Ltd. 2005 Page 1 of 24 FT245BL USB FIFO ( USB - Parallel ) I.C. 1.1 General Description The FT245BL provides an easy cost-effective method of transferring data to / from a peripheral and a host P.C. at up to 8 Million bits (1 Megabyte) per second. Its simple, FIFO-like design makes it easy to interface to any microcontroller or microprocessor via IO ports. To send data from the peripheral to the host computer, simply write the byte-wide data into the module when TXE# is low. If the (384-byte) transmit buffer fills up or is busy storing the previously written byte, the device keeps TXE# high in order to stop further data from being written until some of the FIFO data has been transferred over USB to the host. TXE# goes high after every byte written. When the host sends data to the peripheral over USB, the device will take RXF# low to let the peripheral know that at least one byte of data is available. The peripheral can read a data byte every time RXF# goes low. RXF# goes high after every byte read. By using FTDI's virtual COM port drivers, the peripheral looks like a standard COM port to the application software. Commands to set the baud rate are ignored - the device always transfers data at its fastest rate regardless of the application's baud-rate setting. Alternatively, FTDI's D2XX drivers allow application software to access the device "directly" through a published DLL based API. Details of the current VCP and D2XX driver can be found on FTDI's web site ( http://www.ftdichip.com ) 2.0 Enhancements This section summarises the enhancements of the 2nd generation device compared to its FT8U245AM predecessor. For further details, consult the device pin-out description and functional descriptions. * Integrated Power-On-Reset (POR) Circuit The device now incorporates an internal POR function. The existing RESET# pin is maintained * Integrated Level Converter on FIFO interface in order to allow external logic to reset the device and control signals where required, however for many applications The previous devices would drive the FIFO and this pin can now be either left N/C or hard wired control signals at 5V CMOS logic levels.

In addition, a new reset output pin new device has a separate VCCIO pin allowing (RSTOUT#) is provided in order to allow the new the device to directly interface to 3.3V and other POR circuit to provide a stable reset to external logic families without the need for external level MCU and other devices. RSTOUT# was the TEST converter I.C.'s pin on the previous generation of devices. * * Power Management control for USB Bus Integrated RCCLK Circuit Powered, high current devices In the previous devices, an external RC circuit A new PWREN# signal is provided which can be was required to ensure that the oscillator and used to directly drive a transistor or P-Channel clock multiplier PLL frequency was stable prior MOSFET in applications where power switching to enabling the clock internal to the device.

A new EEPROM circuit is now embedded on-chip - the pin assigned based option makes the device pull gently down to this function is now designated as the TEST pin its FIFO interface lines when the power is shut and should be tied to GND for normal operation. off (PWREN# is High). In this mode, any residual DS245BL Version 1.6 (c) Future Technology Devices Intl.

