Vinculum-II
Embedded Dual USB Host
Controller IC
Vinculum-II is FTDI’s 2nd generation of USB Host
device. The CPU has been upgraded from the
previous VNC1L device, dramatically increasing the
processing power. The IC architecture has been
designed to take care of most of the general USB
data transfers, thus freeing up processing power
for user applications. Flash and RAM memory have
been increased providing larger user areas of
memory for the designer to incorporate his own
code. The designers also have the ability to create
their own firmware using the new suite of software
development tools.
VNC2 has the following advanced features:
Embedded processor core
16 bit Harvard architecture
Two full-speed or low-speed USB 2.0
interfaces capable of host or slave
functions
256kbytes on-chip E-Flash Memory
(128k x 16-bits)
16kbytes on-chip Data RAM (4k x 32bits
Programmable UART up to 6Mbaud
Two SPI (Serial Peripheral) slave
interfaces and one SPI master
interface
Eight bit wide FIFO Interface
Firmware upgrades via UART, SPI, and
FIFO interface
12MHz oscillator using external crystal
General-purpose timers
+3.3V single supply operation with 5V
safe inputs
Software development suite of tools to
create customised firmware. Compiler
Linker – Debugger – IDE
Available in six RoHS compliant
packages - 32 LQFP, 32 QFN, 48 LQFP,
48 QFN, 64 LQFP and 64 QFN
VNC2-48L1 package option compatible

44 configurable I/O pins on the 64 pin
device, 28 I/O pins on the 48 pin
device and 12 I/O on the 32 pin device
using the I/O multiplexer
-40°C to +85°C extended operating
temperature range
Simultaneous multiple file access on
BOMS devices
Eight Pulse Width Modulation outputs
to allow connectivity with motor
control applications
Reduced power modes capability
Variable instruction length

3.12 Pin Configuration Input / Output
VNC2 has multiple interfaces available for connecting to external devices. These are UART, FIFO, SPI
slave, SPI master, GPIO and PWM. The Interface I/O Multiplexer is used to share the available I/O Pins
between each peripheral.
VNC2 is configured with default settings for the I/O pins however they can be easily changed to suit the
needs of a designer. This is explained in Section 5 – I/O Multiplexer. Default configuration for each
package type is shown in Table 3.4- Default I/O Configuration. The signal names are also indicated
for the VNC1L device as it is pin-compatible with the 48 pin LQFP VNC2 device.
Note: The default values of the pins listed in the following table are only available when the I/O Mux is
enabled. A blank VNC2 chip defaults to all I/O pins as inputs.

4 Function Description
VNC2 is the second of FTDIs Vinculum family of Embedded USB host controller integrated circuit devices.
VNC2 can encapsulate certain USB device classes by handling the USB Host Interface and data transfer
functions using the in-built EMCU and embedded Flash memory. When interfacing to mass storage
devices, such as USB Flash drives, VNC2 transparently handles the FAT file structure using a simple to
implement command set. VNC2 provides a cost effective solution for introducing USB host capability into
products that previously did not have the hardware resources to do so.
VNC2 has an associated software development tool suite to allow users to create customised firmware.
4.1 Key Features
VNC2 is a programmable SoC device with a powerful embedded microprocessor core and dual USB
interfaces, large RAM and Flash capacity and the ability to develop and customise firmware using the
VNC2 Toolchain. VNC2 has an enhanced feature list over and above VNC1L; however the 48 pin LQFP
package is backward compatible with the VNC1L.
4.2 Functional Block Descriptions
The following paragraphs describe each function within VNC2. Please refer to the block diagram shown in
Figure 2.1
4.2.1 Embedded CPU
The processor core is based on FTDIs proprietary 16-bit embedded MCU architecture. The EMCU has a
Harvard architecture with separate code and data space.
4.2.2 Flash Module
VNC2 has 256k bytes (128k x 16-bits) of embedded Flash (E-FLASH) memory. No special programming
voltages are necessary for programming the on-board E-FLASH as these are provided internally on-chip.
4.2.3 Flash Programming Module
The purpose of the flash programmer module is to perform all necessary operations for programming the
flash, from general usage to first power on sequencing. This block is responsible for handling device
firmware upgrades which can be accessed by the debugger interface, a USB cable or Flash drive
interface.
4.2.4 Input / Output Multiplexer Module
VNC2 peripheral interfaces are UART, SPI slave0, SPI slave1, SPI master, FIFO-Asynchronous, FIFOSynchronous, GPIO, debug interface and PWM.
The I/O multiplexer allows the designer to select which peripherals are connected to the device I/O pins.
The selectable peripheral interfaces are only limited by the number of I/O pins available. All peripherals
are available across the package range except synchronous FIFO mode which cannot be selected on 32
pin packages. The available configurable I/O pins per package are as follows:
32 pin package – 12 I/O pins
48 pin package – 28 I/O pins
64 pin package – 44 I/O pins
Table 4.1 lists the peripherals which can be multiplexed to I/O and the maximum number of pins required
for each one. The designer can choose any mix of peripheral configurations as long as they are within the
specific package I/O pin count. Depending on the design not all 9 UART pins need to be configured.
Similarly the GIPO peripheral does not need all pins configured.

