FT260 HID-CLASS USB TO UART/I2C BRIDGE IC
Version 1.1
Document No.: FT_001272

Clearance No.: FTDI#484
Function Description
The FT260 is a USB device which supports I²C and UART communication through standard USB HID class
interfaces. The USB HID class is natively supported by most operating systems. A custom driver is not
required to be installed for the FT260.
4.1 Key Features
Highly Functional Integration. FT260 is highly integrated, with a USB2.0 compliant full-speed
transceiver, oscillator PLL as the source of the operating clock, LDO regulator for full chip operating
power source, eFUSE for basic customization and automatic scanning mechanism of EEPROM for
advanced customization. It also includes Power-On-Reset (POR) and VBUS detection input with 5Vtolerance. These embedded functions simplify external circuit design and reduce external component
count.
HID class USB to I2C/UART Bridge. FT260 provides the bridge function between standard a USB HID
class driver and an I2C slave device and/or UART device. The standard USB HID class driver is natively
supported by most operating systems meaning the FT260, does not need a customized driver to be
installed. The USB HID class exchanges data between a host and a device by HID reports, which are the
actual data blobs follow HID format, and the application developers have to communicate with the FT260
via the HID reports. Please refer to Application Notes for detail formats. In order to help the developers,
FTDI also provides a Windows DLL with easy-to-use API for FT260 application development.
There are 2 USB interfaces corresponding to HID class in the FT260. One is for the I2C bus and the other
is for the UART bus. These two interfaces can exist concurrently and can be selected independently
according to the application. For each interface, there exists one Interrupt IN pipe and Interrupt OUT pipe
with a max packet size equal to 64 bytes. With the fastest polling frequency, one time in 1 ms, the
Interrupt pipes can operate with maximum data throughput up to 64kB/sec. Users can also utilize the
HID class commands through the Control pipe to configure the setting and to control the functions in the
FT260. Digital function pins can be programmed as GPIO and can be controlled by HID class commands
through Endpoint 0.
The I2C bus can run at common I2C bus speeds, standard mode (SM), fast mode (FM), Fast mode plus
(FM+), and High Speed mode (HS). A higher bit rate on the I2C bus is also configurable up to 3Mbit/s.
Clock stretching is supported to conform to v2.1 and v3.0 of the I2C specification. The default
configuration is for standard mode speed (SM). All the configurable settings can be changed over USB
before the I2C bus starts any transferring.
The robust FTDI UART bus is embedded in the FT260. The baud rate can be supported from 1200 baud to
12M baud. RTSN/CTSN, DSRN/DTRN and XON/XOFF handshaking options are also supported and can be
enabled by associated APIs defined in the DLL for the FT260. Data can be received from the RX pin and
delivered to the HID driver via the Interrupt IN pipe. Data can also be delivered from the USB host
through the Interrupt OUT pipe and transmitted on to the TX pin.
An remote wake up function is also supported. If the operating system supports remote wake up and
allows external hardware to wake it, the FT260 can be resumed by the pin DIO8 which is set by default
as WAKEUP triggering a resume signal on USB bus to wake up USB host. DIO11 can also be a remote
wake up source when the pin function is set as RI and the parameter, RI as Wake-Up; defined in external
EEPROM is enabled.
HID over I2C Bridge Human Interface Device (HID) is one of the most popular USB devices. It was a
protocol developed to simplify the process of connecting accessories such as mouse, keyboard and
touchpad to the PC. HID was originally developed to run over USB or Bluetooth. For Windows 8, Microsoft
created a new device type called “HID over I2C”, which allows the device to communicate HID protocol
over an Inter-Integrated Circuit (I²C) bus. The new “HID over I2C” devices are only supported natively by
Microsoft Windows 8 or above.

