1. Introduction
1.1 Features

The USB2.0 Hi-Speed to MPSSE SPI Module,
VA800A-SPI, is a small electronic circuit board,
utilising the FTDI FT232H.
The 10 pin connector on the module fits directly
to the FTDI VM800B and VM800C graphic
display modules. This allows direct control of the
EVE FT800 devices with an SPI interface from a
USB host.

USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mbits/Second)
and Full Speed (12Mbits/Second)
compatible

Entire USB protocol handled on the chip
– No USB-specific firmware
programming required

USB Type B micro connector

USB bus powered
All USB signalling and protocols are handled on
the module.

Synchronous Serial (MPSSE) data rates
of up to 30Mbps on SPI
For full details of the FT232H IC, consult the
FT232H datasheet, DS_FT232H.

1kByte receive and transmit buffers for
high data throughput

3.3V Level IO

Power indicator LED

SPI SS# active indicator LED

Adjustable receive buffer timeout

Support for USB suspend and resume

Low operating and USB suspend current

Low USB bandwidth consumption

UHCI / OHCI / EHCI host controller
compatible

-40°C to +85°C operating temperature
range

FTDI’sFTDI Chip’s royalty-free D2XX
drivers eliminate the requirement for
USB driver development in most cases
Use of FTDI devices in life support and/or safety applications is entirely at the user’s risk, and the user
agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless FTDI from any and all damages, claims, suits or expense
resulting from such use.

Description
The USB2.0 Hi-Speed to MPSSE SPI Module is a small electronic circuit board, utilising the FT232H.
This device handles all the USB signalling and protocols. The module provides a fast, simple way to
connect devices with 3.3 Volt digital interface to USB. For full details of the IC, consult the FT232H
datasheet, DS_FT232H.
The integrated FT232H device incorporates a command processor called the Multi-Protocol Synchronous
Serial Engine (MPSSE). The purpose of the MPSSE command processor is to communicate with devices
which use synchronous protocols (such as JTAG, SPI or I2C) in an efficient manner. Full details are
available in the MPSSE application note - AN_108.
The module is terminated by ten female pin headers which can be interfaced to a male header. Pin
signals are compliant with CMOS logic at 3.3 volts.
The FT232H is a single channel USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mb/s) to UART/FIFO IC. It can be configured in a
variety of industry standard serial or parallel interfaces at up to 30Mbps, such as MPSSE - JTAG, SPI, I2C.
The VA800A-SPI MPSSE module is configured for SPI only. The 10 pin connector fits to the VM800B and
VM800C graphic display modules directly.
The module is powered from a USB host port and is USB2.0 Hi-Speed compatible.
The VA800A-SPI MPSSE module requires USB device drivers, available free from
http://www.ftdichip.com. The D2XX driver is used with application software to directly access the FT232H
in the module though a DLL. This is illustrated in the Figure 2-1
The VA800A-SPI MPSSE module uses the FTDI’s FT232H USB to serial IC device.

Appendix A - Module EEPROM Configuration
Each VA800A-SPI MPSSE module is controlled by the FTDI FT232H IC. This FT232H device contains an
EEPROM which contains the USB configuration descriptors for that device. When the module is plugged
into a PC or a USB reset is performed, the PC will read these descriptors. The default values stored into
the internal EEPROM are defined in the following table