E.g. The 48 pin package has 28 I/O pins which could be configured as UART – 9 pins, SPI Master – 5
pins, FIFO Asynchronous – 12 pins and GPIO – 2 pins. This makes a total of 28 pins.
Please refer to Section 5 for a detailed description of the I/O multiplexer.

Table 4.1 - Peripheral Pin Requirements
4.2.5 Peripheral DMA Modules 0, 1, 2 & 3
The peripheral DMA has the capability to transfer data to and from an I/O device. The CPU can offload
the transfer of data between the processor and the peripheral freeing the CPU to execute other
instructions.
The DMA module collects or transmits data from memory to an I/O address space; it is also capable of
copying data in memory and transferring it to another location. The DMA is not accessible by the user as
it automatically controlled by the CPU.
4.2.6 RAM Module
The RAM module consists of 16k bytes on-chip (4k x 32-bits) data memory. The RAM is byte addressable.
4.2.7 Peripheral Interface Modules
VNC2 has nine peripheral interface modules. Full descriptions of each module are described in Section 6.

4.2.8 USB Transceivers 0 and 1
Two USB transceiver cells provide the physical USB device interface supporting USB 1.1 and USB 2.0
standards. Low-speed and full-speed USB data rates are supported. Each output driver provides +3.3V
level slew rate control signalling, whilst a differential receiver and two single ended receivers provide USB
DATA IN, SE0 and USB Reset condition detection. These cells also include integrated internal USB pull-up
or pull-down resistors as required for host or slave mode.
4.2.9 USB Host / Device Controllers
These blocks handle the parallel-to-serial and serial-to-parallel conversion of the USB physical layer. This
includes bit stuffing, CRC generation, USB frame generation and protocol error checking. The Host /
Device controller is autonomous and therefore requires limited load from the CPU.
4.2.10 12MHz Oscillator
The 12MHz Oscillator cell generates a 12MHz reference clock input to the Clock Multiplier PLL from an
external 12MHz crystal. The external crystal is connected across Pin 4 – XTIN and Pin 5 – XTOUT in the
configuration shown in Figure 10.1.

4.2.11 Power Saving Modes and Standby mode
VNC2 can be set to operate in three frequencies allowing the user to select a slower speed to reduce
power consumption. Three operating frequencies available are 12MHz, 24MHz and normal operation of
48MHz. These operating modes can be configured using the RTOS. Full details are available in the RTOS
manual available from the FTDI website.
When a particular peripheral is not used, it is powered down internally thus saving power.
Standby mode is available under firmware control, this mode puts the VNC2 in a state with no clocks
running or system blocks powered. The device will wake up out of this mode by toggling any of the
following signals: USB0/1 DP or DM, SPI slave 0 select (spi_s0_ss#), SPI slave 1select (spi_s1_ss#) or
UART ring indicator (uart_ri#).