FT260 HID-CLASS USB TO UART/I2C BRIDGE IC
Version 1.1
Document No.: FT_001272
Clearance No.: FTDI#484
The FT260 provides a bridge which connects a “HID-over-I²C” device via an I²C bus, helps to translate
USB HID requests from a PC to the device, and makes it work as a normal USB HID class device. With
the FT260, an I2C slave function compliant to HID-over-I2C protocol can directly communicate to USB
HID class driver through the USB connection.
Configurable Settings for Customization. An electrical poly-fuse (eFUSE) is embedded in the FT260.
This embedded eFUSE provides the configurable settings of the Vendor Specific Parameters for basic
customization. These Vendor Specific Parameters are the settings about USB, I/O and HID-over-I2C.
Users can utilize this embedded eFUSE to achieve basic customization.
For advanced settings, the FT260 also reserves the programming interface of an external EEPROM via an
I2C interface to record the Vendor Specific Parameters. The FT260 will automatically scan for the
presence of an EEPROM. (See Supported EEPROM Spec for suitable devices). When the FT260 is powered
up, these Vendor Specific Parameters will be automatically loaded and the FT260 will operate with the
parameter setting. When both eFUSE and EEPROM exist at the same time, the Vendor Specific
Parameters in the EEPROM will dominate. Both eFUSE and EEPROM can be programmed using the FTDI
utility software called FT_PROG, which can be downloaded from the FTDI Utilities page on the FTDI
website
(http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities.htm#FT_Prog).
Configurable Digital I/Os. There are 14 digital pins in the FT260 that can be configured for different
purposes, such as UART/I2C bus signals, General Purpose Input/Output (GPIO), LED indicator for data
transfer over UART, a USB suspend indicator output, remote wake up input, an interrupt input or power
enable indicator. Functions for each pin will be determined during Chip Configuration, with parameters
from the eFUSE or EEPROM, or via USB commands.
The signal drive strength of these Digital I/Os can be configured via the FT_Prog utility for different
design needs.
Power management. The operating clock for the FT260 can be set as 48MHz, 24MHz, 12MHz. Higher
operating frequencies allow higher data throughput. And, lower operating frequencies allow lower power
consumption. IDLE mode is also supported and can be enabled via the parameters in eFUSE or EEPROM.
The system operating clock will be switched to 30 kHz when no data is transferred between USB and
I2C/UART bus for a period of 5 seconds. Any UART RX signalling will trigger the whole chip exiting from
the IDLE mode to normal operating status.
USB suspend/resume and remote wakeup are fully supported. The FT260 will be set to a power saving
status and the clock to most of the digital circuits will be stopped when the device is suspended.
Source Power and Power Consumption. The FT260 is capable of operating with a voltage supply of
+3.3V or +5.0V with a nominal operational mode current of 24mA, a nominal idle mode current of 5.6mA
and a nominal USB suspend mode current of 405µA. This allows greater margin for peripheral designs to
meet the USB suspend mode current limit of 2.5mA. An integrated level converter within the FT260
allows the device to interface with logic running at +1.8V, 2.5V or +3.3V. (Note: External pull-ups are
recommended for IO <3V3).
4.2 Functional Block Descriptions
The following paragraphs detail each function within the FT260. Please refer to the block diagram shown
in Figure 2.1 .
Internal Oscillator. The Internal Oscillator cell generates a 48MHz reference clock. With internal
trimming mechanisms and an adaptive algorithm, this oscillator provides a stable clock source to the USB
DPLL block for generating a recovered clock to Clock Synthesizer block for functional operating.
Clock Synthesizer. The Clock Synthesizer takes the 48MHz clock from the Internal Oscillator and

