CBUS signal options are common to both package versions of the FT231X. These options can be configured in the internal MTP memory using the software utility FT_PPROG, which can be downloaded from the FTDI Utilities (www.ftdichip.com).

It has been designed to operate efficiently with USB host controllers by using as little bandwidth as possible when compared to the total USB bandwidth available. 4.1 Key Features Functional Integration. Fully integrated MTP memory, clock generation, AVCC filtering, Power-OnReset (POR) and LDO regulators. Configurable CBUS I/O Pin Options. The fully integrated MTP memory allows configuration of the Control Bus (CBUS) functionality and drive strength selection. There are 4 configurable CBUS I/O pins. These configurable options are detailed in section 3.3 The CBUS lines can be configured with any one of these output options by setting bits in the internal MTP memory. The device is shipped with the most commonly used pin definitions pre-programmed – see Section 8 for details. Asynchronous Bit Bang Mode with RD# and WR# Strobes. The FT231X supports FTDI’s previous chip generation bit-bang mode. In bit-bang mode, the eight UART lines can be switched from the regular interface mode to an 8-bit general purpose I/O port. Data packets can be sent to the device and they will be sequentially sent to the interface at a rate controlled by an internal timer (equivalent to the baud rate pre-scalar). In the FT231X device this mode has been enhanced by outputting the internal RD# and WR# strobes signals which can be used to allow external logic to be clocked by accesses to the bit-bang I/O bus. This option will be described more fully in a separate application note available from FTDI website (www.ftdichip.com). Synchronous Bit Bang Mode. The FT231X supports synchronous bit bang mode. This mode differs from asynchronous bit bang mode in that the interface pins are only read when the device is written to. This makes it easier for the controlling program to measure the response to an output stimulus as the data returned is synchronous to the output data. An application note, AN232R-01, available from FTDI website (www.ftdichip.com) describes this feature. Source Power and Power Consumption. The FT231X is capable of operating at a voltage supply between +3.3V and +5.25V with a nominal operational mode current of 8mA and a nominal USB suspend mode current of 125µA. This allows greater margin for peripheral designs to meet the USB suspend mode current limit of 2.5mA. An integrated level converter within the UART interface allows the FT231X to interface to UART logic running at +1.8V to +3.3V (5V tolerant). 4.2 Functional Block Descriptions The following paragraphs detail each function within the FT231X. Please refer to the block diagram shown in Figure 2.1 Internal MTP Memory. The internal MTP memory in the FT231X is used to store USB Vendor ID (VID), Product ID (PID), device serial number, product description string and various other USB configuration descriptors. The internal MTP memory is also used to configure the CBUS pin functions. The FT231X is supplied with the internal MTP memory pre-programmed as described in Section 8. A user area of the internal MTP memory is available to system designers to allow storing additional data from the user application over USB. The internal MTP memory descriptors can be programmed in circuit, over USB without any additional voltage requirement. The descriptors can be programmed using the FTDI utility software called FT_PROG, which can be downloaded from FTDI Utilities on the FTDI website (www.ftdichip.com). +3.3V LDO Regulator. The +3.3V LDO regulator generates the +3.3V reference voltage for driving the USB transceiver cell output buffers. It requires an external decoupling capacitor to be attached to the 3V3OUT regulator output pin. It also provides +3.3V power to the 1.5kΩ internal pull up resistor on USBDP. The main function of the LDO is to power the USB Transceiver and the Reset Generator Cells rather than to power external logic. However, it can be used to supply external circuitry requiring a +3.3V nominal supply with a maximum current of 50mA. +1.8V LDO Regulator. The +1.8V LDO regulator generates the +1.8V reference voltage for internal use driving the IC core functions of the serial interface engine and USB protocol engine. Copyright © 2013 Future Technology Devices International Limited 13 FT231X USB TO FULL HANDSHAKE UART IC Datasheet Version 1.2 Document No.: FT_000565 Clearance No.: FTDI# 261 USB Transceiver. The USB Transceiver Cell provides the USB 1.1 / USB 2.0 full-speed physical interface to the USB cable. The output