5 I/O Multiplexer
FTDI devices typically have multiple interfaces available to communicate with external devices. VNC2 has
UART, SPI slave0, SPI slave1, SPI master, FIFO, GPIO, and PWM peripherals. The available packages for
VNC2 provide any of these interfaces to be active on the available pins through the use of an I/O
Multiplexer. Table 5.1 lists the signals available for each peripheral. Table 5.2 to Table 5.5 explains the
use of the I/O multiplexer.
Multiplexers are used to connect the VNC2 peripherals to the external IOBUS pins. This enables the
designer to select which IOBUS pins he wishes to map a particular peripheral to. Peripheral signals are
allocated to one of four groups, which connect to the I/O multiplexer. Each I/O peripheral signal can
connect to one out of every four external IOBUS pins. The IOBUS pin that a peripheral signal can connect
to is dictated by the peripheral signal’s group. For example, if a peripheral signal is allocated to group 0
then it can connect to IOBUS0, IOBUS4, IOBUS8, and IOBUS12 and so on. If a peripheral signal is
allocated to group 1 then it can connect to IOBUS1, IOBUS5, IOBUS9, and IOBUS13 and so on. Figure
5.1 details the I/O multiplexer concept, where, for example, a white peripheral signal can connect to any
white IOBUS pin; a green peripheral signal can connect to a green IOBUS pin. Figure 5.2, Figure 5.3 and
Figure 5.4 give examples of connecting peripheral signals to differing IOBUS pins.
The IO Multiplexer also provides the following features:
Ability to configure an I/O pad as an input, output or bidirectional pad.
At power on reset, all pins are set as inputs by default. Whenever the I/O Mux is enabled the pins
are configured as their default values listed Table 6 within section 3.12.
Note: It is recommended not to reassign the debug interface signal (debug_if) from its default setting of
IOBUS0 (Pin 11 on all packages). This assumes that the debug pin is required in the application design, if
not; pin 11 can be assigned to any other group 0 signal.
An application (IOMUX) within the RTOS is available to aid with pin configuration, Section 5.2 has more
details. Further details of the IO Multiplexer are available within Application Note AN_139 Vinculum-II IO
Mux Explained.

With reference to Figure 5.3, it can be seen that IOBUS9-11 and IOBUS16-19 were unused. Figure 5.4
expands upon the previous two figures to detail a fully occupied IOBUS, up to and including IOBUS19.
The gaps at IOBUS9-11 have been filed with 3 GPIO pins, the gaps at IOBUS16-19 have been filled with
the second SPI slave and a further 3 IOBUS pins (17-19) have been allocated to 3 GPIO pins. Note that
GPIO pins A0 and A4 are unused as a sufficient gap wasn't available.

I/O Multiplexer Configuration
The VNC2 I/O Multiplexer allows signals to be routed to different pins on the device. To simplify the
routing of signals, the VNC2 RTOS provides a utility (IOMux) to configure the I/O Multiplexer as the
designer requires.
The IOMux is fully integrated into the VNC2 IDE (Integrated development
Environment) which is available to download: Vinculum-II Toolchain. A screenshot of the IOMux utility is
shown in figure 5.5 below.
The IOMux utility user guide is available to download: VINCULUM-II IO_Mux Configuration Utility User

Each VNC2 has a default state of IOBUS signals following a hard reset. The number of I/O pins available
is determined by the package size:
Package 32pin (LQFP & QFN)- Twelve I/O pins – IOBUS0 to IOBUS11
Package 48pin (LQFP & QFN)- Twenty eight I/O pins – IOBUS0 to IOBUS27
Package 64pin (LQFP & QFN)- Forty-four I/O pins – IOBUS0 to IOBUS43
Section 3.12 shows the default signal settings for all three package sizes.

I/O Mux Interface Configuration Example
This example shows how to set a UART interface on the VNC2 64 pin package. The UART is made up of
two output signals (uart_txd and uart_rts#) and two input signals (uart_rxd and uart_cts#). For PCB
design it is best to have the four pins of the UART interface adjacent to each other. This can be achieved
easily since the four signals are members of each different groups. Figure 5.1 clearly shows that the four
groups are adjacent to each other. So the four adjacent pins can be used for the UART interface as long
as they are selected one from each of the four groups. Tables 9, 10, 11 & 12 can now be used to select
where the UART interface can be placed. Figure 5.6 shows the four UART signal selected on pins 11, 12,
13 & 14 however they could have been selected on any of the other four pins highlighted in blue dashed
lines.

6 Peripheral Interfaces
In addition to the two USB Host and Slave blocks, VNC2 contains the following peripheral interfaces:
Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART)
Two Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) slaves
SPI Master
Debugger Interface
Parallel FIFO Interface (245 mode and synchronous FIFO mode)
General Purpose Timers
Eight Pulse Width Modulation blocks (PWM)
General Purpose Input Output (GPIO)
The following sections describe each peripheral in detail.
6.1 UART Interface
When the data and control bus are configured in UART mode, the interface implements a standard
asynchronous serial UART port with flow control, for example RS232/422/485. The UART can support
baud rates from 183 baud to 6 Mbaud. The maximum UART speed is determined by the CPU speed/8.The
CPU can be run at three frequencies, therefore the following maximum rates apply:
CPU Frequency
Maximum UART Speed
48 MHz
6 Mbaud
24 MHz
3 Mbaud
12 MHz
1.5 Mbaud
Data transfer uses NRZ (Non-Return to Zero) data format consisting of 1 start bit, 7 or 8 data bits, an
optional parity bit, and one or two stop bits. When transmitting the data bits, the least significant bit is
transmitted first. Transmit and receive waveforms are illustrated in Figure 6.1 and Figure 6.2:
Figure 6.1 UART Receive Waveform
Figure 6.2 UART Transmit Waveform
Baud rate (default =9600 baud), flow control settings (default = RTS/CTS), number of data bits
(default=8), parity (default is no parity) and number of stop bits (default=1) are all configurable using
the firmware command interface. Please refer to http://www.ftdichip.com.
uart_tx_active is transmit enable, this output may be used in RS485 designs to control the transmit of
the line driver.