generates 48MHz, 24MHz and 12MHz as reference clocks. The user can select one of these reference
clocks as the system operating clock through software over USB. The system operating clock will be the
clock source for embedded functions to generate the required interface clock. Higher frequencies should
be chosen for higher data throughput demand and lower frequencies for lower power operation. Users
can choose the system operating frequency based on the application.
USB Transceiver. The USB Transceiver cell provides the USB 1.1 / USB 2.0 full-speed physical interface.
Output drivers provide +3.3V level slew rate control , while a differential input and two single ended
input receivers provide data in, Single-Ended-0 (SE0) and USB reset detection conditions respectfully. A
1.5kΩ pull up resistor on USBDP is incorporated.
USB DPLL. The DPLL cell locks on to the incoming NRZI USB data and generates recovered clock and
data signals for the Serial Interface Engine (SIE) block.
Serial Interface Engine (SIE). The Serial Interface Engine (SIE) block performs the parallel to serial
and serial to parallel conversion of the USB data. In accordance with the USB 2.0 specification, it
performs bit stuffing/un-stuffing and CRC5/CRC16 generation. It also checks the CRC on the USB data
stream.
USB HID Protocol Engine. The USB HID Protocol Engine manages the standard commands from the
device control pipe when enumerating. It also handles the Human Interface Device (HID) class
commands between the standard HID host driver and the device with I2C or/and UART functions. With
the Device Interface Configuration pins, DCNF0 and DCNF1, it can easily connect HID functions via UART
or I2C interfaces to a PC host driver. Additionally, it can simultaneously support 2 HID functions via UART
and I2C interfaces. This Protocol Engine also includes an IN and OUT Buffer management memory unit
which handles the data between USB endpoints and function interfaces such as UART and I2C.
The USB HID Protocol Engine includes:
Endpoint-0 for a control pipe with max packet size 64 Bytes
2 endpoints for interrupt-in pipe with max packet size equal to 64 Bytes
2 endpoints for interrupt-out pipe with max packet size up to 64 Bytes
Multiple interfaces configuration support
HID class-specific request parsing and transporting to I2C/UART bus interface
command Suspend detection and power management
Remote wake-up support
Fully compatible to USB2.0 specification requirement in full speed mode
OUT Buffer. Data sent from the USB host controller to the FT260 via the USB data OUT endpoint is
stored in the OUT buffer. Data is removed from the OUT buffer to function interfaces under the control of
the USB HID protocol engines. The endpoint buffer size is 64 bytes as the maximum packet size defined
for full speed transferring. For the interrupt pipe, the buffer is double buffered for increased throughput.
IN Buffer. Data from the function interfaces is stored in the IN buffer. The USB host controller removes
data from the IN buffer by sending a USB request for data from the device data IN endpoint. The
endpoint buffer size is 64 bytes as the maximum packet size defined for full speed transferring. For the
interrupt pipe, the buffer is double buffered for increased throughput.
UART Controller. When the data and control bus are configured in UART mode, the interface
implements a standard asynchronous serial UART port with flow control. The UART performs
asynchronous 7/8 bit Parallel to Serial and Serial to Parallel conversion of the data on the RS232 (RS422
and RS485) interface. Control signals supported by the UART include RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR, DCD and RI.

5.2 I2C Bus Interface
I2C (Inter Integrated Circuit) is a multi-master serial bus invented by Philips. I2C uses two bi-directional
open-drain wires called serial data (SDA) and serial clock (SCL). Common I²C bus speeds are standard
mode (SM) with a bit rate up to 100 Kbit/s, fast mode (FM) with a bit rate up to 400 Kbit/s, Fast mode
plus (FM+) with a bit rate up to 1 Mbit/s, and High Speed mode (HS) with the bit rate up to 3.4 Mbit/s.
An I2C bus node can operate either as a master or a slave:
Master node
– issues the clock and addresses slaves
Slave node
– receives the clock line and address.
The FT260 operates as an I2C master and is capable of being set to the speed modes defined in the I2C
bus specification. Besides the speed mode defined in the I2C standard specification, the I2C controller of
the FT260 can support flexible SCL frequencies defined by the following function
𝑺𝑪𝑳 𝑭𝒓𝒆𝒒 =
𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐅𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲
𝐌∗(𝐍+𝟏)
𝑴 = 𝟔 𝒐𝒓 𝟖; 𝑵 = 𝟏, 𝟐, 𝟑, … … , 𝟏𝟐𝟕
When the target frequency is below 100 KHz or higher than 1MHz, M will be equal to 8; otherwise, M will
be equal to 6. For example, to generate a 3MHz frequency on SCL, M will be selected as 8. With the
operating clock frequency equal to 48MHz, the user can set N as 1. The SCL frequency of the I2C master
mode for the FT260 can be set via USB commands. Details can be referenced in the FT260 Application
Notes.
5.2.1 I2C Pin Definition
The I2C function in the FT260 is an I2C master device. It is enabled by default when the FT260 is powered
up and the operating speed on the I2C bus is designed as 60 KHz for connectivity to most of the external
I2C slave devices. The I2C pins of the FT260 are
Clock
– SCL
(DIO5, pin 12 @ WQFN28), as clock output with open-drain design
Data
– SDA (DIO6, pin 13 @ WQFN28), command/address/data transfer between master and
slave with open-drain design
5.2.2 I2C Bus Protocol
There are four potential modes of operation for a given bus device, although most devices only use a
single role (Master or Slave) and its two modes (Transmit and Receive):
Master transmit – sending data to a slave
Master receive – receiving data from a slave
Slave transmit – sending data to a master
Slave receive
– receiving data from the master

