1.1 Driver Support

The FT2232H requires USB drivers (listed below) , available free from http://www.ftdichip.com, which

are used to make the FT2232H appear as a virtual COM port (VCP). This allows the user to communicate

with the USB interface via a standard PC serial emulation port (for example TTY). Another FTDI USB

driver, the D2XX driver, can also be used with application software to directly access the FT2232H

through a DLL.

3.4.2 FT2232H pins used in an FT245 Style Synchronous FIFO Interface

The FT2232H only channel A can be configured as a FT245 style synchronous FIFO interface. When

configured in this mode, the pins used and the descriptions of the signals are shown in Table 3.5. To

enter this mode the external EEPROM must be set to make port A 245 mode. A software command (Set

Bit Mode option) is then sent by the application to the FTDI driver to tell the chip to enter single channel

synchronous FIFO mode. In this mode the ‘B’ channel is not available as all resources have been switched

onto channel A. In this mode, data is written or read on the falling edge of the CLKOUT.

Channel A

Pin No. Name Type RS245 Configuration Description

24,23,22,21,

19,18,17,16 ADBUS[7:0] I/O D7 to D0 bidirectional FIFO data. This bus is normally input

unless OE# is low.

26 RXF# OUTPUT

When high, do not read data from the FIFO. When low, there is

data available in the FIFO which can be read by driving RD#

low. When in synchronous mode, data is transferred on every

clock that RXF# and RD# are both low. Note that the OE# pin

must be driven low at least 1 clock period before asserting RD#

low.

27 TXE# OUTPUT

When high, do not write data into the FIFO. When low, data can

be written into the FIFO by driving WR# low. When in

synchronous mode, data is transferred on every clock that TXE#

and WR# are both low.

28 RD# INPUT

Enables the current FIFO data byte to be driven onto D0...D7

when RD# goes low. The next FIFO data byte (if available) is

fetched from the receive FIFO buffer each CLKOUT cycle until

RD# goes high.

29 WR# INPUT

Enables the data byte on the D0...D7 pins to be written into the

transmit FIFO buffer when WR# is low. The next FIFO data byte

is written to the transmit FIFO buffer each CLKOUT cycle until

WR# goes high.

32 CLKOUT OUTPUT 60 MHz Clock driven from the chip. All signals should be

synchronized to this clock.

33 OE# INPUT

Output enable when low to drive data onto D0-7. This should be

driven low at least 1 clock period before driving RD# low to

allow for data buffer turn-around.

30 SIWU INPUT

The Send Immediate / WakeUp signal combines two functions

on a single pin. If USB is in suspend mode (PWREN# = 1) and

remote wakeup is enabled in the EEPROM , strobing this pin

low will cause the device to request a resume on the USB Bus.

Normally, this can be used to wake up the Host PC.

During normal operation (PWREN# = 0), if this pin is strobed

low any data in the device TX buffer will be sent out over USB

The FT2232H channel A or channel B can be configured as a FT245 asynchronous FIFO interface. When

configured in this mode, the pins used and the descriptions of the signals are shown in Table 3.6. To

enter this mode the external EEPROM must be set to make port A or B or both 245 mode. In this mode,

data is written or read on the falling edge of the RD# or WR# signals.

I/O D7 to D0 bidirectional FIFO data. This bus is

normally input unless RD# is low.

26 48 RXF# OUTPUT

When high, do not read data from the FIFO. When

low, there is data available in the FIFO which can be

read by driving RD# low. When RD# goes high again

RXF# will always go high and only become low again

if there is another byte to read. During reset this

signal pin is tri-state, but pulled up to VCCIO via an

internal 200kΩ resistor.

27 52 TXE# OUTPUT

When high, do not write data into the FIFO. When

low, data can be written into the FIFO by strobing

WR# high, then low. During reset this signal pin is tri-

state, but pulled up to VCCIO via an internal 200kΩ

resistor.

28 53 RD# INPUT

Enables the current FIFO data byte to be driven onto

D0...D7 when RD# goes low. Fetches the next FIFO

data byte (if available) from the receive FIFO buffer

when RD# goes high.

29 54 WR# INPUT

Writes the data byte on the D0...D7 pins into the

transmit FIFO buffer when WR# goes from high to

low.

