivity and 48MHz operation, for 12Mbit/s data-transfer rates.
In combination with a wide variety of on-chip peripherals and NanoWatt Technology power management, these features provide a complete embedded-control solution for designers working with USB in industrial, consumer and many other embedded applications.
Jungo's WinDriver product family offers two powerful toolkits designed to facilitate the development of high-performance and top-quality USB device drivers and device firmware for PIC18F4550-based designs.
WinDriver enables the development of user-mode device drivers that are code-compatible across Windows, Windows CE and Linux, supporting various architectural configurations.
WinDriver USB device generated firmware handles the standard USB protocol and supports the development of multiple interfaces and alternate settings in firmware code.
