1.0 Driver Support
The FT2232D requires USB drivers (listed below), available free from http://www.ftdichip.com, which
are used to make the FT2232D appear as a virtual COM port (VCP). This then 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
FT2232D though a DLL.

3.1 Pin Out Description
This section describes the operation of the FT2232D pins. Common pins are defined in the first section,
and then the I/O pins are defined by chip mode.

RESET#
INPUT
Description
Can be used by an external device to reset the FT2232D. If not
required, tie to VCC. **Note 1
5
RSTOUT# OUTPUT Output of the internal Reset Generator. Drives low for 5.6 ms after VCC
> 3.5V and the internal clock starts up, then clamps it‟s output to the
3.3V output of the internal regulator. Taking RESET# low will also force
RSTOUT# to drive low. RSTOUT# is NOT affected by a USB Bus Reset.
47
TEST
INPUT
Puts device into I.C. test mode – must be tied to GND for normal
operation.
41
PWREN#
OUTPUT Goes Low after the device is configured via USB, then high during USB
suspend. Can be used to control power to external logic using a PChannel Logic Level MOSFET switch. Enable the Interface Pull-Down
Option in EEPROM when using the PWREN# pin in this way.
43
XTIN
INPUT
Input to 6MHz Crystal Oscillator Cell. This pin can also be driven by an
external 6MHz clock if required. Note: Switching threshold of this pin is
VCC/2, so if driving from an external source, the source must be
driving at 5V CMOS level or a.c. coupled to centre around VCC/2.
44
XTOUT
OUTPUT Output from 6MHz Crystal Oscillator Cell. XTOUT stops oscillating
during USB suspend, so take care if using this signal to clock external
logic.
Table 3.3.3 Miscellaneous Signal Group
**Note 1 - During device reset, these pins are tri-state but pulled up to VCC via internal 200K resistors.