30 55 SIWU INPUT

The Send Immediate / WakeUp signal combines two

functions on a single pin. If USB is in suspend mode

(PWREN# = 1) and remote wakeup is enabled in the

EEPROM , strobing this pin low will cause the device

to request a resume on the USB Bus. Normally, this

can be used to wake up the Host PC.

During normal operation (PWREN# = 0), if this pin is

strobed low any data in the device TX buffer will be

sent out over USB on the next Bulk-IN request from

the drivers regardless of the pending packet size.

This can be used to optimize USB transfer speed for

some applications. Tie this pin to VCCIO if not used.

3.4.5 FT2232H pins used in an MPSSE

The FT2232H channel A and channel B each have a Multi-Protocol Synchronous Serial Engine (MPSSE).

Each MPSSE can be independently configured to a number of industry standard serial interface protocols

such as JTAG, I2C or SPI, or it can be used to implement a proprietary bus protocol. For example, it is

possible to use one of the FT2232H’s channels to connect to an SRAM configurable FPGA such as supplied

by Altera or Xilinx. The FPGA device would normally be un-configured (i.e. have no defined function) at

power-up. Application software on the PC could use the MPSSE to download configuration data to the FPGA

over USB. This data would define the hardware function on power up. The other FT2232H channel would be

available for another function. Alternatively each MPSSE can be used to control a number of GPIO pins.

FT2232H DUAL HIGH SPEED USB TO MULTIPURPOSE UART/FIFO IC

Datasheet Version 2.01

Clearance No.: FTDI#77

4 Function Description

The FT2232H USB 2.0 High Speed (480Mb/s) to UART/FIFO is one of FTDI’s 5

generation of Ics. It has the

capability of being configured in a variety of industry standard serial or parallel interfaces.

The FT2232H has two independent configurable interfaces. Each interface can be configured as UART,

FIFO, JTAG, SPI, I2C or bit-bang mode with independent baud rate generators. In addition to these, the

FT2232H supports a host bus emulation mode, a CPU interface FIFO mode and a fast opto-isolated serial

interface mode.

4.1

Key Features

USB High Speed to Dual Interface. The FT2232H is a USB 2.0 High Speed (480Mbits/s) to dual

independent flexible and configurable parallel/serial interfaces.

Functional Integration. The FT2232H integrates a USB protocol engine which controls the physical

Universal Transceiver Macrocell Interface (UTMI) and handles all aspects of the USB 2.0 High Speed

interface. The FT222H includes an integrated +1.8V Low Drop-Out (LDO) regulator and 12MHz to 480MHz

PLL. It also includes 4kbytes Tx and Rx data buffers per interface. The FT2232H effectively integrates the

entire USB protocol on a chip with no firmware required.

MPSSE.Multi-Purpose Synchronous Serial Engines (MPSSE), capable of speeds up to 30 Mbits/s, provides

flexible synchronous interface configurations.

Data Transfer rate. The FT2232H support s a data transfer rate up to 12 Mbaud when configured as an

RS232/RS422/RS485 UART interface or greater than 25 Mbytes/second over a synchronous parallel FIFO

interface.

4.2

Functional Block Descriptions

Dual Multi-Purpose UART/FIFO Controllers. The FT2232H has two independent UART/FIFO Controllers.

These control the UART data, 245 fifo data, opto isolation (Fast Serial) or control the Bit-Bang mode if

selected by SETUP command. Each Multi-Purpose UART/FIFO Controller also contain an MPSSE (Multi

Protocol Synchronous Serial Engine) which can be used independently of each other. Using this MPSSE,

the Multi-Purpose UART/FIFO Controller can be configured, under software command, to have 1 MPSSE +

1 UART / 245 FIFO (each UART / 245 can be set to Bit Bang mode to gain extra I/O if required) or 2

MPSSE.

USB Protocol Engine and FIFO control. The USB Protocol Engine controls and manages the interface

between the UTMI PHY and the FIFOs of the chip. It also handles power management and the USB protocol

specification.

Dual Port FIFO TX Buffer (4Kbytes per interface). Data from the Host PC is stored in these buffers to be

used by the Multi-purpose UART/FIFO controllers. This is controlled by the USB Protocol Engine and FIFO

control block.