This timeout is now power is removed thus ensuring that external programmable over USB in 1ms increments circuitry controlled by PWREN# resets reliably from 1ms to 255ms, thus allowing the device to when power is restored. PWREN# can also be be better optimised for protocols requiring faster used by external circuitry to determine when USB response times from short data packets. is in suspend mode (PWREN# goes high). * * Relaxed VCC Decoupling Send Immediate / WakeUp (SI / WU) signal The 2nd generation devices now incorporate a level The new Send Immediate / WakeUp signal of on-chip VCC decoupling. Though this does combines two functions on a single pin. If USB is not eliminate the need for external decoupling in suspend mode (and remote wakeup is enabled capacitors, it significantly improves the ease of in the EEPROM), strobing this pin low will cause PCB design requirements to meet FCC, CE and the device to request a resume from suspend other EMI related specifications. (WakeUp) on the USB Bus. Normally, this can be used to wake up the Host PC. During normal * Bit Bang Mode operation, if this pin is strobed low any data in the The 2nd generation device has a new option device RX buffer will be sent out over USB on the referred to as "Bit Bang" mode. In Bit Bang mode, next Bulk-IN request from the drivers regardless of the eight FIFO data lines can be switched between the packet size. This can be used to optimise USB FIFO interface mode and an 8-bit Parallel IO transfer speed for some applications. port. Data packets can be sent to the device and they will be sequentially sent to the interface at * Lower Suspend Current a rate controlled by an internal timer (equivalent Integration of RCCLK within the device and internal to the prescaler of the FT232BL device). As well design improvements reduce the suspend current as allowing the device to be used stand-alone of the FT245BL to under 100uA typical (excluding as a general purpose IO controller for example the 1.5K pull-up on USBDP) in USB suspend controlling lights, relays and switches, some other mode. This allows greater margin for peripherals to interesting possibilities exist. For instance, it may meet the USB Suspend current limit of 500uA. be possible to connect the device to an SRAM configurable FPGA as supplied by vendors such as * * Support for USB Isochronous Transfers Altera and Xilinx. The FPGA device would normally Whilst USB Bulk transfer is usually the best be un-configured (i.e. have no defined function) at choice for data transfer, the scheduling time of the power-up. Application software on the PC could data is not guaranteed. For applications where use Bit Bang Mode to download configuration scheduling latency takes priority over data integrity data to the FPGA which would define its hardware such as transferring audio and low bandwidth function, then after the FPGA device is configured video data, the new device now offers an option of the FT245BL can switch back into FIFO interface USB Isochronous transfer via an option bit in the mode to allow the programmed FPGA device EEPROM. to communicate with the PC over USB. This Programmable FIFO TX Buffer Timeout approach allows a customer to create a "generic" In the previous device, the TX buffer timeout USB peripheral who's hardware function can be used to flush remaining data from the TX buffer defined under control of the application software. DS245BL Version 1.6 (c) Future Technology Devices Intl. Ltd. 2005 Page 3 of 24 FT245BL USB FIFO ( USB - Parallel ) I.C. The FPGA based hardware can be easily upgraded * Multiple Device Support without EEPROM or totally changed simply by changing the FPGA When no EEPROM (or a blank or invalid configuration data file. Application notes, software EEPROM) is attached to the device, the FT245BL and development modules for this application area no longer gives a serial number as part of its will be available from FTDI and other 3 party USB descriptor. This allows multiple devices to developers. be simultaneously connected to the same PC. rd However, we still highly recommend that EEPROM * is used, as without serial numbers a device can Less External Support Components As well as eliminating the RCCLK RC network, and only be identified by which hub port in the USB tree for most applications the need for an external reset it is connected to which can change if the end user circuit, we have also eliminated the requirement re-plugs the device into a different USB port. for a 100K pull-up on EECS to select 6MHz operation. When the FT245BL is being used * EEREQ# / EEGNT# without the configuration EEPROM, EECS, EESK These (FT8U245AM) pins are no longer supported and EEDATA can now be left n/c. For circuits on the FT245BL device. They have been replaced requiring a long reset time (where the device is with the new SI / WU and PWREN# signals reset externally using a reset generator I.C., or respectively. reset is controlled by the IO port of a MCU, FPGA or ASIC device) an external transistor circuit is no longer required as the 1.5K pull-up resistor on USBDP can be wired to the RSTOUT# pin instead of to 3.3V. Note : RSTOUT# drives out at 3.3V level, not at 5V VCC level. This is the preferred configuration for new designs. * Extended EEPROM Support The previous generation of devices only supported EEPROM of type 93C46 (64 x 16 bit). The new devices will also work with EEPROM type 93C56 (128 x 16 bit) and 93C66 (256 x 16 bit). The extra space is not used by the device, however it is available for use by other external MCU / logic whilst the FT245BL is being held in reset. * USB 2.0 ( full speed option ) A new EEPROM based option allows the FT245BL to return a USB 2.0 device descriptor as opposed to USB 1.1. Note : The device would be a USB 2.0 Full Speed device (12Mb/s) as opposed to a USB 2.0 High Speed device (480Mb/s). DS245BL Version 1.6 (c) Future Technology Devices Intl.