6.2 Serial Peripheral Interface – SPI Modes
The Serial Peripheral Interface Bus is an industry standard communications interface. Devices
communicate in Master / Slave mode, with the Master initiating the data transfer.
VNC2 has one master module and two slave modules. Each SPI slave module has four signals – clock,
slave select, MOSI (master out – slave in) and MISO (master in – slave out). The SPI Master has the
same four signals as the slave modules but with one additional signal because it requires a slave select
for the second slave module. Table 6.2 lists how the signals are named in each module.
The SPI Master clock can operate up to one half of the CPU system clock depending on what power mode
the device is set to:
Normal power mode 48Mhz would set the SPI maximum clock to 24Mhz
Low power mode 24Mhz would set the SPI maximum clock to 12Mhz
Lowest power mode 12Mhz would set the SPI maximum clock to 6hMz

6.2.1 SPI Clock Phase Modes
SPI interface has 4 unique modes of clock phase (CPHA) and clock polarity (CPOL), known as Mode 0,
Mode 1, Mode 2 and Mode 3. Table 6.4 summarizes these modes and available interface and Figure 6.3
is the function timing diagram.
For CPOL = 0, the base (inactive) level of SCLK is 0.
In this mode:
When CPHA = 0, data is clocked in on the rising edge of SCLK, and data is clocked out on the
falling edge of SCLK.
When CPHA = 1, data is clocked in on the falling edge of SCLK, and data is clocked out on the
rising edge of SCLK
For CPOL =1, the base (inactive) level of SCLK is 1.
In this mode:
When CPHA = 0, data v in on the falling edge of SCLK, and data is clocked out on the rising edge
of SCLK
When CPHA =1, data is clocked in on the rising edge of SCLK, and data is clocked out on the
falling edge of SCLK.

Figure 6.4 SPI Slave block diagram
VNC2 has two SPI Slave modules both of which use four wire interfaces: MOSI, MISO, CLK and SS#.
Their main purpose is to send data from main memory to the attached SPI master, and / or receive data
and send it to main memory. The SPI Slave is controlled by the internal CPU using internal memory
mapped I/O registers. It operates from the main system clock, although sampling of input data and
transmission of output data is controlled by the SPI clock (CLK). An SPI transfer can only be initiated by
the SPI Master and begins with the slave select signal being asserted. This is followed by a data byte
being clocked out with the master supplying CLK. The master always supplies the first byte, which is
called a command byte. After this the desired number of data bytes are transferred before the
transaction is terminated by the master de-asserting slave select. An SPI Master is able to abort a
transfer at any time by de-asserting its SS# output. This will cause the Slave to end its current transfer
and return to idle state.

6.3.2 Full Duplex
In full duplex mode, the SPI slave sends data on MISO line at the same time as it receives data on MOSI.
During the command phase this data is always the slave status byte. For a write command, write data
can be streamed out of MOSI and status can be sent during each write phase from slave to master. As
long as the slave status indicates that it can receive more data, the master can continue to stream
further write bytes. Figure 6.5 is an example of this.

When the master is performing a data read, the data and status both need to share the same pin (MISO).
In this case the master and slave will exchange command and status bytes, followed by the slave sending
its data. If the Master keeps SS# active the Slave will send a further status byte after the data followed
by another data byte. This continues until the Master indicates the end of the communications by raising
SS#. Figure 6.6 is an example of this.

6.3.3 Half Duplex, 4 pin
In half duplex mode, the MOSI signal is shared for both Master to Slave and Slave to Master
communications. When using 4 pins, the MISO signal carries the status bits. The Master initiates data
write transfer, this by asserting SS# and then sending out a command byte. This has the same format as
that shown in Figure 6.7. The Slave sends status during this command phase and if this indicates that
the Slave can accept data the Master will follow this up with a byte of write data. If the status continues
to indicate that more data can be written, a whole stream of data can be written following one single
command. The operation completes when the Master raises SS# again. Figure 6.8 is an example of this.

