Problem: The output may be clocked out at different speeds to allow for different pulse widths. However this clocking stage is not synchronized with the incoming data and can result in the pulse widths varying unexpectedly on the output. Workaround: Set the clock divisor to 1 (baud rate = 3,000,000) and pad the data field with extra 1’s or 0’s to achieve the required pulse width for each bit. Package specific: The effected packages are listed in Table 3 Package Applicable (Yes/No) FT2232D Y Table 3 Copyright © 2010 Future Technology Devices International Limited 4 Document Reference No.: FT_000273 TN_124 FT2232D Errata Technical Note Version 1.0 Clearance No.: FTDI# 186 4 Electrical and Timing specification deviations of FT2232D None at this time.