Dual Port FIFO RX Buffer (4Kbytes per interface). Data from the Multi-purpose UART/FIFO controllers is

stored in these blocks to be sent back to the the Host PC when requested. This is controlled by the USB

Protocol Engine and FIFO control block.

RESET Generator – The integrated Reset Generator Cell provides a reliable power-on reset to the device

internal circuitry at power up. The RESET# input pin allows an external device to reset the FT2232H.

RESET# should be tied to VCCIO (+3.3v) if not being used.

Independent Baud Rate Generators – The Baud Rate Generators provides a x16 or a x10 clock input to

the UART’s from a 120MHz reference clock and consists of a 14 bit pre-scaler and 4 register bits which

provide fine tuning of the baud rate (used to divide by a number plus a fraction). This determines the Baud

Rate of the UART which is programmable from 183 baud to 12 million baud.

See FTDI application note AN232B-05 on the FTDI website (www.ftdichip.com) for more details.

+1.8V LDO Regulator. The +1.8V LDO regulator generates the +1.8 volts for the core and the USB

transceiver cell. Its input (VREGIN) must be connected to a +3.3V external power source. It is also

recommended to add an external filtering capacitor to the VREGIN. There is no direct connection from the

Document No.: FT_000061

FT2232H DUAL HIGH SPEED USB TO MULTIPURPOSE UART/FIFO IC

Datasheet Version 2.01

Clearance No.: FTDI#77

+1.8V output (VREGOUT) and the internal functions of the FT2232H. The PCB must be routed to connect

VREGOUT to the pins that require the +1.8V including VREGIN.

UTMI PHY. The Universal Transceiver Macrocell Interface (UTMI) physical interface cell. This block handles

the Full speed / High Speed SERDES (serialise – deserialise) function for the USB TX/RX data. It also

provides the clocks for the rest of the chip. A 12 MHz crystal should be connected to the OSCI and OSCO

pins. A 12K Ohm resistor should be connected between REF and GND on the PCB.

The UTMI PHY functions include:

• Supports 480 Mbit/s “High Speed” (HS)/ 12 Mbit/s “Full Speed” (FS), FS Only and “Low Speed” (LS)

• SYNC/EOP generation and checking

• Data and clock recovery from serial stream on the USB.

• Bit-stuffing/unstuffing; bit stuff error detection.

• Manages USB Resume, Wake Up and Suspend functions.

• Single parallel data clock output with on-chip PLL to generate higher speed serial data clocks.

EEPROM Interface. When used without an external EEPROM the FT2232H defaults to a USB to dual

asynchronous serial port device. Adding an external 93C46 (93C56 or 93C66) EEPROM allows each of the

chip’s channels to be independently configured as a serial UART (RS232 mode), parallel FIFO (245) mode

or fast serial (opto isolation). The external EEPROM can also be used to customise the USB VID, PID, Serial

Number, Product Description Strings and Power Descriptor value of the FT2232H for OEM applications.

Other parameters controlled by the EEPROM include Remote Wake Up, Soft Pull Down on Power-Off and

I/O pin drive strength.

The EEPROM should be a 16 bit wide configuration such as a Microchip 93LC46B or equivalent capable of a

1Mbit/s clock rate at VCC = +3.00V to 3.6V. The EEPROM is programmable in-circuit over USB using a

utility program called MPROG available from FTDI’s web site (www.ftdichip.com). This allows a blank part

to be soldered onto the PCB and programmed as part of the manufacturing and test process.

If no EEPROM is connected (or the EEPROM is blank), the FT2232H will default to dual serial ports. The

device uses its built-in default VID (0403) , PID (6010) Product Description and Power Descriptor Value. In

this case, the device will not have a serial number as part of the USB descriptor.

4.3.3 Dual Port RS485 Configuration

Figure 4.3 illustrates how the FT2232H can be configured as a dual RS485 interface.

Figure 4.3 Dual RS485 Configuration

In this case both channel A and channel B are configured as RS485 operating at TTL levels. This example

uses two Sipex SP491 devices but there are similar parts available from Maxim and Analog Devices

amongst others. The SP491 is a RS485 device in a compact 8 pin SOP package. It has separate enables

on both the transmitter and receiver. With RS485, the transmitter is only enabled when a character is being

transmitted from the UART. The TXDEN pins on the FT2232H are provided for exactly that purpose, and so

the transmitter enables are wired to the TXDEN’s. The receiver enable is active low, so it is wired to the

PWREN# pin to disable the receiver when in USB suspend mode.