Data reads are similar, apart from the MOSI pin changing from Slave input to Slave output after the

Slave returns with status. Then the MOSI buffers are turned round and a stream of read data is sent from
the Slave to the Master on the MOSI signal.

6.3.4 Half Duplex, 3 pin
The 3 pin half duplex mode eliminates the MISO pin from the protocol. This means that status bytes need
to be sent on the MOSI pin. Again the Master initiates a transfer by asserting SS# and sending out a
command byte. The Slave sends status back to the Master. If a write has been requested and the status
indicates that the Slave can accept data, MOSI should be changed to an output again and data will be
sent from Master to Slave.
Following this data, the Slave will send a further status byte if SS# remains active. If the status indicates
that more data can be written, the next data byte can be sent to the Slave and this process continues
until SS# is de-asserted. Figure 6.10 is an example of this:

6.3.5 Unmanaged Mode
The VNC2 SPI Slave also supports an unmanaged SPI mode. This is a simple data exchange between
Master and Slave. It operates in the standard 4 pin mode (SS#, CLK, MOSI and MISO) with all transfers
controlled by the SPI Master.
When the CPU wants to send data out of the SPI Slave it writes this into the spi_slave_data_tx register.
This will then be moved into the transfer shift register to wait for the SPI Master to request it. The SPI
Master will at some point assert SS# and start clocking data on MOSI with SCK. As this is shifted into the
transfer shift register, the SPI Slave will also be shifting data in the opposite direction on MISO. At the
end of the transfer the SPI Slave copies the received data from the shift register to spi_slave_data_rx as
seen in Figure 6.12.

6.3.6 VNC1L Legacy Interface
VNC2 SPI is compatible with the SPI slave of VNC1L. This is a custom protocol using 4 wires and will be
explained here.
The Master asserts the slave select, but in this case it is an active high signal. Following this, a 3 bit
command is sent on the MOSI pin (see Figure 6.15 for command structure). This has instructions on
whether a read or write is requested and if data or status is to be sent. For a data write, 8 bits of data
are sent on MOSI followed by a status bit being returned on MISO. If this bit is ‘0’ it means the data write
was successful. If it is ‘1’ it means that internal buffer was full and the write should be repeated. Finally,
the slave select is de-asserted. See Figure 6.13 for an example of this.
Figure 6.13 VNC1L Mode Data Write
Data reads are similar, with the data from Slave to Master coming on the MISO pin. If the status bit is ‘0’
it means the data byte sent is new data that has not been read before. If it is ‘1’ it means that it is old
data. See Figure 6.14 for an example.

6.3.6.1 SPI Setup Bit Encoding
The VNC1L compatible SPI interface differs from most other implementations in that it uses a 12 clock
sequence to transfer a single byte of data. In addition to a ‘Start’ state, the SPI master must send two
setup bits which indicate data direction and target address. The encoding of the setup bits is shown in
Table 6.8. A single data byte is transmitted in each SPI transaction, with the most significant bit
transmitted first.
After each transaction VNC2 returns a single status bit. This indicates if a Data Write was successful or a
Data Read was valid.

Table 6.8 SPI Setup Bit Encoding
The VNC2 SPI interface uses 4 signal lines: SCLK, SS, MOSI and MISO. The signals MOSI, MISO and SS
are always clocked on the rising edge of the SCLK signal.
SS signal must be raised high for the duration of the entire transaction. For data transactions, the SS
must be released for at least one clock cycle after a transaction has completed. It is not necessary to
release SS between Status Read operations.
The ‘Start’ state of MOSI and SS high on the rising edge of SCLK initiates the transfer. The transfer
finishes after 13 clock cycles, and the next transfer starts when MOSI is high during the rising edge of
CLK.
The following Figure 6.16 and Table 6.9 give details of the bus timing requirements.

6.3.6.2 SPI Master Data Read Transaction in VNC1L legacy mode
The SPI master must periodically poll for new data in VNC2 Transmit Buffer. It is recommended that this
is done first before sending any command.
The Start and Setup sequence is sent to VNC2 by the SPI master, see Figure 6.17.
The VNC2 clocks out data from its Transmit Buffer on subsequent rising edge clock cycles provided by the
SPI master. This is followed by a status bit generated by VNC2. The Data Read status bit is defined in
Table 6.10.
If the status bit indicates New Data then the byte received is valid. If it indicates Old Data then the
Transmit Buffer in VNC2 is empty and the byte of data received in the current transaction should be
disregarded.

