FT245R USB FIFO I.C.

Incorporating FTDIChip-ID™ Security Dongle

The FT245R is the latest device to be added to FTDI’s range of USB FIFO interface Integrated Circuit Devices.

The FT245R is a USB to parallel FIFO interface, with the new FTDIChip-ID™ security dongle feature. In addition,

asynchronous and synchronous bit bang interface modes are available. USB to parallel designs using the FT245R

have been further simpliﬁed by fully integrating the external EEPROM, clock circuit and USB resistors onto the device.

The FT245R adds a new function compared with its predecessors, effectively making it a “2-in-1” chip for some

application areas. A unique number (the FTDIChip-ID™) is burnt into the device during manufacture and is readable

over USB, thus forming the basis of a security dongle which can be used to protect customer application software

from being copied.

The FT245R is available in Pb-free (RoHS compliant) compact 28-Lead SSOP and QFN-32 packages.

2. Enhancements

2.1 Device Enhancements and Key Features

This section summarises the enhancements and the key features of the FT245R device. For further details, consult

the device pin-out description and functional description sections.

Integrated Clock Circuit - Previous generations of FTDI’s USB to parallel FIFO interface devices required an external

crystal or ceramic resonator. The clock circuit has now been integrated onto the device meaning that no crystal or

ceramic resonator is required. However, if required, an external 12MHz crystal can be used as the clock source.

Integrated EEPROM - Previous generations of FTDI’s USB to parallel FIFO interface devices required an external

EEPROM if the device were to use USB Vendor ID (VID), Product ID (PID), serial number and product description

strings other than the default values in the device itself. This external EEPROM has now been integrated onto the

FT245R chip meaning that all designs have the option to change the product description strings. A user area of the

internal EEPROM is available for storing additional data. The internal EEPROM is programmable in circuit, over USB

without any additional voltage requirement.

Preprogrammed EEPROM - The FT245R is supplied with its internal EEPROM preprogrammed with a serial number

which is unique to each individual device. This, in most cases, will remove the need to program the device EEPROM.

Integrated USB Resistors - Previous generations of FTDI’s USB to parallel FIFO interface devices required two

external series resistors on the USBDP and USBDM lines, and a 1.5 kΩ pull up resistor on USBDP. These three

resistors have now been integrated onto the device.

Integrated AVCC Filtering - Previous generations of FTDI’s USB to parallel FIFO interface devices had a separate

AVCC pin - the supply to the internal PLL. This pin required an external R-C ﬁlter. The separate AVCC pin is now

connected internally to VCC, and the ﬁlter has now been integrated onto the chip.

Less External Components - Integration of the crystal, EEPROM, USB resistors, and AVCC ﬁlter will substantially

reduce the bill of materials cost for USB interface designs using the FT245R compared to its FT245BM predecessor.

Transmit and Receive Buffer Smoothing - The FT245R’s 256 byte receive buffer and 128 byte transmit buffer utilise

new buffer smoothing technology to allow for high data throughput.

Enhanced Asynchronous Bit Bang Mode with RD# and WR# Strobes - The FT245R supports FTDI’s BM chip bit

bang mode. In bit bang mode, the eight parallel FIFO data bus 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 prescaler). With the FT245R device this

mode has been enhanced so that the internal RD# and WR# strobes are now brought out of the device 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

Synchronous Bit Bang Mode - Synchronous bit bang mode differs from asynchronous bit bang mode in that the

interface pins are only read when the device is written to. Thus making it easier for the controlling program to measure

the response to an output stimulus as the data returned is synchronous to the output data. The feature was previously

seen in FTDI’s FT2232C device. This option will be described more fully in a separate application note.

Lower Supply Voltage - Previous generations of the chip required 5V supply on the VCC pin. The FT245R will work

with a Vcc supply in the range 3.3V - 5V. Bus powered designs would still take their supply from the 5V on the USB

bus, but for self powered designs where only 3.3V is available, and there is no 5V supply, there is no longer any need

for an additional external regulator.

Integrated Level Converter on FIFO Interface and Control Signals - VCCIO pin supply can be from 1.8V to 5V.

Connecting the VCCIO pin to 1.8V, 2.8V, or 3.3V allows the device to directly interface to 1.8V, 2.8V or 3.3V and other

logic families without the need for external level converter I.C.s

5V / 3.3V / 2.8V / 1.8V Logic Interface - The FT245R provides true CMOS Drive Outputs and TTL level Inputs.

Page 4

Integrated Power-On-Reset (POR) Circuit- The device incorporates an internal POR function. A RESET# pin is

available in order to allow external logic to reset the FT245R where required. However, for many applications the

RESET# pin can be left unconnected, or pulled up to VCCIO.