RS485 is a multi-drop network – i.e. many devices can communicate with each other over a single two wire

cable connection. The RS485 cable requires to be terminated at each end of the cable. Links are provided to

allow the cable to be terminated if the device is physically positioned at either end of the cable.

In this example the data transmitted by the FT2232H is also received by the device that is transmitting. This

is a common feature of RS485 and requires the application software to remove the transmitted data from the

received data stream. With the FT2232H it is possible to do this entirely in hardware – simply modify the

schematic so that RXD of the FT2232H is the logical OR of the SP481 receiver output with TXDEN using an

HC32 or similar logic gate.

4.4 FT245 Synchronous FIFO Interface Mode Description

When channel A is configured in an FT245 Synchronous FIFO interface mode the IO timing of the signals

used are shown in Figure 4.4, which shows details for read and write accesses. The timings are shown in

Table 4.1. Note that only a read or a write cycle can be performed at any one time. Data is read or written on

the rising edge of the CLKOUT clock.

Clearance No.: FTDI#77

This single channel mode uses a synchronous interface to get high data transfer speeds. The chip drives a

60 MHz CLKOUT clock for the external system to use.

Note that Asynchronous FIFO mode must be selected on both channels before selecting the Synchronous

FIFO mode in software.

4.4.1 FT245 Synchronous FIFO Read Operation

A read operation is started when the chip drives RXF# low. The external system can then drive OE# low to

turn around the data bus drivers before acknowledging the data with the RD# signal going low. The first data

byte is on the bus after OE# is low. The external system can burst the data out of the chip by keeping RD#

low or it can insert wait states in the RD# signal. If there is more data to be read it will change on the clock

following RD# sampled low. Once all the data has been consumed, the chip will drive RXF# high. Any data

that appears on the data bus, after RXF# is high, is invalid and should be ignored.

4.4.2 FT245 Synchronous FIFO Write Operation

A write operation can be started when TXE# is low. WR# is brought low when the data is valid. A burst

operation can be done on every clock providing TXE# is still low. The external system must monitor TXE#

and its own WR# to check that data has been accepted. Both TXE# and WR# must be low for data to be

accepted.

4.5 FT245 Asynchronous FIFO Interface Mode Description

The FT2232H can be configured as a dual channel asynchronous FIFO interface. This mode is similar to

the synchronous FIFO interface with the exception that the data is written to or read from the FIFO on

the falling edge of the WR# or RD# signals.

This mode does not provide a CLKOUT signal and it does not expect an OE# input signal. The following

4.6 MPSSE Interface Mode Description.

MPSSE Mode is designed to allow the FT2232H to interface efficiently with synchronous serial protocols

such as JTAG, I2C and SPI Bus. It can also be used to program SRAM based FPGA’s over USB. The

MPSSE interface is designed to be flexible so that it can be configured to allow any synchronous serial

protocol (industry standard or proprietary) to be implemented using the FT2232H. MPSSE is available on

channel A and channel B.

MPSSE is fully configurable, and is programmed by sending commands down the data stream. These can

be sent individually or more efficiently in packets. MPSSE is capable of a maximum sustained data rate of 30

Mbits/s.

When a channel is configured in MPSSE mode, the IO timing and signals used are shown in Figure 4.7 and

Table 4.3 These show timings for CLKOUT=30MHz. CLKOUT can be divided internally to be provide a

slower clock.

t5 0 ns TDO/DI hold time

t6 11 TDO/DI setup time

MPSSE mode is enabled using Set Bit Bang Mode driver command. A hex value of 2 will enable it, and a

hex value of 0 will reset the device. See application note AN2232L-02, “Bit Mode Functions for the

FT2232D” for more details and examples.

The MPSSE command set is fully described in application note AN_108 – “Command Processor For

MPSSE and MCU Host Bus Emulation Modes”.

4.7 MCU Host Bus Emulation Mode

MCU host bus emulation mode uses both of the FT2232H’s A and B channel interfaces to make the chip

emulate a standard 8048/8051 MCU host bus. This allows peripheral devices for these MCU families to be

directly connected to USB via the FT2232H.

