FT200XD USB I2C SLAVE IC Datasheet
Version 1.4
Document No.: FT_000628 Clearance No.: FTDI# 265
4 Function Description
The FT200XD is a package and pin optimised USB to I2C interface device which simplifies USB to I2C
designs and reduces external component count by fully integrating an external EEPROM and a clock
circuit which requires no external crystal in a small form factor 3x3mm 10 pin package. It has been
designed to operate efficiently with a USB host controller by using as little of the total USB bandwidth
available as possible.
4.1 Key Features
Functional Integration. Fully integrated MTP memory, clock generation, AVCC filtering, Power-
On_Reset (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 is 1 configurable CBUS I/O pin.
These configurable options are defined in section 3.2.
The device is supplied with the most commonly used pin definitions pre-programmed - see Section 10 for
details.
Asynchronous Bit Bang Mode with RD# and WR# Strobes. The FT200XD supports FTDI’s previous
chip generation bit-bang mode. In bit-bang mode, the 2 I2C lines can be switched from the regular
interface mode to a 2-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 FT200XD 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 FT200XD 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.
Low Power Consumption, The FT200XD is capable of operating at a voltage supply between +3.3V and
+5V 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 I2C interface allows the FT200XD to interface to I2C logic
running at +1.8V to +3.3V (5V tolerant).
4.2 Functional Block Descriptions
The following paragraphs detail each function within the FT200XD. Please refer to the block diagram
shown in Figure 2.1.
Internal MTP Memory. The internal MTP memory in the FT200XD 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 FT200XD is
supplied with the internal MTP memory pre-programmed as described in Section10. A user area of the
internal MTP memory is available to system designers to allow storing of additional data from the user
application over USB. The internal MTP memory descriptors can be programmed in circuit, over USB
without any additional programming voltage requirements. The descriptors can be programmed using the
FTDI utility software called FT_PROG, which can be downloaded from FTDI Utilitieson the FTDI website
(www.ftdichip.com). Additionally the MTP memory can be configured over the I2C interface.
+1.8V LDO Regulator. The +1.8V LDO regulator generates the +1.8V reference voltage for driving the
internal core of the IC.
+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 connected 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