Wake Up Function - If USB is in suspend mode, and remote wake up has been enabled in the internal EEPROM (it is

enabled by default), the RXF# pin becomes an input. Strobing this pin low will cause the FT245R to request a resume

from suspend on the USB bus. Normally this can be used to wake up the host PC from suspend

Lower Operating and Suspend Current - The device operating supply current has been further reduced to 15mA,

and the suspend current has been reduced to around 70μA. This allows a greater margin for peripherals to meet the

USB suspend current limit of 500μA.

Low USB Bandwidth Consumption - The operation of the USB interface to the FT245R has been designed to use

as little as possible of the total USB bandwidth available from the USB host controller.

High Output Drive Option - The parallel FIFO interface and the four FIFO handshake pins can be made to drive

out at three times the standard signal drive level thus allowing multiple devices to be driven, or devices that require a

greater signal drive strength to be interfaced to the FT245R. This option is conﬁgured in the internal EEPROM.

Power Management Control for USB Bus Powered, High Current Designs- The PWREN# signal can be used to

directly drive a transistor or P-Channel MOSFET in applications where power switching of external circuitry is required.

An option in the internal EEPROM makes the device gently pull down on its FIFO interface lines when the power

is shut off (PWREN# is high). In this mode any residual voltage on external circuitry is bled to GND when power is

removed, thus ensuring that external circuitry controlled by PWREN# resets reliably when power is restored.

FTDIChip-ID™ - Each FT245R is assigned a unique number which is burnt into the device at manufacture. This ID

number cannot be reprogrammed by product manufacturers or end-users. This allows the possibility of using FT245R

based dongles for software licensing. Further to this, a renewable license scheme can be implemented based on the

FTDIChip-ID™ number when encrypted with other information. This encrypted number can be stored in the user area

of the FT245R internal EEPROM, and can be decrypted, then compared with the protected FTDIChip-ID™ to verify

that a license is valid. Web based applications can be used to maintain product licensing this way. An application note

describing this feature is available separately from the FTDI website.

Improved EMI Performance - The reduced operating current and improved on-chip VCC decoupling signiﬁcantly

improves the ease of PCB design requirements in order to meet FCC, CE and other EMI related speciﬁcations.

Programmable FIFO TX Buffer Timeout - The FIFO TX buffer timeout is used to ﬂush remaining data from the

receive buffer. This timeout defaults to 16ms, but is programmable over USB in 1ms increments from 1ms to 255ms,

thus allowing the device to be optimised for protocols that require fast response times from short data packets.

Extended Operating Temperature Range - The FT232R operates over an extended temperature range of -40º to

+85º C thus allowing the device to be used in automotive and industrial applications.

New Package Options - The FT245R is available in two packages - a compact 28 pin SSOP ( FT245RL) and an

ultra-compact 5mm x 5mm pinless QFN-32 package ( FT245RQ). Both packages are lead ( Pb ) free, and use a

‘green’ compound. Both packages are fully compliant with European Union directive 2002/95/EC.

3. Block Diagram

3.1 Block Diagram (Simpliﬁed)

Figure 1 - FT245R Block Diagram

3.2 Functional Block Descriptions

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 this block is to power

the USB Transceiver and the Reset Generator Cells, rather than to power external logic. However, external circuitry

requiring 3.3V nominal at a current of around 50mA could also draw its power from the 3V3OUT pin if required.

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 receiver and two single

ended receivers provide USB data in, SEO and USB Reset condition detection. This Cell also incorporates internal

USB series resistors on the USB data lines, and a 1.5kΩ pull up resistor on USBDP.

USB DPLL - The USB DPLL cell locks on to the incoming NRZI USB data and provides separate recovered clock and

data signals to the SIE block.

Internal 12MHz Oscillator - The Internal 12MHz Oscillator cell generates a 12MHz reference clock input to the x4

Clock multiplier. The 12MHz Oscillator is also used as the reference clock for the SIE, USB Protocol Engine and FIFO

controller blocks

Clock Multiplier - The Clock Multiplier takes the 12MHz input from the Oscillator Cell and generates the 48MHz clock

reference used for the USB DPLL block.

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 to the USB 2.0 speciﬁcation, it performs bit stufﬁng / un-stufﬁng

and CRC5 / CRC16 generation / checking 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 (Chapter 9) requests generated by the USB host controller and the commands for

controlling the functional parameters of the FIFO.

FIFO TX Buffer (128 byte) - Data written into the FIFO using the WR pin is stored in the FIFO TX (transmit) 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.

FIFO RX Buffer (256 byte) - Data sent from the USB host controller to the FIFO via the USB data Out endpoint is

stored in the FIFO RX (receive) buffer and is removed from the buffer by reading the contents of the FIFO using the

RD# pin.

FIFO Controller - The FIFO controller handles the transfer of data between the external FIFO interface pins (D0 - D7)

and the FIFO transmit and receive buffers. A new feature, which is enabled in the internal EEPROM allows high signal

drive strength on the FIFO parallel data bus and handshake control pins.