Figure 6.17 SPI Master Data Read (VNC2 Slave Mode)
The status bit is only valid until the next rising edge of SCLK after the last data bit.
During the Data Read operation the SS signal must not be de-asserted.
The transfer completes after 12 clock cycles and the next transfer can begin when MOSI and SS are high
during the rising edge of SCLK.
6.3.6.3 SPI Master Data Write Transaction in VNC1L legacy mode
During an SPI master Data Write operation the Start and Setup sequence is sent by the SPI master to
VNC2, see Figure 6.18. This is followed by the SPI master transmitting each bit of the data to be written
to VNC2. The VNC2 then responds with a status bit on MISO on the rising edge of the next clock cycle.
The SPI master must read the status bit at the end of each write transaction to determine if the data was
written successfully to VNC2 Receive Buffer. The Data Write status bit is defined in Table 6.11.The
status bit is only valid until the next rising edge of SCLK after the last data bit.
If the status bit indicates Accept then the byte transmitted has been added to VNC2 Receive Buffer. If it
shows Reject then the Receive Buffer is full and the byte of data transmitted in the current transaction
should be re-transmitted by the SPI master to VNC2.
Any application should poll VNC2 Receive Buffer by retrying the Data Write operation until the data is
accepted.

6.3.6.4 SPI Master Status Read Transaction in VNC1L legacy mode
The VNC2 has a status byte which determines the state of the Receive and Transmit Buffers. The SPI
master must poll VNC2 and read the status byte.
The Start and Setup sequence is sent to VNC2 by the SPI master, see Figure 6.19. The VNC2 clocks out
its status byte on subsequent rising edge clock cycles from the SPI master. This is followed by a status
bit generated by VNC2 (also on the MISO) which will always be zero (indicating new data).
The meaning of the bits within the status byte sent by VNC2 during a Status Read operation is described
in Table 6.12. The result of the Status Read transaction is only valid during the transaction itself. Data
read and data write transactions must still check the status bit during a Data Read or Data Write cycle
regardless of the result of a Status Read operation.

Table 6.13 SPI Master Signal Names
The main purpose of the SPI Master block is to transfer data between an external SPI interface and the
VNC2. It does this under the control of the CPU and DMA engine via the on chip I/O bus.
An SPI master interface transfer can only be initiated by the SPI Master and begins with the slave select
signal being asserted. This is followed by a data byte being clocked out with the master supplying SCLK.
The master always supplies the first byte, which is called a command byte. After this the desired number
of data bytes are transferred before the transaction is terminated by the master de-asserting slave
select.
The SPI Master will transmit on MOSI as well as receive on MISO during every data stage. At the end of
each byte spi_tx_done and spi_rx_full_int are set. Figure 6.21 Typical SPI Master Timing and
Table 6.14 SPI Master Timing show an example of this.

When in Asynchronous FIFO interface mode, the timing of read and write operations on the FIFO
interface are shown in Figure 6.22 and Table 6.17.
In asynchronous mode an external device can control data transfer driving FIFO_WR# and FIFO_RD#
inputs. In contrast to synchronous mode, in asynchronous mode the 245 FIFO module generates the
output enable EN# signal. EN# signal is effectively the read signal RD#.
Current byte is available to be read when FIFO_RD# goes low. When FIFO_RD# goes high, FIFO_RXF#
output will also go high. It will only become low again when there is another byte to read.
When FIFO_WR# goes low FIFO_TXE# flag will always go high. FIFO_TXE# goes low again only when
there is still space for data to be written in to the module.

6.7.1 Read / Write Transaction Synchronous FIFO Mode
When in Synchronous FIFO interface mode, the timing of read and write operations on the FIFO interface
are shown in Figure 6.23 and Table 6.19.
In synchronous mode data can be transmitted to and from the FIFO module on each clock edge. An
external device synchronises to the CLKOUT output and it also has access to the output enable OE# input
to control data flow. An external device should drive output enable OE# low before pulling RD# line
down.
When bursts of data are to be read from the module RD# should be kept low. RXF# remains low when
there is still data to be read. Similarly when bursts of data are to be written to the module WR# should
be kept low. TXE# remains low when there is still space available for the data to be written.

