Lots of chat about the FTDI chips here, but I've also used the Atmel
AT90USB162 chips. 32-pin TQFP, runs from 5V (provides a regulated
3.3V 50ma output) includes the usual small MCU stuff like USART,
timers, comparator and SPI. Cheap--about $2 and change Q1.
Anyone else like this little chip or am I just strange?