The lower 8 bits (AD7 to AD0) is a multiplexed Address / Data bus. A15 to A18 provide upper (extended)

addresses. There are 4 basic operations:-

1) Read (does not change A15 to A8)

2) Read Extended (changes A15 to A8)

3) Write (does not change A15 to A8)

4) Write Extended (changes A15 to A8)

MCU Host Bus Emulation mode is enabled using Set Bit Bang Mode driver command. A hex value of 8 will

enable it, and a hex value of 0 will reset the device. The FT2232H operates in the same way as the

FT2232D. See application note AN2232-02, “Bit Mode Functions for the FT2232D” for more details and

examples.

The MCU Host Bus Emulation Mode command set is fully described in application note AN_108 –

“Command Processor For MPSSE and MCU Host Bus Emulation Modes”.

When MCU Host Bus Emulation mode is enabled the IO signal lines on both channels work together and the

pins are configured as described in Table 3.11. The following sections give some details of the read and

write cycle waveforms and timings. The CLKOUT output clock can operate up to 60MHz.

In Host Bus Emulation mode the clock divisor has no effect. The clock divisor is used for serial data and is a

different part of the MPSSE block. In host bus emulation the 60MHz clock is always output and doesn’t

change with any commands.

4.8 Fast Opto-Isolated Serial Interface Mode Description

Fast Opto-Isolated Serial Interface Mode provides a method of communicating with an external device over

USB using 4 wires that can have opto-isolators in their path, thus providing galvanic isolation between

systems. If either channel A or channel B is enabled in Fast Opto-Isolated Serial mode then the pins on

channel B are switched to the fast serial interface configuration. The I/O interface for fast serial mode is

always on channel B, even if both channels are being used in this mode. An address bit is used to determine

the source or destination channel of the data. It therefore makes sense to always use at least channel B or

both for fast serial mode, but not A own its own.

Fast serial mode is enabled by setting the appropriate bits in the external EEPROM. The fast serial mode

can be held in reset by setting a bit value of 10 using the Set Bit Bang Mode command. While this bit is set

the device is held reset – data can be sent to the device, but it will not be sent out by the device until the

device is enabled again. This is done by sending a bit value of 0 using the set bit mode command. See

application note AN2232L-02, “Bit Mode Functions for the FT2232D” for more details and examples.

When either Channel B or both Channel A and B are configured in Fast Opto-Isolated Serial Interface mode

the IO timing of the signals used are shown in Figure 4.11 and the timings are shown in Table 4.6

4.8.1

Outgoing Fast Serial Data

To send fast serial data out of the FT2232H, the external device must drive the FSCLK clock. If the FT2232H

has data ready to send, it will drive FSDO output low to indicate the start bit. It will not do this if it is currently

receiving data from the external device. This is illustrated in Figure 4.12.

Figure 4.12 Fast Opto-Isolated Serial Interface Output Data

Notes :-

1. The first bit output (Start bit) is always 0.

2. FSDO is always sent LSB first.

3. The last serial bit output is the source bit (SRCE). It indicates which channel the data has come

from. A ‘0’ means that it has come from Channel A, a ‘1’ means that it has come from Channel B.

4. If the target device is unable to accept the data when it detects the START bit, it should stop the

FSCLK until it can accept the data.

4.8.2

Incoming Fast Serial Data

An external device is allowed to send data into the FT2232H if FSCTS is high. On receipt of a zero START

bit on FSDI, the FT2232H will drop FSCTS on the next positive clock edge. The data from bits 0 to 7 are

then clocked in (LSB first). The last bit (DEST) determines where the data will be written to. The data can be

sent to either channel A or to channel B. If DEST= ‘0’, the data is sent to channel A, (assuming channel A is

enabled for fast serial mode, otherwise the data is sent to channel B). If DEST= ‘1’ the data is sent to

channel B, (assuming channel B is enabled for fast serial mode, otherwise the data will go to channel A.

(Either channel A, channel B or both channels must be enabled as fast serial mode or the function is

disabled). This is illustrated in Figure 4.13.

Figure 4.13 Fast Opto-Isolated Serial Interface Input Data

Notes :-

1. The first bit input (Start bit) is always 0.

2. FSDI is always received LSB first.

3. The last received serial bit is the destination bit (DEST).It indicates which channel the data should go

to. A ‘0’ means that it should go to channel A, a ‘1’ means that it should go to channel B.

