Description
The USB 2.0 Hi-Speed to MPSSE cable contains a small internal electronic circuit board, utilising the FTDI FT232H, which is encapsulated into the USB connector end of the cable, this handles all the USB signalling and protocols. The cable provides a fast, simple way to connect devices with 3.3 Volt digital interfaces to USB. For full details of the IC, consult the FT232H datasheet, this is available from DS_FT232H. The integrated FT232H device incorporates a command processor called the Multi -Protocol Synchronous Serial Engine (MPSSE). The purpose of the MPSSE command processor is to communicate with de vices which use synchronous protocols (such as JTAG, SPI or I2C) in an efficient manner. Full details are available in the MPSSE application note - AN_108. The cable is terminated by ten individual wires with single pole connectors which can be interfaced to a male header. Cable signals are compliant with CMOS logic at 3.3 volts. The FT232H is a single channel USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mb/s) to UART/FIFO IC. It can be configured in a variety of industry standard serial or parallel interfaces, such as MPSSE - JTAG, SPI, I2C. The C232HM MPSSE cable is easily configured into each interface e.g. JTAG, SPI, I2C via the application software. The cable is powered from a USB host port and is USB 2.0 Hi-Speed compatible. The cable is 0.5m long and supports a data transfer up to 30Mbps in MPSSE mode. The C232HM MPSSE cable requires USB device drivers, available free from http://www.ftdichip.com. The D2XX driver is used with application software to directly access the FT232H in the cable though a DLL. This is illustrated in the Figure 1-1
The C232HM MPSSE cable uses the FTDI’s FT232H USB to serial IC device.

Appendix A - Cable EEPROM Configuration
Each C232HM MPSSE cable is controlled by the FTDI FT232H IC. This FT232H device contains an EEPROM which contains the USB configuration descriptors for that device. When the cable is plugged into a PC or a USB reset is performed, the PC will read these descriptors. The default values stored into the internal EEPROM are defined in the following table
Parameter USB Vendor ID (VID) USB Product UD (PID) Serial Number Enabled? Serial Number Manufacturer Name Value 0403h 6014h Yes A unique serial number is generated and programmed into See Note FTDI Product description depends on the cable. The following lists a the Product descriptions for each different cable.

Signal on this pin becomes TXD# if enable. Signal on this pin becomes RXD# if enable. Signal on this pin becomes RTS if enable. Signal on this pin becomes CTS if enable. Includes power available from the cable plus power required for the FT232H the EEPROM during device final test. FTDI default VID (hex) FTDI default PID (hex) Notes
