Functional Problems of FT2232D
3.1 Revision A
3.1.1 BitBang Mode variable Pulse Width
Introduction:
BitBang is a mode the device may be put into to allow free running data to be clocked in/out of the
device without any control bits.
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