drivers provide +3.3V level slew rate control signalling, whilst a differential input receiver and two single ended input receivers provide USB data in, Single-Ended-0 (SE0) and USB reset detection conditions respectfully. This function also incorporates a 1.5kΩ pull up resistor on USBDP. The block also detects when connected to a USB power supply which will not enumerate the device but still supply power and may be used for battery charging. USB DPLL. The USB DPLL cell locks on to the incoming NRZI USB data and generates recovered clock and data signals for the Serial Interface Engine (SIE) block. Internal 12MHz Oscillator – The Internal 12MHz Oscillator cell generates a 12MHz reference clock. This provides an input to the x4 Clock Multiplier function. The 12MHz Oscillator is also used as the reference clock for the SIE, USB Protocol Engine and UART FIFO controller blocks. Clock Multiplier / Divider. The Clock Multiplier / Divider takes the 12MHz input from the Internal Oscillator function and generates the 48MHz, 24MHz, 12MHz and 6MHz reference clock signals. The 48Mz clock reference is used by the USB DPLL and the Baud Rate Generator blocks. Serial Interface Engine (SIE). The Serial Interface Engine (SIE) block performs the parallel to serial and serial to parallel conversion of the USB data. In accordance with the USB 2.0 specification, it performs bit stuffing/un-stuffing and CRC5/CRC16 generation. It also verifies the CRC on the USB data stream. USB Protocol Engine. The USB Protocol Engine manages the data stream from the device USB control endpoint. It handles the low level USB protocol requests generated by the USB host controller and the commands for controlling the functional parameters of the UART in accordance with the USB 2.0 specification chapter 9. FIFO RX Buffer (512 bytes). Data sent from the USB host controller to the UART via the USB data OUT endpoint is stored in the FIFO RX (receive) buffer. Data is removed from the buffer to the UART transmit register under control of the UART FIFO controller. (Rx relative to the USB interface). FIFO TX Buffer (512 bytes). Data from the UART receive register is stored in the TX buffer. The USB host controller removes data from the FIFO TX Buffer by sending a USB request for data from the device data IN endpoint. (Tx relative to the USB interface). UART FIFO Controller. The UART FIFO controller handles the transfer of data between the FIFO RX and TX buffers and the UART transmit and receive registers. UART Controller with Programmable Signal Inversion and High Drive. Together with the UART FIFO Controller the UART Controller handles the transfer of data between the FIFO RX and FIFO TX buffers and the UART transmit and receive registers. It performs asynchronous 7 or 8 bit parallel to serial and serial to parallel conversion of the data on the RS232 (or RS422 or RS485) interface. Control signals supported by UART mode include RTS, CTS, DSR, DTR, DCD and RI. The UART Controller also provides a transmitter enable control signal pin option (TXDEN) to assist with interfacing to RS485 transceivers. RTS/CTS, DSR/DTR and XON / XOFF handshaking options are also supported. Handshaking is handled in hardware to ensure fast response times. The UART interface also supports the RS232 BREAK setting and detection conditions. Additionally, the UART signals can each be individually inverted and have a configurable high drive strength capability. Both these features are configurable in the MTP memory. Baud Rate Generator – The Baud Rate Generator provides a 16x clock input to the UART Controller from the 48MHz reference clock. It consists of a 14 bit pre-scalar and 3 register bits which provide fine tuning of the baud rate (used to divide by a number plus a fraction or “sub-integer”). This determines the baud rate of the UART, which is programmable from 183 baud to 3 Mbaud. The FT231X supports all standard baud rates and non-standard baud rates from 183 Baud up to 3 Mbaud. Achievable non-standard baud rates are calculated as follows – Baud Rate = 3000000 / (n + x) where ‘n’ can be any integer between 2 and 16,384 ( = 2 ) and ‘x’ can be a sub-integer of the value 0, 0.125, 0.25, 0.375, 0.5, 0.625, 0.75, or 0.875. When n = 1, x = 0, i.e. baud rate divisors with values between 1 and 2 are not possible. 14 This gives achievable baud rates in the range 183.1 baud to 3,000,000 baud. When a non-standard baud rate is required simply pass the required baud rate value to the driver as normal, and the FTDI driver will calculate the required divisor, and set the baud rate. See FTDI application note AN232B-05 on the FTDI website (www.ftdichip.com) for more details.

