FT232H Single Channel Hi-
Speed USB to Multipurpose
UART/FIFO IC
The FT232H is a single channel USB 2.0 Hi-
Option for transmit and receive LED drive
signals.
Bit-bang Mode interface option with RD# and
WR# strobes
Highly integrated design includes 5V to
3.3/+1.8V LDO regulator for VCORE, integrated
POR function
Asynchronous serial UART interface option with
full hardware handshaking and modem
interface signals.
Speed (480Mb/s) to UART/FIFO IC. It has the
capability of being configured in a variety of
industry standard serial or parallel interfaces.
The FT232H has the following advanced
features:
Single channel USB to serial / parallel ports
with a variety of configurations.
Entire USB protocol handled on the chip. No
USB specific firmware programming required.
USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mbits/Second) and Full
Speed (12Mbits/Second) compatible.
Fully assisted hardware or X-On / X-Off
software handshaking.
UART Interface supports 7/8 bit data, 1/2 stop
bits, and Odd/Even/Mark/Space/No Parity.
Auto transmit enable control for RS485 serial
applications using the TXDEN pin.
Operational mode configuration and USB
Description strings configurable in external
EEPROM over the USB interface.
Multi-Protocol
Synchronous
Serial
Engine
(MPSSE) to simplify synchronous serial protocol
(USB to JTAG, I2C, SPI (MASTER) or bit-bang)
design.
UART transfer data rate up to 12Mbaud.
(RS232 Data Rate limited by external level
shifter).
Configurable I/O drives strength (4, 8, 12 or
16mA) and slew rate.
USB to asynchronous 245 FIFO mode for
transfer data rate up to 8 Mbyte/Sec.
USB to synchronous 245 parallel FIFO mode for
transfers upto 40 Mbytes/Sec
Low operating and USB suspend current.
Supports self powered, bus powered and high-
power bus powered USB configurations.
UHCI/OHCI/EHCI host controller compatible.
USB Bulk data transfer mode (512 byte packets
in Hi-Speed mode).
+1.8V (chip core) and +3.3V I/O interfacing
(+5V Tolerant).
Extended -40°C to 85°C industrial operating
temperature range.
Supports a proprietary half duplex FT1248
interface with
a
configurable width, bi-
directional data bus (1, 2, 4 or 8 bits wide).
CPU-style FIFO interface mode simplifies CPU
interface design.
Fast serial interface option.
