CDC: CDC device referred in this document is a UART device that follows USB Standard Communication Device
Class Specification. And, this device binds to a Virtual COM port driver for the supported operating system.
Vendor: Vendor operational mode device doesn’t follow any USB standard class specification. They are custom or
vendor USB class devices that follow custom data transfer protocol. USB to (SPI or I2C or JTAG) Bridge is always
configured as Vendor Device. UART can also be a vendor device and in this mode, UART device doesn’t bind to
Virtual COM port driver. Instead, the UART device will bind to cypress generic USB driver or vendor mode driver in
the supported Operating System.
PHDC: Device that follow “Personal Healthcare Device Class Specification is referred as PHDC devices. USB
Serial Bridge supports PHDC USB to UART and PHDC USB to SPI Bridge. PHDC device binds to generic USB
device driver otherwise called as vendor mode driver.

2.3.2.5 Configure SCB Activity Notification
The USB-Serial devices support three types of notification
1. Drive a GPIO on USB transmit
2. Drive a GPIO on USB receive
3. Drive a GPIO on both USB transmit and receive (SCB: TX & RX LED)
The device can simultaneously support all three notifications. Therefore, for a particular SCB, the device can be
configured for more than one notification.
Figure 2-21 shows the SCB notification configuration editor. To enable a notification, select a GPIO from the respective
GPIO drop-down list. To disable a notification, select ‘None’ from the drop-down list.
Figure 2-21: Notify SCB Activity Configuration Editor
The device supports individual notification for each of the SCBs in the device. Notification can be configured for either
one of the SCBs or both the SCBs or none.
2.3.3 Device GPIOs
USB-Serial devices have a pool of configurable GPIOs. The number of GPIOs varies from one device part to another.
Refer to the device datasheet to get the available GPIO count for your device.
Each SCB uses GPIOs from this GPIO pool. The number of required GPIOs varies from one SCB configuration to
another. Refer to the device datasheet for more information on what GPIOs are used for your SCB configuration.
Cypress USB-Serial Configuration Utility User Guide, Doc. No. 001-86781 Rev. *B
25
Cypress USB-Serial Configuration Utility
After the required GPIOs are consumed for the SCB configuration, the device may still be left with some unused / free
GPIOs in the device GPIO pool. These free GPIOs can be used for other features supported by the device.
Note: The device datasheet maps the GPIO numbers to the corresponding device physical pin.

Capacitance sensing systems can be used in many applications in place of conventional buttons, switches, and other
controls, even in applications that are exposed to rain or water. Such applications include automotive, outdoor
equipment, ATMs, public access systems, portable devices such as cell phones and PDAs, and kitchen and bathroom
applications.
To understand the basics of capacitive touch sensing and to learn the key design considerations and layout best
practices, read the document, Getting Started with CapSense
USB-Serial (Single Channel) and USB-Serial (Dual Channel) devices support up to eight CapSense buttons depending
on the free GPIOs. The device supports only single-button detection. The CapSense output is indicated over binary
®
coded output GPIO lines. LED based indication (ON/OFF) is also provided as output. The CapSense /BCD/GPIO tab

2.3.4.1.1.2 Debounce
The Debounce value defines the number of scan cycles that a button needs to be in pressed state for the device to
detect and report the button press status. For example, if the debounce value is set to two, the device reports a button
press status only when it detects the button press for two continuous scan cycles.
Debounce ensures that a high-frequency, high-amplitude noise does not cause false detection of a pressed button.
The debounce value can be set to any value between 1 and 5. By default, the debounce value is set to 1.
2.3.4.1.1.3 Scan Rate
The scan rate is the delay (in ms) between two button scans. For example, if the device has three CapSense buttons
and the scan rate is set to 2 ms, each button will be scanned once in every 6 ms.
Scan rate can be set to any value between 1 ms and 100 ms. By default, the scan rate is set to 1 ms.
2.3.4.1.1.4 Water Shield
The device can be configured to suppress the influence of water on the CapSense system. Select the GPIO to be used
as WaterShield I/O from the drop-down list. This GPIO will be used to compensate for the influence of water drops on
the sensor at the hardware level.