The illustrations have omitted pin numbers for ease of understanding since the pins differ between the FT231XS and FT231XQ package options. All USB power configurations illustrated apply to both package options for the FT231X device. Please refer to Section 9 for the package option pin-out and signal descriptions. 6.1 USB Bus Powered Configuration VCC Ferrite Bead 1 VCC 27R 2 USBDM 27R 3 USBDP 4 47pF 47pF FT231X 5 SHIELD RESET# 10nF VCCIO GND GND VCC GN D GN D 3V3OUT 100nF + 4.7uF 100nF GND GND Figure 6.1 Bus Powered Configuration Figure 6.1 Illustrates the FT231X in a typical USB bus powered design configuration. A USB bus powered device gets its power from the USB bus. Basic rules for USB bus power devices are as follows – i) ii) iii) iv) v) On plug-in to USB, the device should draw no more current than 100mA. In USB Suspend mode the device should draw no more than 2.5mA. A bus powered high power USB device (one that draws more than 100mA) should use one of the CBUS pins configured as PWREN# and use it to keep the current below 100mA on plug-in and 2.5mA on USB suspend. A device that consumes more than 100mA cannot be plugged into a USB bus powered hub. No device can draw more than 500mA from the USB bus. The power descriptors in the internal MTP memory of the FT231X should be programmed to match the current drawn by the device. A ferrite bead is connected in series with the USB power supply to reduce EMI noise from the FT231X and associated circuitry being radiated down the USB cable to the USB host. The value of the Ferrite Bead depends on the total current drawn by the application. A suitable range of Ferrite Beads is available from Laird Technologies (http://www.lairdtech.com), for example Laird Technologies Part # MI0805K400R-10. Note: If using PWREN# (available using the CBUS) the pin should be pulled to VCCIO using a 10kΩ resistor.

A USB self powered device gets its power from its own power supply, VCC, and does not draw current from the USB bus. The basic rules for USB self powered devices are as follows – i) ii) iii) A self powered device should not force current down the USB bus when the USB host or hub controller is powered down. A self powered device can use as much current as it needs during normal operation and USB suspend as it has its own power supply. A self powered device can be used with any USB host, a bus powered USB hub or a self powered USB hub. The power descriptor in the internal MTP memory of the FT231X should be programmed to a value of zero (self powered). In order to comply with the first requirement above, the USB bus power (pin 1) is used to control the VBUS_Sense pin of the FT220X device. When the USB host or hub is powered up an internal 1.5kΩ resistor on USBDP is pulled up to +3.3V, thus identifying the device as a full speed device to the USB host or hub. When the USB host or hub is powered off, VBUS_Sense pin will be low and the FT220X is held in a suspend state. In this state the internal 1.5kΩ resistor is not pulled up to any power supply (hub or host is powered down), so no current flows down USBDP via the 1.5kΩ pull-up resistor. Failure to do this may cause some USB host or hub controllers to power up erratically. Figure 6.2 illustrates a self powered design which has a +3.3V to +5.25V supply. Note: 1. When the FT231X is in reset, the UART interface I/O pins are tri-stated. Input pins have internal 200kΩ pull-up resistors to VCCIO, so they will gently pull high unless driven by some external logic.

This requirement includes external logic. Some external logic has the ability to power itself down into a low current state by monitoring the PWREN# signal. For external logic that cannot power itself down in this way, the FT231X provides a simple but effective method of turning off power during the USB suspend mode. Figure 6.3 shows an example of using a discrete P-Channel MOSFET to control the power to external logic. A suitable device to do this is an International Rectifier (www.irf.com) IRLML6402, or equivalent. It is recommended that a “soft start” circuit consisting of a 1kΩ series resistor and a 0.1μF capacitor is used to limit the current surge when the MOSFET turns on. Without the soft start circuit it is possible that the transient power surge, caused when the MOSFET switches on, will reset the FT231X or the USB host/hub controller. The soft start circuit example shown in Figure 6.3 powers up with a slew rate of approximaely12.5V/ms. Thus supply voltage to external logic transitions from GND to +5V in approximately 400 microseconds. As an alternative to the MOSFET, a dedicated power switch IC with inbuilt “soft-start” can be used. A suitable power switch IC for such an application is the Micrel (www.micrel.com) MIC2025-2BM or equivalent. With power switching controlled designs the following should be noted: i) The external logic to which the power is being switched should have its own reset circuitry to automatically reset the logic when power is re-applied when moving out of suspend mode. ii) Set the Pull-down on Suspend option in the internal FT231X MTP memory. iii) One of the CBUS Pins should be configured as PWREN# in the internal FT231X MTP memory, and used to switch the power supply to the external circuitry. This should be pulled high through a 10 kΩ resistor. iv) For USB high-power bus powered applications (one that consumes greater than 100mA, and up to 500mA of current from the USB bus), the power consumption of the application must be set in the Max Power field in the internal FT231X MTP memory. A high-power bus powered application uses the descriptor in the internal FT231X MTP memory to inform the system of its power requirements. v) PWREN# gets its VCC from VCCIO. For designs using 3V3 logic, ensure VCCIO is not powered down using the external logic. In this case use the +3V3OUT.