It requires an external decoupling capacitor to be attached to the 3V3OUT regulator output pin. It also provides 3.3V power to the RSTOUT# pin. 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 not greater than 5mA 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 3.3 volt level slew RSTOUT# * 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. * 6MHz Oscillator The 6MHz Oscillator cell generates a 6MHz reference clock input to the x8 Clock multiplier from an external 6MHz crystal or ceramic resonator. * x8 Clock Multiplier The x8 Clock Multiplier takes the 6MHz input from the Oscillator cell and generates a 12MHz reference clock for the SIE, USB Protocol Engine and FIFO controller blocks.

DS245BL Version 1.6 (c) Future Technology Devices Intl. Ltd. 2005 Page 5 of 24 FT245BL USB FIFO ( USB - Parallel ) I.C. * 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 / unstuffing and CRC5 / CRC16 generation / checking on the USB data stream. enumeration is required. RSTOUT# will be low for approximately 5ms after VCC has risen above 3.5V AND the device oscillator is running AND RESET# is high. RESET# should be tied to VCC unless it is a requirement to reset the device from external logic or an external reset generator I.C. * * 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 Receive Buffer (128 bytes) Data sent from the USB Host to the FIFO via the USB data out endpoint is stored in the FIFO Receive Buffer and is removed from the buffer by reading the FIFO contents using RD#. * FIFO Transmit Buffer (384 bytes) Data written into the FIFO using WR# is stored in the FIFO Transmit Buffer. The Host removes Data from the FIFO Transmit Data by sending a USB request for data from the device data in endpoint. * FIFO Controller The FIFO Controller handles the transfer of data between the external FIFO interface pins and the FIFO Transmit and Receive buffers. * RESET Generator The Reset Generator Cell provides a reliable power-on reset to the device internal circuitry on power up. An additional RESET# input and RSTOUT# output are provided to allow other devices to reset the FT245BL, or the FT245BL to reset other devices respectively. During reset, RSTOUT# is driven low, otherwise it drives out at the 3.3V provided by the onboard regulator. RSTOUT# can be used to control the 1.5K pull-up on USBDP directly where delayed USB DS245BL Version 1.6 EEPROM Interface Though the FT245BL will work without the optional EEPROM, an external 93C46 (93C56 or 93C66) EEPROM can be used to customise the USB VID, PID, Serial Number, Product Description Strings and Power Descriptor value of the FT245BL for OEM applications. Other parameters controlled by the EEPROM include Remote Wake Up, Isochronous Transfer Mode, Soft Pull Down on Power-Off and USB 2.0 descriptor modes. The EEPROM should be a 16 bit wide configuration such as a MicroChip 93LC46B or equivalent capable of a 1Mb/s clock rate at VCC = 4.35V to 5.25V. The EEPROM is programmableon board over USB using a utility available from FTDI's web site ( http://www.ftdichip.com ). This allows a blank part to be soldered onto the PCB and programmed as part of the manufacturing and test process. If no EEPROM is connected (or the EEPROM is blank), the FT245BL will use its built-in default VID, PID Product Description and Power Descriptor Value. In this case, the device will not have a serial number as part of the USB descriptor. (c) Future Technology Devices Intl.