6.8 General Purpose Timers
In VNC2 there are 4 General Purpose Timers available. Three are available to the designer and one is
reserved for the RTOS.
The timers have the following features:
16 bit
Count down
One shot and auto-reload
enable
Interrupt on zero
6.9 Pulse Width Modulation
VNC2 provides 8 Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) outputs. These can be used to generate PWM signals
which can be used to control motors, DC/DC converters, AC/DC supplies, etc. Further information is
available in an Application Note AN_140 - Vinculum-II PWM Example.
The features of the PWM module are as follows:
8 PWM outputs
A trigger input
8-bit prescaler
16-bit counter
Generation of up to 4-pulse signal with controlled output enable and configurable initial state
Interrupt
A single PWM cycle can have up to 4 pulses (8 edges). The PWM block uses a 16-bit counter to
determine the period of a single PWM cycle. This counter counts system clocks which can also be divided
by an optional 8-bit prescaler. The PWM drivers allow the user to select when PWM output toggles. These
values correspond to the values of 16-bit counter. For example, on the timing diagram below - Figure
6.24, the 16-bit counter counts to 23 and pwm_out[0] output toggles when the counter’s current value is
equal to 7, 8, 12, 14, 15, 16, 19 and 22.

Figure 6.24 PWM – Timing Diagram
The user can also select the initial state of each of the PWM outputs (HI or LOW). PWM outputs can also
be enabled continuously or a cycle can be repeated 1..255 times. The PWM cycle can be started by the
PWM driver or externally using a trigger input.
6.10 General Purpose Input Output
VNC2 provides up to 40 configurable Input/output pins depending on the package. The Input/output pins
are connected to Ports A through E. These ports are controlled by the VNC2 CPU. All ports are
configurable to be either inputs or outputs and allow level or edge driven interrupts to be generated.
To simplify the use of the 40 available GPIO signals, they have been grouped into 5 "ports", identified as
A, B, C, D and E. Each port is 1 byte wide and the RTOS drivers will allow each port to be individually
accessed.
Each GPIO signal is mapped on to a bit of the port value. For example, gpio[A0] is the least significant
bit of the value read from or written to GPIO port A. Similarly, gpio[A7] is the most significant bit of the
value read from or written to GPIO port A (see Figure 6.25 GPIO Port Groups).
Each pin can be individually configured as input or output. GPIO port A supports an interrupt that can be
used to detect a state change of any of its 8 pins. Port B features a more sophisticated set of 4
configurable interrupts that can be associated with individual pins and supports several conditions such
as positive edge, negative edge, high or low.

7 USB Interfaces
VNC2 has two USB 1.1 and USB 2.0 compliant interfaces available either as a USB host or slave device
capable of supporting 1.5Mb/s (Low Speed) and 12Mb/s (full Speed) transactions. The USB specification
defines 4 transfer types that are all supported by VNC2:
Interrupt transfer: Used for legacy devices where the device is periodically polled to see if the
device has data to transfer e.g. Mouse, Keyboard. VNC2 interrupt transfers are valid for low- and
full-speed transactions.
Bulk transfer: Used for transferring large blocks of data that have no periodic or transfer rate
requirement e.g. USB to RS232 (FT232R device), memory sticks. VNC2 bulk transfers are only
valid for full-speed transactions.
Isochronous transfer: Used for transferring data that requires a constant delivery rate e.g. web
cam, wireless modem. VNC2 isochronous transfers are only valid for full-speed transactions.
Control transfer: Used to transfer specific requests to all types USB devices (most commonly
used during device configuration). VNC2 control transfers are valid for low- and full-speed
transfers.
USB 2.0 - 480Mb/s (High Speed) transactions are not supported as the power requirements are deemed
excessive for VNC2 target applications. VNC2 configured to Full speed is supported.
VNC2 has two main USB modes of operation: host mode or client (or Slave) mode. As a client, VNC2 is
able to connect to a PC and act as a USB peripheral. At the same time as being a client the second USB
interface is also able to act as a host and connect to a second USB device using two separate ports (i.e.
Port 0 – Host Port 1- Client). Each USB interface can be either a host or a client. It is not possible to
change from host to client or client to host “on-the-fly”. The following diagrams in figure 7.1 give