In this application, a 3V3 TTL to RS232 Level Converter IC is used on the serial UART interface of the FT231X to convert the 3V3 levels of the FT231X to RS232 levels. This level shift can be done using line drivers from a variety of vendors e.g. Zywyn. A useful feature on some of these devices is the SHDN# pin which can be used to power down the device to a low quiescent current during USB suspend mode. A suitable level shifting device is the Zywyn ZT3243F which is capable of RS232 communication at up to 1000k baud. In example shown, the CBUS0 and CBUS1 have been configured as TXLED# and RXLED# and are being used to drive two LEDs.

In this application, a 3V3-TTL to RS485 level converter IC is used on the serial UART interface of the FT231X to convert the TTL levels of the FT231X to RS485 levels. This example uses the Zywyn ZT3485 device. Equivalent devices are available from Maxim and Analogue Devices. The ZT3485 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 signal CBUS pin option on the FT231X is provided for exactly this purpose and so the transmitter enable is wired to CBUS2 which has been configured as TXDEN. Similarly, CBUS3 has been configured as PWREN#. This signal is used to control the ZT3485’s receiver enable. The receiver enable is active low, so it is wired to the PWREN# pin to disable the receiver when in USB suspend mode. CBUS2 = TXDEN and CBUS3 = PWREN# are the default device configurations of the FT231X pins. RS485 is a multi-drop network; so many devices can communicate with each other over a two wire cable interface. The RS485 cable requires to be terminated at each end of the cable. A link (which provides the 120Ω termination) allows the cable to be terminated if the ZT3485 is physically positioned at either end of the cable. In this example the data transmitted by the FT231X is also present on the receive path of the ZT3485.This is a common feature of RS485 and requires the application software to remove the transmitted data from the received data stream. With the FT231X it is possible to do this entirely in hardware by modifying the example shown in Figure 7.2 by logically OR’ing the FT231X TXDEN and the ZT3485 receiver output and connecting the output of the OR gate to the RXD of the FT231X. Note that the TXDEN is activated 1 bit period before the start bit. TXDEN is deactivated at the same time as the stop bit. This is not configurable.

In this application, two 3V3-TTL to RS422 Level Converter Ics are used on the serial UART interface of the FT231X to convert the TTL levels of the FT231X to RS422 levels. There are many suitable level converter devices available. This example uses Zywyn ZT3491 devices which have enables on both the transmitter and receiver. Since the ZT3491 transmitter enable is active high, it is connected to a CBUS pin in SLEEP# configuration. The ZT3491 receiver enable is active low and is therefore connected to a CBUS pin PWREN# configuration. This ensures that when both the ZT3491 transmitters and receivers are enabled then the device is active, and when the device is in USB suspend mode, the ZT3491 transmitters and receivers are disabled. If a similar application is used, but the design is USB BUS powered, it may be necessary to use a P-Channel logic level MOSFET (controlled by PWREN#) in the VCC line of the ZT3491 devices to ensure that the USB standby current of 2.5mA is met. The ZT3491 is specified to transmit and receive data at a rate of up to 16 Mbaud. In this example the maximum data rate is limited to 3 Mbaud by the FT231X.