POWER CONTROL GROUP Pin# Signal Type Description 10 PWREN# OUT 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 P-Channel Logic Level MOSFET switch. Enable the Interface Pull-Down Option in EEPROM when using the PWREN# pin in this way. 11 SI / WU IN The Send Immediate / WakeUp signal combines two functions on a single pin. If USB is in suspend mode (PWREN# = 1) and remote wakeup is enabled in the EEPROM , strobing this pin low will cause the device to request a resume on the USB Bus. Normally, this can be used to wake up the Host PC. During normal operation (PWREN# = 0), if this pin is strobed low any data in the device TX buffer will be sent out over USB on the next Bulk-IN request from the drivers regardless of the pending packet size. This can be used to optimise USB transfer speed for some applications. Tie this pin to VCCIO if not used. MISCELLANEOUS SIGNAL GROUP Pin# Signal Type Description 4 RESET# IN Can be used by an external device to reset the FT245BL. If not required, tie to VCC. 5 RSTOUT# OUT Output of the internal Reset Generator. Stays high impedance for ~ 5ms after VCC > 3.5V and the internal clock starts up, then clamps its 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. 27 XTIN IN 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. 28 XTOUT OUT Output from 6MHz Crystal Oscillator Cell. XTOUT stops oscillating during USB suspend, so take care if using this signal to clock external logic. 31 TEST IN Puts device in I.C. test mode - must be tied to GND for normal operation.

Its prime purpose is to provide the internal 3.3V supply to the USB transceiver cell and the RSTOUT# pin. A small amount of current (<= 5mA) can be drawn from this pin to power external 3.3V logic if required. 3,26 VCC PWR +4.35 volt to +5.25 volt VCC to the device core, LDO and none-FIFO interface pins. 13 VCCIO PWR +3.0 volt to +5.25 volt VCC to the FIFO interface pins 10..12, 14..16 and 18..25. When interfacing with 3.3V external logic in a bus powered design connect VCCIO to a 3.3V supply generated from the USB bus. When interfacing with 3.3V external logic in a self powered design connect VCCIO to the 3.3V supply of the external logic.

A suitable part would be a ceramic resonator from Murata's CERALOCK range. (Murata Part Number CSTCR6M00G15), or equivalent. 3-Pin ceramic resonators have the load capacitors built into the resonator so no external loading capacitors are required. This makes for an economical configuration. The accuracy of this Murata ceramic resonator is +/- 0.1% and it is specifically designed for USB full speed applications. A 1 MOhm loading resistor across XTIN and XTOUT is recommended in order to guarantee this level of accuracy. Other ceramic resonators with a lesser degree of accuracy ( typically +/- 0.5% ) are technically outwith the USB specification, but it has been calculated that using such a device will work satisfactorily in practice with a FT245BL design. Figure 5 illustrates how to use the FT245BL with a 6MHz Crystal or 2-Pin Ceramic Resonator. In this case, these devices do not have in-built loading capacitors so these have to be added between XTIN, XTOUT and GND as shown. A value of 27pF is shown as the capacitor in the example - this will be good for many crystals and some resonators but do select the value based on the manufacturers recommendations wherever possible. If using a crystal, use a parallel cut type. If using a resonator, see the previous note on frequency accuracy. DS245BL Version 1.6 (c) Future Technology Devices Intl.