The following figure shows the basic I2C bus protocol
Figure 5.1 I2C Bus Protocol
The master is initially in master transmit mode by sending a start bit followed by the 7-bit address of the
slave it wishes to communicate with, which is finally followed by a single bit representing whether it
wishes to write(0) to or read(1) from the slave.
If the slave exists on the bus then it will respond with an ACK bit (active low for acknowledged) for that
address. The master then continues in either transmit or receive mode (according to the read/write bit it
sent), and the slave continues in its complementary mode (receive or transmit, respectively).
The address and the data bytes are sent most significant bit first. The start bit is indicated by a high-tolow transition of SDA with SCL high; the stop bit is indicated by a low-to-high transition of SDA with SCL
high.
If the master wishes to write to the slave then it repeatedly sends a byte with the slave sending an ACK
bit. (In this situation, the master is in master transmit mode and the slave is in slave receive mode.)
If the master wish to read from the slave then it repeatedly receives a byte from the slave, the master
sends an ACK bit after every byte but the last one. (In this situation, the master is in master receive
mode and the slave is in slave transmit mode.). The master then ends transmission with a stop bit, or it
may send another START bit if it wishes to retain control of the bus for another transfer (a "combined
message").
I²C defines three basic types of message, each of which begins with a START and ends with a STOP:
Single message where a master writes data to a slave;
Single message where a master reads data from a slave;
Combined messages, where a master issues at least two reads and/or writes to one or more
slaves
In a combined message, each read or write begins with a START and the slave address. After the first
START, these are also called repeated START bits; repeated START bits are not preceded by STOP bits,
which is how slaves know the next transfer is part of the same message.
Users can refer to the I2C specification for more information on the protocol.

5.2.3 I2C Slave Address
The FT260 is configured as a USB to I²C master bridge and is able to issue any value of 7-bits slave
address. Users can issue I2C commands towards an I2C slave device to read or write data via the
applications defined in USB host side. For details, refer to the FT260 Application Notes.
When the FT260 is powered up, the I2C master controller will start to scan the external I2C device. The
scanning address range is from 50h to 57h for the types of EEPROM. For further details refer to section

5.3 UART Interface
A universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART) is a computer hardware device that translates data
between parallel and serial forms. UARTs are commonly used in conjunction with communication
standards such as TIA (formerly EIA) RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485.
The UART can support baud rates from 1.2 Kbaud to 12 Mbaud defined by the following function.
𝐁𝐚𝐮𝐝 𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐞 =
𝑶𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑪𝒍𝒐𝒄𝒌 𝑭𝒓𝒆𝒒𝒖𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒚
𝑩𝒂𝒖𝒅 𝑫𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒔𝒐𝒓
The baud divisor is used to divide the operating clock frequency to the desired baud rate. It can take any
value between 4 and 40000 with the added option of adding a fractional component in the order of
1/8ths.
Example: To generate an 115200 baud rate in the FT260, the operating clock frequency to the UART
controller equals to 48MHz. The baud divisor can be calculated as shown in the below equation.
𝐁𝐚𝐮𝐝 𝐃𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐫 =
𝟒𝟖𝑴𝑯𝒛
= 𝟒𝟏𝟔. 𝟔𝟔𝟕
𝟏𝟏𝟓𝟐𝟎𝟎𝑯𝒛
Due to the fractional component is the order of 1/8ths, the baud divisor must be selected as 416.625. It
is obvious that the difference of baud divisors will produce a percentage error. A comparison of standard
baud rates and the divisor values can be seen in Table 5.3 below. This shows the baud rate required,
followed by the divisor value needed to achieve this if the UART is running off a 48MHz clock. Then it lists
the actual baud rate achieved and finally the percentage error this produces.

