1 Introduction
The FT4232H-56Q Mini Module is a USB-serial/FIFO development module in the FTDI product range which
utilizes the FT4232H-56Q USB Hi-Speed four-port bridge chip which handles all the USB signalling and
protocols. It is ideal for development purposes to quickly prove the functionality of adding USB to a
target design. The FT4232H datasheet, DS_FT4232H, is available at http://www.ftdichip.com.
Figure 1.1 FT4232H-56Q Mini Module
The FT4232H-56Q on the Mini Module is FTDI’s 5th generation of USB devices. The FT4232H is a USB 2.0
High Speed (480Mb/s) to UART/MPSSE IC. The device features four interfaces that can be independently
configured for asynchronous or synchronous serial interfaces. Two of these have an option to
independently configure an MPSSE engine. This allows the FT4232H to operate as two UART/Bit-Bang
ports plus two MPSSE engines used to emulate JTAG, SPI, I2C, Bit-bang or other synchronous serial
modes. All components used, including the FT4232H-56Q are Pb-free (RoHS compliant).
The FT4232H-56Q Mini Module connects the signals of the FT4232H-56Q IC to two 26-pin dual-row
headers which allow easy connection to PCB header sockets and ribbon cables.
The
FT4232H-56Q
Mini
Module
requires
USB
device
drivers,
available
free
from
http://www.ftdichip.com, which are used to make the FT4232H-56Q on the Mini Module appear as a
four virtual COM ports (VCP). This then allows the user to communicate with the USB interface via a
standard PC serial emulation port (TTY). Another FTDI USB driver, the D2XX driver, can also be used with
application software to directly access the FT4232H on the Mini Module through a DLL. This is illustrated
in

D oc ument N o.: FT _001273 C learance N o.: FT D I#491
USB Bus-powered:
1) JP1 is connected VBUS to VCC (CN3, pin 1 to CN3, pin 3). This connection takes the power
from the USB bus (VBUS) and connects it to the voltage regulator input on the FT4232H-56Q Mini
Module. The voltage regulator, in turn, provides V3V3, VPLL and VUSB power inputs to the
FT4232H-56Q chip.
2) JP2 is connected V3V3 to VIO (CN2, pins 1, 3 & 5 to CN2, pins 11 and CN3, pins 12 &
22). This connection provides the correct 3.3VDC operating voltage for VCCIO on the FT4232H56Q chip.
USB Self-Powered:
1) Remove the JP1 and JP2 jumper.
2) Leave VBUS (CN3, pin 1) unconnected.
3) Connect an external 5.0VDC power supply to VCC (5.0VDC to CN3, pin 3).
This
connection takes power from an external power supply and connects it to the voltage regulator
input on the FT4232H-56Q Mini Module. See the FT4232H data sheet for allowable VCC input
voltage ranges.
4) Connect V3V3 to VIO (CN2, pins 1, 3 & 5 to CN2, pins 11 and CN3, pins 12 & 22). This
connection provides the correct 3.3VDC operating voltage for VCCIO on the FT4232H-56Q chip.
5) Use FT_Prog to change the USB power descriptor to “Self-Powered”. This setting
indicates to the host system that the USB Host port does not need to supply power to the device.
FT_Prog is a utility provided by FTDI to program various features of the FT-series USB client ICs.
In order to access settings for the FT4232H-56Q, FT_Prog is required. FT_PROG is available via
the Utilities section of the FTDI web site.