2.3.4.1.2 CapSense Validation
The utility allows validating the behavior of the configured CapSense buttons by plotting a graph of the CapSense
parameters in real-time. Follow these steps to begin the CapSense validation:
1. Configure the CapSense from the ‘CapSense Configuration Editor’ as discussed in section 2.3.4.1.1
2. Program the configuration (see section 2.3.5 )
3. Reset the device for the programmed configuration to take effect
®
4. Connect to the device again and navigate to the CapSense /BCD/GPIO’ sub-tab under the ‘Device’ tab
5. Click ‘Launch’ to launch the ‘CapSense Validation’ window
The utility monitors and plots the following CapSense parameters:






Raw Count: Button capacitance is converted into a count value by the CapSense algorithm. The
unprocessed count value is referred to as raw count. Processing of the raw count results in ON/OFF states for
the button
Baseline: The baseline is an estimate of the average sensor count level when the sensor is in the OFF state.
The baseline provides a reference level for the ON/OFF comparison.
Difference Count: Subtracting the baseline level from the raw count produces the difference count that is
used in the ON/OFF decision process. The actual baseline is dynamically adjusted by the user module to
compensate for environmental changes through a process called baseline update.
Finger Threshold: Threshold value used by the CapSense algorithm to identify button status changes. If the
difference count us increasing and exceeds the level of finger threshold, then the button state changes from
OFF to ON. If the difference count is decreasing and drops below the level of finger threshold, then the button
state changes from ON to OFF
Noise Threshold: If the difference count is below the noise threshold, then the baseline is updated
Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR): Ratio of difference count to noise threshold
The CapSense validation window supports two modes of validation

2.3.4.2 Battery Charging Detect (BCD)
The device supports battery charger detection based on the Battery Charging Specification, version 1.2. The device
does not support ID pin-based (ACA) detection. The detection output is indicated to the external processor / PMIC
through the configured GPIO lines (BCD0 and BCD1). The external processor is expected to handle GPIO signaling
for configuring the power management circuitry to initiate battery charging. The charger detection is useful only when
the device functions in the self-power mode where there is a battery available for the device to charge. While using
BCD, the VBUS must be routed to BUS_DETECT GPIO line through resistor dividers so that the voltage on the line
never exceeds 5 V. This shall be used for detecting connect / disconnect.
To launch the BCD configuration editor, click on the BCD ‘Configure’ button shown in Figure 2-30.
Figure 2-30: Open BCD Configuration
The editor (shown in Figure 2-31) allows selection of GPIOs for the BCD pins and sets the BCD pin drive state for
each of the different battery detection modes.

2.3.4.2.3 Charging Mode Indication
The utility allows configuration of the BCD0 and BCD1 line drive mode to indicate the charging state. The BCD0 and
BCD1 drive state for the charging states may vary from one PMIC to another. The utility allows the flexibility to
configure the BCD feature to match the PMIC used in the system.
The utility allows configuration of the following charging states:




Unconfigured SDP state (up to 100 mA)
Configured SDP state (up to 500 mA or whatever is set in the Current Draw field)
DCP / CDP charging (up to 1.5 A)
Not charging (USB bus suspended)
Cypress USB-Serial Configuration Utility User Guide, Doc. No. 001-86781 Rev. *B
34
Cypress USB-Serial Configuration Utility
These four states can be represented by the BCD0 and BCD1 lines using the BCD drive mode options. If the PMIC
supports only two current limits (500 mA and 1.5 A), then only the BCD0 line needs to be connected to the PMIC. The
BCD1 line shall be ignored and shall not be connected to the PMIC. The polarity of BCD0 and BCD1 can be
configured to match the PMIC settings.
2.3.4.3 GPIO Drive Modes