Ring Indicator (RI)
– DIO11 (pin-18 @ WQFN28)

5.3.2 UART Bus Protocol
Data transferring uses NRZ (Non-Return to Zero) data format consisting of 1 start bit, 7 or 8 data bits, an
optional parity bit, and one or two stop bits.
Data Bits - 7 data bits or 8 data bits.
Parity Bit - No parity.
- Odd parity. This means that the parity bit is set to either ‘1’ or ‘0’ so that an odd
number of 1’s are sent.
- Even parity. This means that the parity bit is set to either ‘1’ or ‘0’ so that an even
number of 1’s are sent.
- High parity. This simply means that the parity bit is always High.
- Low parity. This simply means that the parity bit is always Low.
Stop Bits - one bit or two bits.
When transmitting the data bits, the least significant bit is transmitted first. UART transmitting and
receive waveforms are illustrated in the below figures.

equipment (DCE) is ready to receive data. If it is active (low), then the FT260 is free to transmit data on
the TX data line, otherwise it has to hold the data until CTS goes low. The RTS output is used to indicate
that The FT260 is capable of receiving data (active low). Thus, it should be set inactive by the FT260
when both the UART receive register and receive holding register are full.
DTR/DSR Hardware Flow Control
These signals are provided to give information about the status of each UART. When this mode is enabled
and the DTS input is high, the FT260 UART should not send any data on the TX line. DTR will be enabled
on reset and a register bit will allow the IO Bus to alter the state at any time.
Software Flow Control
When software flow control is enabled the XON character and XOFF character are used to stop and start
the flow of data. The XON character tells the downstream device to start sending data. The XOFF
character tells the downstream device to stop sending data. Typical defaults for XON is `11’ and for XOFF
is `13’.

5.4 GPIOs
Most of the digital I/O pins of the FT260 have a GPIO function as an alternative function. For example,
pin 10 can be RXD or GPIOC, and RXD is the main function of pin 10. Usually, if the main function of a
pin is switched off, the pin will be switched to a GPIO pin. Therefore, if UART is turned off, all UART pins
will become GPIO pins. The FT260 has 3 pins which have more than 2 functions. They are GPIO 2(pin
14), GPIOA (pin 7), and GPIOG (pin 27). The working function of these 3 pins can be configured by
eFUSE, EEPROM, or via USB commands. Please refer to the eFUSE and EEPROM sections for more details.
The FT260 has two sets of GPIO pins: GPIO0~5 and GPIOA~H. After the pins are configured as GPIO,
users can set or get the direction and pin status via the USB control pipe, i.e. HID SET_REPORT and
GET_REPORT requests. The FT260 also provides an interrupt input source on GPIO3/Interrupt (pin
15). If the interrupt is triggered, the FT260 will generate an interrupt report with report ID 0xB1 via the
interrupt IN pipe from the UART interface. The FT260 interrupt provides 4 trigger types: rising edge,
falling edge, level-high, and level-low. By default, it is configured as level-high for 30ms. Note, that GPIO
and interrupt are two different functions, which means if interrupt is the working function of pin 15, users
cannot set and get GPIO3 status. Switching pin 15 to be either GPIO or interrupt and trigger settings can
be done via EEPROM or USB commands.
The FT260 has flexible settings for suspend behaviour of all digital I/O pins. During suspend, these pins
can perform pushing high, pushing low, tristate, or no-change. No-change means to keep the original
function and value during suspend. The suspend behaviour can be configured in an external EEPROM.

