The cable provides a fast, simple way to connect devices with 3.3 Volt digital interfaces to USB. For full details of the IC, consult the FT232H datasheet, this is available from 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 cable is terminated by ten individual wires with single pole connectors which can be interfaced to a male header. Cable 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, such as MPSSE - JTAG, SPI, I2C. The C232HM MPSSE cable is easily configured into each interface e.g. JTAG, SPI, I2C via the application software. The cable is powered from a USB host port and is USB 2.0 Hi-Speed compatible. The cable is 0.5m long and supports a data transfer up to 30Mbps in MPSSE mode. The C232HM MPSSE cable 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 cable though a DLL. This is illustrated in the Figure 1-1 The C232HM MPSSE cable uses the FTDI’s FT232H USB to serial IC device.

Maximum C232HM-EDHSL-0 output of 450mA @ 5.0VDC on VCC 10 core, UL2464 24 AWG, Single pole, diam=6.5mm receptacle x 10 (see Note 2) Table 1.1 C232HM MPSSE Cable Descriptions and Part Numbers Note 1: The VCC power output signal (RED wire) is 3.3V. The source of 3.3V is the onboard regulator output, which is switched onto the power output signal. Note 2: The VCC power output signal (RED wire) is 5.0V. The source of 5.0V is the USB VBUS input, which is switched onto the power output signal. FTDI supports customised end connector designs. For more information, please contact your local FTDI sales office (see end of datasheet for contact details). 1.2 Certifications The FTDI C232HM MPSSE cables are fully RoHS compliant.
