Introduction
The UM245R is a development module which uses FTDI‟s FT245RL, the latest device to be added to FTDI‟s
range of USB to parallel 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 UM245R is supplied on a PCB which is designed to plug into a
standard 15.0mm (0.6”) wide 24 pin DIP socket. All components used, including the FT245RL are Pb-free
(RoHS compliant).

FT245RL Features and Enhancement
3.1 Key Features
This section summarises the key features and enhancements of the FT245R IC device which is used
in the UM245R Module. For further details, consult the FT245R datasheet, which is available from
the FTDI website.
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. It is important to note that
VCC must be between 4.0 and 5.25V. 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.
Pre-programmed EEPROM – The FT245R is supplied with its internal EEPROM pre-programmed
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 termination resistors on the USBDP and USBDM signals, 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.
Fewer 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.
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 is
described more fully in a application note AN232R-01, Bit Bang Modes for the FT232R and FT245R.
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. 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. The feature was previously seen in FTDI‟s FT2232D device. This
option is described more fully in a application note AN232R-01, Bit Bang Modes for the FT232R and
FT245R.
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 4.0V - 5V. Bus powered designs would still take
their supply from the 5V on the USB bus. Self-powered designs must provide between 4.0V and
5.25V to VCC.
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
ICs.

5V / 3.3V / 2.8V / 1.8V Logic Interface – The FT245R provides true CMOS Drive Outputs and
TTL level Inputs.
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. With
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 (2.5mA with remote wake
up enabled).
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 FIFO handshake output 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 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™ - unique serial 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. The FTDIChip-ID is
different from the USB Serial Number as defined in the USB specification.
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 FT245R 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.

Module Configurations
7.1 BUS Powered Configuration
Figure 7.1 Bus Powered Configuration
Figure 7.1 illustrates the UM245R in a typical USB bus powered design configuration. This can easily be
done by fitting the jumper link on J2, as shown above. The UM245R is supplied in this configuration by
default. 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 (2.5mA if remote wake-up is
enabled).
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/2.5mA on USB suspend.
iv) A device that consumes more than 100mA cannot be plugged into a USB Bus Powered Hub.
v) No device can draw more that 500mA from the USB Bus.
Interfacing the UM245R module to a microcontroller (MCU), or other logic for a bus powered design
would be done in exactly the same way as for a self powered design (see Section 7.2), except that the
MCU would take its power supply from the USB bus (either the 5V on the USB pin, or the 3.3V on the 3V3
pin).

7.2 Self Powered Configuration
Figure 7.2 Self-Powered Configuration
Figure 7.2 illustrates the UM245R in a typical USB self powered configuration. In this case the link on
jumper J2 is removed, and an external supply is connected to the module VCC pins. Figure 7.2 illustrate
a design which has a 4.0V - 5V supply.
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 must 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. To do this pin 14 (USB) is connected to PU2 and PU1 is connected to
RST#. Failure to do this may cause some USB host or hub controllers to power up erratically.
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.
Figure 7.2 also illustrates interfacing the UM245R and a Microcontroller (MCU) FIFO interface. This
example uses two MCU 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 PWE# 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.

7.3 USB Bus Powered with Power Switching Confiduration
Figure 7.3 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 (2.5mA with remote wake-up enabled) 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 7.3 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 PWE# 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 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 Bus Powered with 3.3V Logic Drive / IO Supply Voltage
Figure 7.4 USB Bus Powered 3.3V Logic Drive
Figure 7.4 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 FT245R‟s VCCIO pin is either supplied with 5V from the USB bus (connect
together pins 2 and 3 on J1), or with 3.3V from the FT245R‟s 3V3OUT pin (connect together pins 1 and 2
on J1 as shown). The supply to UM245R‟s 3V3 pin can also be used to supply up to 50mA to 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 (2.5mA with remote wake-up enabled). 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 LDO which is supplied by the 5V on the USB
bus to supply 2.8V - 1.8V to the VIO pin and to the external logic. VCC would be supplied with the 5V
from the USB bus. With VIO 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 as low as
4.35V. A Low Drop Out (LDO) 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/2.5mA during USB suspend.
An example of a regulator family that meets these requirements is the MicroChip MCP17xx Series of
devices (www.microchip.com). These devices can supply up to 250mA current and have a quiescent
current of under 1μA.