FT260 Power Configurations
Section 7.1 to section 7.4 illustrates possible USB power configurations for the FT260. Section 7.5 shows
the configuration for system pins about DCNF0, DCNF1, XRESETN and other system pins. Section 7.6
shows the power for programming eFUSE.
7.1 USB Bus Powered Configuration
Figure 7.1 Bus Powered Configuration
Figure 7.1 illustrates the FT260 in a typical USB2.0 bus powered design configuration. A USB bus
powered device gets its power from the USB bus. Basic rules for USB bus powered devices are as follows
i)
ii)
iii)
iv)
v)
On plug-in to USB, the device should draw no more current than 100mA.
In USB Suspend mode the device should draw no more than 2.5mA.
A bus powered, high power USB device (one that draws more than 100mA) can use the
SUSPOUT_N function on the pin DIO7 as a power disable function and use it to keep the
current below 2.5mA on USB suspend.
A device that consumes more than 100mA cannot be plugged into a USB bus powered hub.
No device can draw more than 500mA from the USB bus.
The VCCIN pin is the power source for the FT260 and can directly connect to VBUS. When the I/O voltage
level is as +3.3V, users can directly connect VOUT3V3 to VCCIO without an external regulator. The
VBUS_DET pin is a 5V-tolerant input pin and can directly connect to VBUS without an on-board voltage
divider circuit. The power descriptors in the embedded eFUSE of the FT260 or in the external EEPROM
should be programmed to match the current drawn by the device.
A ferrite bead is connected in series with the USB power supply to reduce EMI noise from the FT260 and
associated circuitry being radiated down the USB cable to the USB host. The value of the Ferrite Bead
depends on the total current drawn by the application. A suitable range of Ferrite Beads is available from
Steward (www.steward.com), for example Laird Technologies Part # MI0805K400R-10.

7.2 Self Powered Configuration with 5V Source Input
Figure 7.2 Self Powered Configuration with 5V Source Input
Figure 7.2 illustrates the FT260 in a typical USB2.0 self-powered configuration. A USB self-powered
device gets its power from its own power supply, 5V, and does not draw current from the USB bus. The
basic rules for USB self-powered devices are as follows –
i)
ii)
iii)
A self-powered device should not force current down the USB bus when the USB host or hub
controller is powered down.
A self-powered device can use as much current as it needs during normal operation and USB
suspend as it has its own power supply.
A self-powered device can be used with any USB host, a bus powered USB hub or a selfpowered USB hub.
VCCIN is the power source for the FT260 and will source power from its own power supply. When the I/O
voltage level is +3.3V, users can directly connect VOUT3V3 to VCCIO without an external regulator. The
power descriptors in the embedded eFUSE of the FT260 or in the external EEPROM should be
programmed as self-powered.
In order to comply with the first requirement above, the USB bus power (USB connector pin 1) is used to
control the VBUS_DET pin of the FT260 device. VBUS_DET is a 5V-tolerant input pin and can directly
connect to VBUS without an on-board voltage divider circuit. When the USB host or hub is powered up an
internal 1.5kΩ resistor on DP is pulled up to +3.3V, thus identifying the device to the USB host or hub.
When the USB host or hub is powered off, the VBUS_DET pin will be low and the FT260 is held in a
suspend state. In this state the internal 1.5kΩ resistor is not pulled up to any power supply (hub or host
is powered down), so no current flows down DP via the 1.5kΩ pull-up resistor. Failure to do this may
cause some USB host or hub controllers to power up erratically.

Figure 7.4 Bus Powered Configuration with +1.8V/+2.5V I/O voltage Level
Figure 7.4 illustrates the FT260 in a typical USB bus-powered configuration similar to Figure 7.1. The
difference here is that the I/O pin voltage source is 2.5V or 1.8V, not 3.3V. An external regulator can
source the power from VBUS and regulate out the required I/O voltage level. Then, VCCIO can connect to
the output of the regulator to achieve I/O voltage level operating at +1.8V or +2.5V. VCCIN should be
connected to VBUS to supply the power source for FT260 operation.

7.5 Configuration for System Pins
Figure 7.5 Recommended FT260 Configuration of System Pins
The pins, DCNF0 and DCNF1, will determine one of 3 configurations for the FT260 as defined in Section
5.1. These 2 pins have internal pull-down resistors; these 2 pins can be left floating for logic-0. If logic-1
is applied for DCNF0 and/or DCNF1, a 10K Ohm resistor should be connected to VCCIO as shown in
Figure7.5.
The pin RESETN is the external reset source for the FT260. There is also a power-on-reset (POR) design
in the FT260. If there is no requirement for an external reset, RESETN can be left floating or weakly tied
to logic-high. If an external reset is required in the design, the related circuit in Figure 7.5 can be used
for reference.
The DEBUGGER pin is reserved for debugging purposes and should be tied to VCCIO, the I/O power
domain for the FT260. The pin, STEST_RESETN, is also a reserved pin and should be tied to logic-high.
Note that the GND pin located at pin-29 in Figure 7.5 is the paddle in the bottom side of the WQFN28
package. It should be tied together with the GND for FT260.