program these devices in batch mode. The Batch Programmer (shown in Figure 2-34) allows programming one or
more devices connected to the machine with the click of a button.
Figure 2-34: Batch Programmer
Follow these steps to program the devices in the batch mode:
1. The Batch Programmer uses the saved configuration file. If the configuration settings are not saved yet, follow
the steps mentioned in section 2.3.6 .
2. After a saved configuration file is available, select File > Batch Program to launch the Batch Programmer.
3. In the Batch Programmer dialog, select the configuration file to be used for programming by clicking on the
ellipses (…) button.
4. On clicking the ellipses button, the utility opens the ‘Open Configuration’ dialog (similar to the one described in
section 2.3.7.2). Select the configuration from the disk and click ‘Open’.
5. Now, click Load to load the configuration file.
6. In case the loaded configuration file has a serial number and this serial number presence can lead to the
possibility of having multiple devices programmed with the same serial number. Default Windows Operating
System doesn’t accept multiple USB devices with same serial number in the same PC. To avoid this scenario,
a warning message Box (Figure 2-35a) is popped up to alert the user about a potential risk of programming
same serial number to multiple devices. User still can use the batch programmer to program multiple devices
with same serial number, provided the user understands that this isn’t a usage scenario issue.

3.1 Driver Binding for USB-Serial Devices with Custom VID/PID
The Cypress-provided drivers, out-of-the-box, can bind to USB-Serial devices using the Cypress-provided VID/PID
captured in Table 2-2. The customer can also choose to use a custom VID/PID for their USB-Serial device. In this
case, customers can decide to either use the Cypress driver or the custom driver for their devices.
The following sections discuss how to use Cypress drivers for USB-Serial devices with a custom VID/PID. Using
custom drivers for USB-Serial devices is outside the scope of this document.
3.1.1 Driver INF File Changes
The driver INF file contains the entries for all the devices supported by the driver. The operating system can bind a
driver to a device only if the driver INF file contains information about the device. Therefore, to use the Cypress driver
with a custom VID/PID, the driver INF file must be modified to include references to the new VID/PID.
Note:
The Microsoft WHQL certification becomes void when INF is modified. Therefore, the customer must make sure to get
the driver WHQL tested and certified from Microsoft for the new VID/PID.
3.1.1.1 Modifying Cypress Generic USB 3.0 Driver INF
The Cypress generic USB 3.0 driver (cysub3.sys) is packaged along the USB-Serial SDK and can be located on the
disk at <install_path>/driver/cyusb3/bin, where <install_path> is the location where the SDK is
installed.
Figure 3-1 shows the driver directory structure under the bin directory.

Notepad.
2. Scroll down in the text editor until the section [Device.NT] is visible
3. The [Device.NT] section contains entries for all the devices supported by the driver. Add an entry for the new
device in the following format:
%VID_XXXX&PID_YYYY&MI_ZZ.DeviceDesc%=CyUsb3, USB\ VID_XXXX&PID_YYYY&MI_ZZ
Where,
XXXX – Device Vendor ID (VID) in hexadecimal
YYYY – Device Product ID (PID) in hexadecimal
ZZ – Master Interface Number in hexadecimal
4. Copy the entry created in step 3 and paste it under the sections [Device.NTx86] and [Device.NTamd64]
5. Scroll down in the text editor until the [String] section is visible
6. Under the [String] section add an entry in the following format:
VID_XXXX&PID_YYYY&MI_ZZ.DeviceDesc=”<Device Friendly Name>”
Where,
XXXX – Device Vendor ID (VID) in hexadecimal
YYYY – Device Product ID (PID) in hexadecimal
ZZ – Master Interface Number in hexadecimal (refer to section 3.1.2 )
<Device Friendly Name> -- String to be used by the OS for the device in the Device Manager (as