EECS (pin 32) is directly connected to the chip select (CS) pin of the EEPROM. EESK (pin 1) is directly connected to the clock (SK) pin of the EEPROM. EEDATA (pin 2) is directly connected to the Data In (Din) pin of the EEPROM. There is a potential condition whereby both the Data Output (Dout) of the EEPROM can drive out at the same time as the EEDATA pin of the FT245BL. To prevent potential data clash in this situation, the Dout of the EEPROM is connected to EEDATA of the FT245BL via a 2.2 K resistor. CS VCC Following a power-on reset or a USB reset, the FT245BL will 7 2 SK NC scan the EEPROM to find out a) if an EEPROM is attached 2k2 3 6 DIN NC to the Device and b) if the data in the device is valid. If both 4 5 of these are the case, then the FT245BL will use the data in DOUT GND the EEPROM, otherwise it will use its built-in default values. When a valid command is issued to the EEPROM from the VCC 10k FT245BL, the EEPROM will acknowledge the command by pulling its Dout pin low. In order to check for this condition, it is necessary to pull Dout high using a 10K resistor. If the command acknowledge doesn't happen then EEDATA will be pulled high by the 10K resistor during this part of the cycle and the device will detect an invalid command or no EEPROM present. There are two varieties of these EEPROM's on the market - one is configured as being 16 bits wide, the other is configured as being 8 bits wide. These are available from many sources such as Microchip, ST Micro, ISSI etc. The FT245BL requires EEPROM's with a 16-bit wide configuration such as the Microchip 93LC46B device. The EEPROM must be capable of reading data at a 1Mb clock rate at a supply voltage of 4.35V to 5.25V. Most available parts are 1 8 capable of this. Check the manufacturers data sheet to find out how to connect pins 6 and 7 of the EEPROM. Some devices specify these as no-connect, others use them for selecting 8 / 16 bit mode or for test functions. Some other parts have their pinout rotated by 90o so please select the required part and its options carefully. It is possible to "share" the EEPROM between the FT245BL and another external device such as an MCU. However, this can only be done when the FT245BL is in its reset condition as it tri-states its EEPROM interface at that time. A typical configuration would use four bits of an MCU IO Port. One bit would be used to hold the FT245BL reset (using RESET#) on power-up, the other three would connect to the EECS, EESK and EEDATA pins of the FT245BL in order to read / write data to the EEPROM at this time. Once the MCU has read / written the EEPROM, it would take RESET# high to allow the FT245BL to configure itself and enumerate over USB. DS245BL Version 1.6 (c) Future Technology Devices Intl.

A USB Bus Powered device gets its power from the USB bus. Basic rules for USB Bus power devices are as follows - a) On plug-in, the device must draw no more than 100mA b) On USB Suspend the device must draw no more than 500uA. c) A Bus Powered High Power Device (one that draws more than 100mA) should use the PWREN# pin to keep the current below 100mA on plug-in and 500uA on USB suspend. d) A device that consumes more than 100mA can not be plugged into a USB Bus Powered Hub e) No device can draw more that 500mA from the USB Bus. The power descriptor in the 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 # MI0805K400R-00 also available as DigiKey Part # 240-1035-1.

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 - a) A Self-Powered device should not force current down the USB bus when the USB Host or Hub Controller is powered down. b) A Self Powered Device can take as much current as it likes during normal operation and USB suspend as it has its own POWER SUPPLY. c) A Self Powered Device can be used with any USB Host and both Bus and Self Powered USB Hubs The USB power descriptor option in the EEPROM should be programmed to a value of zero (self powered). To meet requirement a) the 1.5K pull-up resistor on USBDP is connected to RSTOUT# as per the bus-power circuit. However, the USB Bus Power is used to control the RESET# Pin of the FT245BL device. When the USB Host or Hub is powered up RSTOUT# will pull the 1.5K resistor on USB DP 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, RSTOUT# will also be low, so no current will be forced down USBDP via the 1.5K 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. Note : When the FT245BL is in reset, the FIFO interface pins all go tri-state. These pins have internal 200K pull-up resistors to VCCIO so they will gently pull high unless driven by some external logic. DS245BL Version 1.6 (c) Future Technology Devices Intl. Ltd. 2005 Page 18 of 24 FT245BL USB FIFO ( USB - Parallel ) I.C. Figure 9 Bus Powered Circuit with 3.3V logic drive / supply voltage 3.3v LDO Regulator In 3.3v Power to External Logic Out Gnd 0.1uF USB "B" Connector Ferrite Bead 1 470R VCC 27R 2 3 3 V C C 27R 4 10nF 26 6 33nF 13 V C C 3v3OUT V C C I O 30 0.1uF A V C C FT245BM 8 7 USB DM USB DP Figure 9 shows how to configure the FT245BL to interface with a 3.3V logic device. In this example, a discrete 3.3V regulator is used to supply the 3.3V logic from the USB supply. VCCIO is connected to the output of the 3.3V regulator, which in turn will cause the FIFO interface IO pins to drive out at 3.3V level. For USB bus powered circuits some considerations have to be taken into account when selecting the regulator - a) The regulator must be capable of sustaining its output voltage with an input voltage of 4.35 volts. A Low Drop Out (LDO) regulator must be selected. b) The quiescent current of the regulator must be low in order to meet the USB suspend total current requirement of <= 500uA during USB suspend. An example of a regulator family that meets these requirements is the MicroChip (Telcom) TC55 Series. These devices can supply up to 250mA current and have a quiescent current of under 1uA. In some cases, where only a small amount of current is required (< 5mA) , it may be possible to use the in-built regulator of the FT245BL to supply the 3.3V without any other components being required. In this case, connect VCCIO to the 3V3OUT pin of the FT245BL. Note : It should be emphasised that the 3.3V supply for VCCIO in a bus powered design with a 3.3V logic interface should come from an LDO which is supplied by USB bus, or from the 3V3OUT pin of the FT245BL, and not from any other source.