7.6 Power for Programming eFUSE
Figure 7.6 FSOURCE for eFUSE
When the FT260 is in normal operation without programming the eFUSE, the FSOURCE pin can be left
floating. If the programming mechanism is required in the system, a power source with 3.8V should be
applied. Figure 7.6 shows the related components for FSOURCE.
The programmer module, UMFTPD3A, which is developed by FTDI, can supply the power source for
FSOURCE. With the programming utility FT_PROG, it can control the programming procedure and timing
to the embedded eFUSE in the FT260. Users can easily set the vendor specifying parameters which are
defined in eFUSE for customizing the FT260.

8.2 USB to RS232 Converter
Figure 8.2 Application Example 2: USB to RS232 Converter
An example of using the FT260 as a USB to RS232 converter is illustrated in Figure 8.2. In this
application, a TTL to RS232 Level Converter IC is used on the serial UART interface of the FT260 to
convert the TTL levels of the FT260 to RS232 levels. This level shift can be done using the popular “213”
series of TTL to RS232 level converters. These “213” devices typically have 4 transmitters and 5 receivers
in a 28-LD SSOP package and feature an in-built voltage level converter to convert the +5V (nominal)
VCC to the +/- 9 volts required by RS232.
The Shut Down control (SHDN) signal of the converter device is the suspend control. The pin DIO7 of the
FT260 can be set to function as SUSPOUT_N with active-low output and can be the control source to the
converter IC. Note that the power source for the converter IC in Figure 8.2 is not supplied from the
VOUT3V3 of the FT260 since the current consumption of this kind of converter is high. The supply current
of VOUT3V3 is limited. Details can be referred to Table 6.1.

8.3 USB to RS485 Converter
Figure 8.3 Application Example 3: USB to RS485 Converter
An example of using the FT260 as a USB to RS485 converter is shown in Figure 8.3. In this application, a
TTL to RS485 level converter IC is used on the serial UART interface of the FT260 to convert the TTL
levels of the FT260 to RS485 levels.
The converter device requires separate enable signals on both the transmitter and receiver. With RS485,
the transmitter is only enabled when a character is being transmitted from the UART. Setting DIO0 as
TX_ACTIVE is provided for exactly the same purpose and wired to the transmitter enable (DE) of
converter device. The pin DIO12 of FT260 can be configured as PWREN_N and wired to the receiver
enable (RE) of the converter device. With these configurations of the pins, the FT260 can be used as the
USB to RS485 converter.
RS485 is a multi-drop network; so many devices can communicate with each other over a two wire cable
interface. The RS485 cable requires to be terminated at each end of the cable. A link (which provides the
120Ω termination) allows the cable to be terminated if the converter device is physically positioned at
either end of the cable.
In this example, the data transmitted by the FT260 is also present on the receive path of the converter
device. This is a common feature of RS485 and requires the application software to remove the
transmitted data from the received data stream. With the FT260, it is possible to do this entirely in
hardware by modifying the example shown in Figure 8.3 by logically OR-ing the FT260 TX_ACTIVE and
the receiver output (RO) of converter device then connecting the output of the OR gate to the RXD of
FT260.
Note that the TX_ACTIVE is activated 1 bit ahead the start bit. TX_ACTIVE is de-activated at the same
time as the stop bit. This is not configurable.