4. The target device should ensure that CTS is high before it sends data. CTS goes low after data bit 0

(D0) and stays low until the chip can accept more data.

(A0). When either Channel A or Channel B are in CPU FIFO Interface mode the IO signal lines are

4.10 Synchronous and Asynchronous Bit-Bang Interface Mode Description

The FT2232H channel A or channel B can be configured as a bit-bang interface. There are two types of

bit-bang modes: synchronous and asynchronous.

Asynchronous Bit-Bang Mode

Asynchronous Bit-Bang mode is the same as BM-style Bit-Bang mode, except that the internal RD# and

WR# strobes (RDSTB# and WRSTB#) are now brought out of the device to allow external logic to be clocked

by accesses to the bit-bang IO bus.

On either or both channels any data written to the device in the normal manner will be self clocked onto the

data pins (those which have been configured as outputs). Each pin can be independently set as an input or

an output. The rate that the data is clocked out at is controlled by the baud rate generator.

For the data to change there has to be new data written, and the baud rate clock has to tick. If no new data is

written to the channel, the pins will hold the last value written.

Synchronous Bit-Bang Mode

The synchronous Bit-Bang mode will only update the output parallel port pins whenever data is sent from the

USB interface to the parallel interface. When this is done, the WRSTB# will activate to indicate that the data

has been read from the USB Rx FIFO buffer and written out on the pins. Data can only be received from the

parallel pins (to the USB Tx FIFO interface) when the parallel interface has been written to.

With Synchronous Bit-Bang mode data will only be sent out by the FT2232H if there is space in the FT2232H

USB TXFIFO for data to be read from the parallel interface pins. This Synchronous Bit-Bang mode will read

the data bus parallel I/O pins first, before it transmits data from the USB RxFIFO. It is therefore 1 byte behind

the output, and so to read the inputs for the byte that you have just sent, another byte must be sent.

For example :-

(1) Pins start at 0xFF

Send 0x55,0xAA

Pins go to 0x55 and then to 0xAA

Data read = 0xFF,0x55

(2) Pins start at 0xFF

Send 0x55,0xAA,0xAA

(repeat the last byte sent)

Pins go to 0x55 and then to 0xAA

Data read = 0xFF,0x55,0xAA

Synchronous Bit-Bang Mode differs from Asynchronous Bit-Bang mode in that the device parallel output is

only read when the parallel output is written to by the USB interface. This makes it easier for the controlling

program to measure the response to a USB output stimulus as the data returned to the USB interface is

synchronous to the output data.

Asynchronous Bit-Bang mode is enabled using Set Bit Bang Mode driver command. A hex value of 1 will

enable Asynchronous Bit-Bang mode.

Synchronous Bit-Bang mode is enabled using Set Bit Bang Mode driver command. A hex value of 4 will

enable Synchronous Bit-Bang mode.

See application note AN2232-02, “Bit Mode Functions for the FT2232” for more details and examples of

using the bit-bang modes.

An example of the synchronous bi-bang mode timing is shown in Figure 4.17

WRSTB# = this output indicates when new data has been written to the I/O pins from the Host PC (via the

USB interface).

RDSTB# = this output rising edge indicates when data has been read from the I/O pins and sent to the Host

PC (via the USB interface).

The WRSTB# goes active in t4. The WRSTB# goes active when data is read from the USB RXFIFO (i.e.

sent from the PC). The RDSTB# goes inactive when data is sampled from the pins and written to the USB

TXFIFO (i.e. sent to the PC). The SETUP command to the FT2232H is used to setup the bit-mode. This

command also contains a byte wide data mask to set the direction of each bit. The direction on each pin

doesn’t change unless a new SETUP command is used to modify the direction.

The WRSTB# and RDSTB# strobes are only a guide to what may be happening depending on the direction

of the bus. For example if all pins are configured as inputs, it is still necessary to write to these pins in order

to get the FT2232H to read those pins even though the data written will never appear on the pins.

4.11 RS232 UART Mode LED Interface Description

When configured in UART mode the FT2232H has two IO pins on each channel dedicated to controlling LED

status indicators, one for transmitted data the other for received data. When data is being transmitted /

received the respective pins drive from tri-state to low in order to provide indication on the LED’s of data

transfer. A digital one-shot timer is used so that even a small percentage of data transfer is visible to the end

user.

