App Note: Using FT2232H in FT245 synchronus FIFO mode
Ftdi’s FT2232H chip is a very useful device, it has two USB channels supporting the High speed USB standard. When the highest bandwidth is needed, the FT245 synchronous FIFO mode provides the best performance delivering up to 40MB/s transfer rates.
This app note by FTDI provides all the necessary information to get this mode started. Connection pinouts, timing diagrams, EEPROM setup, as well as software code examples are provided in this article.
Our FT2232 breakout board is in stock at seeed and available for $27

There’s some year old working code on the forum

that was a test to what could be done with 2232H. It shows that with addition of some large cpld or small fpga to buffer data and handle triggering a very simple fairly high frequency no length limit LA could be designed :D