8.4 USB to RS422 Converter
Figure 8.4 Application Example 4 : USB to RS422 Converter
An example of using the FT260 as a USB to RS422 converter is shown in Figure 8.4. In this application,
two TTL to RS422 Level Converter ICs are used on the serial UART interface of the FT260 to convert the
TTL levels of the FT260 to RS422 levels.
There are many suitable level converter devices available. In Figure 8.4, the converter devices have an
enable control (EN) to activate the data lines. Setting DIO7 as SUSPOUT_N allows the FT260 to disable
the level converters when the system is in suspend. SUSPENDOUT_N is an active-low signal. The DIO0
and DIO12 of the FT260 can be configured as TX_LED and RX_LED. The FT260 can toggle LEDs with
these signals when the UART interface is transmitting and receiving data.

User Configuration
The FT260 provides two storage paths for customization. One is eFUSE which is embedded in the FT260;
another is the executable path to an external EEPROM. Parameters are defined for the customization and
are categorized into several groups. The groups are USB-related, GPIO function selection, pin feature
settings, UART settings and HID-over-I2C.
Embedded eFUSE provides a cost-effective customization. Without external devices, the FT260 can have
customised VID/PID for USB, driving strength for digital pins, GPIOA, GPIOG, GPIO2 configurations and
HID-over-I2C basic settings.
For customization demand, an EEPROM is required in the application. With this external EEPROM, more
parameters are defined for customization. In this storage area, parameters in eFUSE are all included.
USB string descriptor, pins status when USB suspending, and detailed pin configurations are included in
EERPOM. Details can refer to Section 9.2.2.
There is already a default value for each parameter in the design of the FT260. When the parameters in
eFUSE are programmed and enabled, the parameters in eFUSE will be loaded when the FT260 is powered
up or reset.
Both eFUSE and EEPROM for the FT260 can be programmed over USB. This method is the same as for
the MTP on other FTDI devices such as the FT-X series. Please note that in order to program eFUSE, the
FT260 requires an additional programming voltage (3.8V) on its FSOURCE pin. The programming board,
UMFTPD3A, supplies an easy connection bridge between the FT260 and a USB host for supplying the
power source, for timing control of eFUSE, and for communicating with the programming utility FT_Prog.
Further details may be found in the UMFTPD3A datasheet.
The FT_Prog utility is provided free-of-charge from the FTDI website, and can be found at the link below.
The user guide is also available at this link.

9.1 Programming the embedded eFUSE over USB
The eFUSE in the FT260 can be programmed over USB. This method is the same as for the MTP on other
FTDI devices such as the FT-X series. Note that in order to program eFUSE, the FT260 requires an
additional programming voltage (3.8V) on FSOURCE (pin-25 @ WQFN28 ; pin-1 @ TSSOP28). The
programming board, UMFTPD3A, can supply an easy connection bridge between the FT260 and a USB
host for supplying the power source to FSOURCE and for communicating with the programming utility
FT_Prog.
9.1.1 Default Values
The parameters defined in eFUSE are shown in Table 9.1. Default values are defined in the hardware
design of the FT260. If the parameters defined in eFUSE are enabled, the settings in eFUSE will replace
the default value.

9.2 Programming the external EEPROM over USB
The external EEPROM can be programmed over USB, which is supported by FT_PROG as most FTDI chips
do.
The FT_Prog utility is provided free-of-charge from the FTDI website, and can be found at the link below.
The user guide is also available at this link.
http://www.ftdichip.com/Support/Utilities.htm#FT_Prog
Please note that a user needs to specify the data address type as one-byte or two-byte when
programming the external EEPROM.
9.2.1 Supported EEPROM Spec
The FT260 supports an external EEPROM with I²C interface, slave address 0x50~0x57, and data size
larger than 256 bytes. When the FT260 powers on, it will scan the I²C bus and try to find if an external
EEPROM is present. If it is present, it will check the content and load the configuration data from the
EEPROM into the FT260. Note that loading data from an external EEPROM is the last step of power-on,
and it will overwrite the configuration data from eFUSE.
There are two different types of EEPROM. One has one-byte data address; the other one has two-byte
data address. Usually, the first one has a data size smaller than 256 bytes, and the second one has a
data size more than 256 bytes. It is not possible for the FT260 to automatically identify the EEPROM type,
therefore, FT_prog will require the user’s input to specify the type of the external EEPROM.
In summary, the supported external EEPROM has:
I²C interface with slave address 0x50~0x57
256 bytes at least
One-byte data address or two-byte data address