In this case VCCIO is supplied by an external 3.3V supply in order to make the device IO pins drive out at 3.3V logic level, thus allowing it to be connected to a 3.3V MCU or other external logic. A USB self powered design uses its own power supplies, and does not draw any of its power from the USB bus. In such cases, no special care need be taken to meet the USB suspend current (0.5 mA) as the device does not get its power from the USB port. As with bus powered 3.3V interface designs, in some cases, where only a small amount of current is required (<5mA), it may be possible to use the in-built regulator of the FT245BL to supply the 3.3V without any other components being required. In this case, connect VCCIO to the 3v3OUT pin of the FT245BL. Note that if SI/WU is not being used it should be pulled up to VCCIO. DS245BL Version 1.6 (c) Future Technology Devices Intl.

Some external logic can power itself down into a low current state by monitoring the PWREN# pin. For external logic that cannot power itself down in that way, the FT245BL provides a simple but effective way of turning off power to external circuitry during USB suspend. Figure 11 shows how to use a discrete P-Channel Logic Level MOSFET to control the power to external logic circuits. A suitable device could be a Fairchild NDT456P, or International Rectifier IRLML6402, or equivalent. It is recommended that a "soft start" circuit consisting of a 1K series resistor and a 0.1 uF 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 FT245BL, or the USB host / hub controller. The values used here allow attached circuitry to power up with a slew rate of ~12.5 V per millisecond, in other words the output voltage will transition from GND to 5 V 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) MIC2025-2BL or equivalent. Please note the following points in connection with power controlled designs - a) The logic to be controlled must have its own reset circuitry so that it will automatically reset itself when power is reapplied on coming out of suspend. b) Set the Pull-down on Suspend option in the FT245BL's EEPROM. c) For USB high-power bus powered device (one that consumes greater than 100 mA, and up to 500 mA of current from the USB bus), the power consumption of the device should be set in the max power field in the EEPROM. A high-power bus powered device must use this descriptor in the EEPROM to inform the system of its power requirements. d) For 3.3V power controlled circuits VCCIO must not be powered down with the external circuitry (PWREN# 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 if appropriate power VCCIO from the 3v3OUT pin of the FT245BL.

This examples uses two IO Ports of the MCU, one port (8 bits) to transfer data and the other port (4 / 5 bits) to monitor the TXE# and RXF# status bits and generate the RD# and WR strobes to the FT245BL as required. Optionally, SI / WU can be connected to another IO pin if this function is required. If the SI / WU function is not required, tie this pin of the FT245BL to VCCIO. If the MCU is handling power management functions, then PWREN# should also be connected to an IO pin of the MCU. The 8 data bits of Port 1 can be shared with other peripherals when the MCU is not accessing the FT245BL. DS245BL Version 1.6 (c) Future Technology Devices Intl.