8 Firmware
VNC2 firmware model has evolved considerably since VINC1L. For reasons of code maintainability,
performance, stability and ease of use from the point of view of the customer, VNC2 has a modular
firmware model.
VNC2 firmware can be separated into 4 categories:
VNC2 real-time operating system (RTOS).
VNC2 device drivers.
User applications – Toolchain.
Precompiled Firmware.
8.1 RTOS
The VNC2 RTOS (VOS) is a pre-emptive priority-based multi-tasking operating system. VOS has been
developed by FTDI and is available to customers for use in their own VNC2 based systems free of charge.
VOS is supplied as linkable object files.
A full explanation and how to use VOS is available in a separate application note which can be
downloaded from the FTDI website.
8.2 Device drivers
To facilitate communication between user applications and the VNC2 hardware peripherals FTDI provides
device drivers which operate with VOS. In addition to the hardware device drivers, FTDI provides
function drivers (available from the FTDI website) which build upon the basic hardware device driver
functionality for a specific purpose. For example, drivers for standard USB device classes may be created
which build upon the USB host hardware driver to implement a BOMS class, CDC, printer class or even a
specific vendor class device driver.
8.3 Firmware – Software Development Toolchain
The VNC2 provides customers with the opportunity to customise the firmware and perform useful tasks
without an external MCU. A Firmware application note is available to download from the FTDI website,
this give further details and operating instructions. The VNC2 Software Development Toolchain consists of
the following components:
Compiler
The compiler will take high-level source code and compile it into object code or direct to
programmable code.
Linker
The linker will take object code and libraries and link the code to produce either libraries or
programmable code. It is designed to be as hardware independent as possible to allow reuse in
future hardware devices.
Debugger
The debugger allows a programmer to test code on the hardware platform using a special
communication channel to the CPU. It is also used to debug code – run, stop, single step,
breakpoints etc.
IDE
All compiler, simulator and debugger functions are integrated into a single application for
programmers. It provides a specialised text editor which is used generally used to develop
application code, debugging and simulation.

8.4 Precompiled Firmware
VNC2 can be programmed with various pre-compiled firmware profiles to allow a designer to easily
change the functionality of the chip.
The following pre-compiled ROM files are currently available:
V2DAP firmware: USB Host for single Flash Disk and general purpose USB peripherals.
Selectable UART, FIFO or SPI interface command monitor. Offers a migration path from VNC1L
designs with VDAP firmware.
V2DPS firmware: USB Host for single Flash Disk and general purpose USB peripherals and USB
peripheral emulating a FT232 on a Host computer. Offers a migration path for VNC1L designs
with VDPS.
V2F2F firmware: USB Host for two Flash Disks with file copy functions. Offers a migration path
for VNC1L designs with VF2F firmware.
CDC Modem Sample Application: Demonstrates connection of a CDC device to USB Port 1 by
establishing a link between the CDC device and the UART of the VNC2.
USBHost FT232 UART Echo Sample Application: Demonstrates emulation of a FTDI FT232
device on USB Port 1. Data is looped back.
Designers are advised to refer to the FTDI website for the most current details on available Firmware.

10 Application Examples
10.1 Example VNC2 Schematic (MCU – UART Interface)
VNC2 can be configured to communicate with a microcontroller using a UART interface. An example of
this is shown in Figure 10.1.
Figure 10.1 VNC2 Schematic (MCU – UART Interface)
Note: This sample circuit is not intended to be a complete design. It shows the minimum connections
for a basic VNC2 circuit. The value of the capacitors connected to the crystal will depend on the
requirements of the crystal. The 5V0_SW power signal assumes proper switching and over-current
detection conform to the USB-IF specifications for a USB host port. The 120uF capacitor should be a lowESR type. The value of the ferrite beads may need adjusted for EMI compatibility. Input and output
capacitors for the 3.3V regulator should be chosen according to the datasheet of the selected part. The
VNC2 outputs connect to the MCU inputs and MCU outputs to VNC2 inputs (TXD to RXD and RTS# to
CTS# in each direction).
Note for VNC2-48L1B only: With the 48-pin LQFP package, pin 7 is not connected (VREGOUT). The
regulator output has an internal connection to VCCPLLIN to accommodate a migration path from VNC1L
designs. In this case, pin 3 (VCCPLLIN) requires only one 100nF capacitor to ground. All other packages
require the external circuitry shown to connect VREGOUT to VCCPLLIN.

11 Package Parameters
VNC2 is available in six RoHS Compliant packages, three QFN packages (64QFN, 48QFN & 32QFN) and
three LQFP packages (64LQFP, 48LQFP & 32LQFP). All packages are lead (Pb) free and use a ‘green’
compound. The packages are fully compliant with European Union directive 2002/95/EC.
The mechanical drawings of all six packages are shown in sections 11.2 to 11.7– all dimensions are in
millimetres.
The solder reflow profile for all packages can be viewed in Section 11.8.
11.1 VNC2 Package Markings
An example of the markings on each package is shown in Figure 11.1. The FTDI part number is too long
for the 32 QFN package so in this case the last two digits are wrapped down onto the date code line as
shown in Figure 11.2.