These charging profiles do not enumerate the USB port of the peripheral. The FT231X device will detect that a USB compliant dedicated charging port (DCP) is connected. Once detected while in suspend mode, a battery charge detection signal is provided to allow external logic to switch to charging mode as opposed to operation mode. To use the FT231X with battery charging detection the CBUS pins must be reprogrammed to allow for the BCD Charger output to switch the external charger circuitry on. The CBUS pins are configured in the internal MTP memory with the free utility FTPROG. If the charging circuitry requires an active low signal to enable it, the CBUS pin can be programmed to BCD Charger# as an alternative. When connected to a USB compliant dedicated charging port (DCP, as opposed to a standard USB host) the device USB signals will be shorted together and the device suspended. The BCD charger signal will bring the LTC4053 out of suspend and allow battery charging to start. The charge current in the example below is 1A as defined by the resistance on the PROG pin.

In this application one of the CBUS pins is used to indicate transmission of data (TXLED#) and another is used to indicate receiving data (RXLED#). When data is being transmitted or received the respective pins will drive from tri-state to low in order to provide indication on the LEDs of data transfer. A digital one-shot is used so that even a small percentage of data transfer is visible to the end user.

Following a power-on reset or a USB reset the FT231X will scan its internal MTP memory and read the USB configuration descriptors stored there. In many cases, the default values programmed into the MTP memory will be suitable and no reprogramming will be necessary. The defaults can be found in Section 8.1. The MTP memory in the FT231X can be programmed over USB if the values need to be changed for a particular application. Further details of this are provided from section 0 onwards. Users who do not have their own USB Vendor ID but who would like to use a unique Product ID in their design can apply to FTDI for a free block of unique PIDs. See TN_100 – USB Vendor ID/Product ID Guidelines for more details. 8.1 Default Values The default factory programmed values of the internal MTP memory are shown in Table 8.1. Parameter Value Notes USB Vendor ID (VID) 0403h FTDI default VID (hex) USB Product UD (PID) 6015h FTDI default PID (hex) Serial Number Enabled? Yes Serial Number See Note A unique serial number is generated and programmed into the MTP memory during device final test.

This method is the same as for the EEPROM on other FTDI devices such as the FT232R. No additional hardware, connections or programming voltages are required. The device is simply connected to the host computer in the same way that it would be for normal applications, and the FT_Prog utility is used to set the required options and program the device. The FT_Prog utility is provided free-of-charge from the FTDI website, and can be found at the link below. The user guide is also available at this link. http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities.htm#FT_Prog Additionally, D2XX commands can be used to program the MTP memory from within user applications. For more information on the commands available, please see the D2XX Programmers Guide below. http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Documents/ProgramGuides/D2XX_Programmer’s_Guide(FT_000071).p df 8.3 Memory Map The FT-X family MTP memory has various areas which come under three main categories:    User Memory Area Configuration Memory Area (writable) Configuration Memory Area (non-writable) Memory Area Description Word Address User Memory Area 2 Accessible via USB 0x3FF – 0x80 Configuration Memory Area Accessible via USB 0x7E – 0x50 Configuration Memory Area Cannot be written 0x4E – 0x40 User Memory Area 1 Accessible via USB 0x3E – 0x12 Configuration Memory Area Accessible via USB 0x10 – 0x00 Figure 8.1: Simplified memory map for the FT-X User Memory Area The User Memory Areas are highlighted in Green on the memory map. They can be read and written via USB on the FT231X. All locations within this range are freely programmable; no areas have special functions and there is no checksum for the user area. Note that the application should take into account the specification for the number of write cycles in Section 5.4 if it will be writing to the MTP memory multiple times. Copyright © 2013 Future Technology Devices International Limited 34 FT231X USB TO FULL HANDSHAKE UART IC Datasheet Version 1.2 Document No.: FT_000565 Clearance No.: FTDI# 261 Configuration Memory Area (writable) This area stores the configuration data for the device, including the data which is returned to the host in the configuration descriptors (e.g. the VID, PID and string descriptions) and also values which set the hardware configuration (the signal assigned to each CBUS pin for example). These values can have a significant effect on the behaviour of the device. Steps must be taken to ensure that these locations are not written to un-intentionally by an application which is intended to access only the user area. This area is included in a checksum which covers configuration areas of the memory, and so changing any value can also cause this checksum to fail. Configuration Memory Area (non-writable) This is a reserved area and the application should not write to this area of memory. Any attempt to write these locations will fail.