RESET Generator - The integrated Reset Generator Cell provides a reliable power-on reset to the device internal

circuitry on power up. A RESET# input is provided to allow other devices to reset the FT245R. RESET# can be tied

to VCCIO or left unconnected, unless there is a requirement to reset the FT245R device from external logic or an

external reset generator I.C.

Internal EEPROM - The internal EEPROM in the FT245R can be used to store USB Vendor ID (VID), Product ID

(PID), device serial number, product description string, and various other USB conﬁguration descriptors. The device is

supplied with the internal EEPROM settings preprogrammed as described in Section 10.

4 VCCIO PWR +1.8V to +5.25V supply to the FIFO Interface and Control group pins (1...3, 5, 6, 9...14, 22, 23). In USB bus

powered designs connect to 3V3OUT to drive out at 3.3V levels, or connect to VCC to drive out at 5V CMOS

level. This pin can also be supplied with an external 1.8V - 2.8V supply in order to drive out at lower levels. It

should be noted that in this case this supply should originate from the same source as the supply to Vcc. This

means that in bus powered designs a regulator which is supplied by the 5V on the USB bus should be used.

Section 4.5 for timing diagram.

23 RXF# Output When high, do not read data from the FIFO. When low, there is data available in the FIFO which can be read

by strobing RD# low, then high again. During reset this signal pin is tri-state, but pulled up to VCCIO via an

internal 200kΩ resistor. See Section 4.5 for timing diagram.

If the Remote Wakeup option is enabled in the internal EEPROM, during USB suspend mode (PWREN# = 1)

RXF# becomes an input which can be used to wake up the USB host from suspend mode. Strobing the pin

low will cause the device to request a resume on the USB bus.

*Contact FTDI Support for details of how to use an external crystal, ceramic resonator, or oscillator with the FT245R.

powered designs connect to 3V3OUT to drive out at 3.3V levels, or connect to VCC to drive out at 5V CMOS

level. This pin can also be supplied with an external 1.8V - 2.8V supply in order to drive out at lower levels. It

should be noted that in this case this supply should originate from the same source as the supply to Vcc. This

7. Device Conﬁgurations

Please note that pin numbers on the FT245R chip in this section have deliberately been left out as they vary between

the FT245RL and FT245RQ versions of the device. All of these conﬁgurations apply to both package options for the

FT245R device. Please refer to Section 4 for the package option pin-out and signal descriptions.

7.1 Bus Powered Conﬁguration

Figure 13 - Bus Powered Conﬁguration

Figure 13 illustrates the FT245R 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) On plug-in to USB, the device must draw no more than 100mA.

ii) On USB Suspend the device must draw no more than 500μA.

iii) A Bus Powered High Power USB Device (one that draws more than 100mA) should use the PWREN# pin to keep

the current below 100mA on plug-in and 500μA on USB suspend.

iv) A device that consumes more than 100mA can not be plugged into a USB Bus Powered Hub

v) No device can draw more that 500mA from the USB Bus.

The power descriptor in the internal EEPROM should be programmed to match the current draw of the device.

A Ferrite Bead is connected in series with USB power to prevent noise from the device and associated circuitry (EMI)

being radiated down the USB cable to the Host. The value of the Ferrite Bead depends on the total current required by

the circuit – a suitable range of Ferrite Beads is available from Steward (www.steward.com) for example Steward Part

7.2 Self Powered Conﬁguration

Figure 14 Self Powered Conﬁguration

Figure 14 illustrates the FT245R in a typical USB self powered conﬁguration. A USB Self Powered device gets its

power from its own power supply and does not draw current from the USB bus. The basic rules for USB Self power

devices are as follows –

i) A Self Powered device should not force current down the USB bus when the USB Host or Hub Controller is

powered down.

ii) A Self Powered Device can use as much current as it likes during normal operation and USB suspend as it has its

own power supply.

iii) A Self Powered Device can be used with any USB Host and both Bus and Self Powered USB Hubs

The power descriptor in the internal EEPROM should be programmed to a value of zero (self powered).

In order to meet requirement (i) the USB Bus Power is used to control the RESET# Pin of the FT245R device. When

the USB Host or Hub is powered up the internal 1.5kΩ resistor on USBDP is pulled up to 3.3V, thus identifying the

device as a full speed device to USB. When the USB Host or Hub power is off, RESET# will go low and the device will

be held in reset. As RESET# is low, the internal 1.5kΩ resistor will not be pulled up to 3.3V, so no current will be forced

down USBDP via the 1.5kΩ pull-up resistor when the host or hub is powered down. Failure to do this may cause some

USB host or hub controllers to power up erratically.