Figure 4.19 shows a configuration using two individual LED’s – one for transmitted data the other for

4.12 FT2232H Mode Selection

The 2 channels of the FT2232H reset to 2 asynchronous serial interfaces.

Following a reset the required mode of each channel is determined by the contents of the EEPROM

(programmed using MPROG V3.4a or later).

The EEPROM contents determine if the 2 channels have been configured as FT232 asynchronous serial

interface, FT245 FIFO interface, CPU Target Mode interface or Fast Serial Interface.

Following a reset, the EEPROM is read to determine which mode is configured. After device enumeration, an

FT_SetBitMode command (refer to D2XX_Programmers_Guide) can be sent to the USB driver to switch the

selected interface into the required mode – asynchronous bit-bang, synchronous bit-bang or MPSSE.

When in FT245 FIFO mode, the FT_SetBitMode command can be used to select either Synchronous FIFO

(FT_SetBitMode = 0x40) or Asynchronous FIFO mode. (Note that Asynchronous FIFO mode must be

selected on both channels before selecting the Synchronous FIFO mode. This means that an EEPROM is

needed to initially configure Asynchronous FIFO mode before software configures the Synchronous FIFO

mode).

When Synchronous FIFO mode selected, channel A uses all the memory resources of channel B. As such

channel B is then not available. In this case the state of the channel B pins is determined when the

configuration is switched to Asynchronous FIFO mode. If channel B had not been used for any data transfer

before configuration of Asynchronous FIFO mode, then the channel B pins will remain in their default mode

(D7:0=tri-stated but pulled high trough 75K resistor, TXE# =low, RXF# =high. RD# and WR# are inputs and

should be pulled high). An MPSSE command, set_data_bits can be used to configure the channel B pins as

inputs before configuring channel A as Synchronous FIFO. This avoids the channel B pins driving against

any interfaces (such as SPI) which may have been configured previous to any switching of channel A to

Synchronous FIFO mode. Refer to http://www.ftdichip.com/Documents/AppNotes/AN2232C-

6 FT2232H Configurations

The following sections illustrate possible USB power configurations for the FT2232H.

All USB power configurations illustrated apply to both package options for the FT2232H device

6.1 USB Bus Powered Configuration

Bus Powered Application example 1: Bus powered configuration

Figure 6.1 Bus Powered Configuration Example 1

Figure 6.1 illustrates the FT2232H in a typical USB bus powered design configuration. A USB bus powered

device gets its power from the USB bus. In this application, the FT2232H requires that the VBUS (USB

+5V) is regulated down to +3.3V (using an LDO) to supply the VCCIO, VPLL, VPHY and VREGIN.

VREGIN is the +3.3V input to the on chip +1.8V regulator. The output of the on chip LDO regulator

(+1.8V) drives the FT2232H core supply (VCORE). This requires a minimum of a 3.3uF filter capacitor.

difference here is that the +1.8V for the FT2232H core (VCORE) has been regulated from the VBUS as

well as the +3.3V supply to the VPLL, VPHY, VCCIO and VREGIN.

6.2 USB Self Powered Configuration

Self Powered application example 1: Self powered configuration

Figure 6.3 Self Powered Configuration Example 1

Figure 6.3 illustrates the FT2232H in a typical USB self powered configuration. A USB self powered device

gets its power from its own power supply and does not draw current from the USB bus. In this example

an external power supply is used. This external supply is regulated to +3.3V.

Note that in this set-up, the EEPROM should be configured for self-powered operation.

6.3 Oscillator Configuration

Figure 6.5 Recommended FT2232H Crystal Oscillator Configuration.

Figure 6.5 illustrates how to connect the FT2232H with a 12MHz ± 0.5% crystal. In this case loading

capacitors should to be added between OSCI, OSCO and GND as shown. A value of 27pF is shown as the

capacitor in the example – this will be good for many crystals but it is recommended to select the loading

capacitor value based on the manufacturer’s recommendations wherever possible. It is recommended to use

a parallel cut type crystal.

It is also possible to use a 12 MHz Oscillator with the FT2232H. In this case the output of the oscillator would

drive OSCI, and OSCO should be left unconnected. The oscillator must have a CMOS output drive

capability.