Figure 10 illustrates a self powered design which has a 3.3V - 5V supply. A design which is interfacing to 2.8V - 1.8V

logic would have a 2.8V - 1.8V supply to VCCIO, and a 3.3V - 5V supply to VCC

Note : When the FT245R is in reset, the FIFO interface and control pins all go tri-state. These pins have internal

200kΩ pull-up resistors to VCCIO, so they will gently pull high unless driven by some external logic.

7.3 USB Bus Powered with Power Switching Conﬁguration

Figure 15 - Bus Powered with Power Switching Conﬁguration

USB Bus powered circuits need to be able to power down in USB suspend mode in order to meet the <= 500μA

total USB suspend current requirement (including external logic). Some external logic can 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

FT245R provides a simple but effective way of turning off power to external circuitry during USB suspend.

Figure 15 shows how to use a discrete P-Channel Logic Level MOSFET to control the power to external logic circuits.

A suitable device would be 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 are used to limit the current surge when

the MOSFET turns on. Without the soft start circuit there is a danger that the transient power surge of the MOSFET

turning on will reset the FT245R, or the USB host / hub controller. The values used here allow attached circuitry to

power up with a slew rate of ~12.5V per millisecond, in other words the output voltage will transition from GND to 5V in

approximately 400 microseconds.

Alternatively, a dedicated power switch I.C. with inbuilt “soft-start” can be used instead of a MOSFET. A suitable power

switch I.C. for such an application would be a Micrel (www.micrel.com) MIC2025-2BM or equivalent.

Please note the following points in connection with power controlled designs –

i) The logic to be controlled must have its own reset circuitry so that it will automatically reset itself when power is re-

applied on coming out of suspend.

ii) Set the Pull-down on Suspend option in the internal EEPROM.

iii) The PWREN# pin should be used to switch the power to the external circuitry.

iv) For USB high-power bus powered device (one that consumes greater than 100mA, and up to 500mA of current

from the USB bus), the power consumption of the device should be set in the max power ﬁeld in the internal

EEPROM. A high-power bus powered device must use this descriptor in the internal EEPROM to inform the

system of its power requirements.

v) For 3.3V power controlled circuits the VCCIO pin must not be powered down with the external circuitry (the

PWREN# signal gets its VCC supply from VCCIO). Either connect the power switch between the output of the

3.3V regulator and the external 3.3V logic or power VCCIO from the 3V3OUT pin of the FT245R.

7.4 USB Bus Powered with 3.3V / 5V Supply and Logic Drive / IO Supply Voltage

Figure 16 - Bus Powered with 3.3V / 5V Supply and Logic Drive

Figure 16 shows a conﬁguration where a jumper switch is used to allow the FT245R to be interfaced with a 3.3V or

5V logic devices. The VCCIO pin is either supplied with 5V from the USB bus, or with 3.3V from the 3V3OUT pin. The

supply to VCCIO is also used to supply external logic.

Please note the following in relation to bus powered designs of this type -

i) The PWREN# signal should be used to power down external logic during USB suspend mode, in order to comply

with the limit of 500μA. If this is not possible, use the conﬁguration shown in Section 7.3.

ii) The maximum current source from USB Bus during normal operation should not exceed 100mA, otherwise a bus

powered design with power switching (Section 7.3) should be used.

Another possible conﬁguration would be to use a discrete low dropout regulator which is supplied by the 5V on the

USB bus to supply 2.8V - 1.8V to the VCCIO pin and to the external logic. VCC would be supplied with the 5V from

the USB bus. With VCCIO connected to the output of the low dropout regulator, would in turn will cause the FT245R

I/O pins to drive out at 2.8V - 1.8V logic levels.

For USB bus powered circuits some considerations have to be taken into account when selecting the regulator –

iii) The regulator must be capable of sustaining its output voltage with an input voltage of 4.35V. A Low Drop Out

(L.D.O.) regulator must be selected.

iv) The quiescent current of the regulator must be low in order to meet the USB suspend total current requirement of

<= 500μA during USB suspend.

An example of a regulator family that meets these requirements is the MicroChip / Telcom TC55 Series of devices

(www.microchip.com). These devices can supply up to 250mA current and have a quiescent current of under 1μA.

8.1 USB to MCU FIFO Interface Example

Figure 17 -Example USB to MCU FIFO Interface

Figure 17 illustrates a typical interfacing between the FT245R and a Microcontroller (MCU) FIFO interface. This

example uses two I/O ports: one port (8 bits) to transfer data, and the other port (4 or 5 bits) to monitor the TXE# and

RXF# status bits and generate the RD# and WR strobes to the FT245R, as required. Using PWREN# for this function

is optional.

If the Remote Wakeup option is enabled in the internal EEPROM, during USB suspend mode RXF# becomes an input

which can be used to wake up the USB host controller by strobing the pin low.
