1.1 Driver Support
The FT4232H requires USB drivers (listed below) , available free from http://www.ftdichip.com, which
are used to make the FT4232H appear as a virtual COM port (VCP). This allows the user to communicate
with the USB interface via a standard PC serial emulation port (for example TTY). Another FTDI USB
driver, the D2XX driver, can also be used with application software to directly access the FT4232H
through a DLL.

Please refer to section 8 for all package mechanical parameters.
1.3 USB Compliant
The FT4232H is fully compliant with the USB 2.0 specification and has been given the USB-IF Test-ID
(TID) 40720024.
The timing of the rise/fall time of the USB signals is not only dependant on the USB signal drivers, it is
also dependant system and is affected by factors such as PCB layout, external components and any
transient protection present on the USB signals. For USB compliance these may require a slight
adjustment. This timing can be modified through a programmable setting stored in the same external
EEPROM that is used for the USB descriptors. Timing can also be changed by adding appropriate passive
components to the USB signals.

Notes
1.
When using remote wake-up, ensure the resistors are pulled-up in suspend. Also ensure
peripheral designs do not allow any current sink paths that may partially power the peripheral.
2.
If remote wake-up is enabled, a peripheral is allowed to draw up to 2.5mA in suspend. If remote
wake-up is disabled, the peripheral must draw no more than 500uA in suspend.
3. If a Pull-down is enabled, the 4232H will not wake up from suspend.

3.4.3 FT4232H pins used in an MPSSE
The FT4232H channel A and channel B each have a Multi-Protocol Synchronous Serial Engine (MPSSE).
Each MPSSE can be independently configured to a number of industry standard serial interface protocols
such as JTAG, I2C or SPI, or it can be used to implement a proprietary bus protocol. For example, it is
possible to use one of the FT4232H’s channels (e.g. channel A) to connect to an SRAM configurable FPGA
such as supplied by Altera or Xilinx. The FPGA device would normally be un-configured (i.e. have no
defined function) at power-up. Application software on the PC could use the MPSSE to download
configuration data to the FPGA over USB. This data would define the hardware function on power up. The
other MPSSE channel (e.g. channel B) would be available for another serial interface function while
channel C and channel D can be configured as UART or bit-bang mode. Alternatively each MPSSE can be
used to control a number of GPIO pins. When configured in this mode, the pins used and the descriptions
of the signals are shown in Table 3.7

FT4232H QUAD HIGH SPEED USB TO MULTIPURPOSE UART/MPSSE IC
Datasheet Version 2.09
Clearance No.: FTDI#78

Function Description
The FT4232H is FTDI’s 5th generation of USB devices. The FT4232H is a USB 2.0 High Speed (480Mb/s)
to UART/MPSSE ICs. It has the capability of being configured in a variety of industry standard serial
interfaces.
The FT4232H has four independent configurable interfaces. Two of these interfaces can be configured as
UART, JTAG, SPI, I2C or bit-bang mode, using an MPSSE, with independent baud rate generators. The
remaining two interfaces can be configured as UART or bit-bang.
4.1 Key Features
USB High Speed to Quad Interface. The FT4232H is a USB 2.0 High Speed (480Mbits/s) to quad
flexible/configurable serial interfaces.
Functional Integration. The FT4232H integrates a USB protocol engine which controls the physical
Universal Transceiver Macrocell Interface (UTMI) and handles all aspects of the USB 2.0 High Speed
interface. The FT4232H includes an integrated +1.8V Low Drop-Out (LDO) regulator and 12MHz to
480MHz PLL. It also includes 2kbytes Tx and Rx data buffers per channel. The FT4232H effectively
integrates the entire USB protocol on a chip.
MPSSE.Multi-Purpose Synchronous Serial Engines (MPSSE), capable of speeds up to 30 Mbits/s, provides
flexible synchronous interface configurations.
Data Transfer rate. The FT4232H supports a data transfer rate up to 12 Mbit/s when configured as an
RS232/RS422/RS485 UART interface. Please note the FT4232H does not support the baud rates of 7
Mbaud 9 Mbaud, 10 Mbaud and 11 Mbaud.
Latency Timer. This is really a feature of the driver and is used to as a timeout to flush short packets of
data back to the PC. The default is 16ms, but it can be altered between 0ms and 256ms. At 0ms latency
you get a packet transfer on every high speed microframe.
4.2 Functional Block Descriptions
Quad Multi-Purpose UART/MPSSE Controllers. The FT4232H has four independent UART/MPSSE
Controllers. These blocks control the UART data or control the Bit-Bang mode if selected by the SETUP
command. The blocks used on channel A and channel B also contain a MPSSE (Multi Protocol
Synchronous Serial Engine) in each of them which can be used independently of each other and the
remaining UART channels. Using this it can be configured under software command to have 1 MPSSE + 3
UARTS (each UART can be set to Bit Bang mode to gain extra I/O if required) or 2 MPSSE + 2 UARTS.
USB Protocol Engine and FIFO control. The USB Protocol Engine controls and manages the interface
between the UTMI PHY and the FIFOs of the chip. It also handles power management and the USB
protocol specification.
Dual Port FIFO TX Buffer (2Kbytes per channel). Data from the Host PC is stored in these buffers to
be used by the Multi-purpose UART/FIFO controllers. This is controlled by the USB Protocol Engine and
FIFO control block.
Dual Port FIFO RX Buffer (2Kbytes per channel). Data from the Multi-purpose UART/FIFO controllers
is stored in these blocks to be sent back to the Host PC when requested. This is controlled by the USB
Protocol Engine and FIFO control block.
RESET Generator - The integrated Reset Generator Cell provides a reliable power-on reset to the device
internal circuitry at power up. The RESET# input pin allows an external device to reset the FT4232H.
RESET# should be tied to VCCIO (+3.3v) if not being used.
Independent Baud Rate Generators - The Baud Rate Generators provides a x16 or a x10 clock input
to the UART’s from a 120MHz reference clock and consists of a 14 bit pre-scaler and 4 register bits which
provide fine tuning of the baud rate (used to divide by a number plus a fraction). This determines the
Baud Rate of the UART which is programmable from 183 baud to 12 million baud. The FT2232H does not
support the baud rates of 7 Mbaud 9 Mbaud, 10 Mbaud and 11 Mbaud.
See FTDI application note AN232B-05 on the FTDI website (www.ftdichip.com) for more details.

+1.8V LDO Regulator. The +1.8V LDO regulator generates the +1.8 volts for the core and the USB
transceiver cell. Its input (VREGIN) must be connected to a +3.3V external power source. It is also
recommended to add an external filtering capacitor to the VREGIN. There is no direct connection from the
+1.8V output (VREGOUT) and the internal functions of the FT4232H. The PCB must be routed to connect
VREGOUT to the pins that require the +1.8V including VREGIN.
UTMI PHY. The Universal Transceiver Macrocell Interface (UTMI) physical interface cell. This block
handles the Full speed / High Speed SERDES (serialise - deserialise) function for the USB TX/RX data. It
also provides the clocks for the rest of the chip. A 12 MHz crystal should be connected to the OSCI and
OSCO pins. A 12K Ohm resistor should be connected between REF and GND on the PCB.
The UTMI PHY functions include:
Supports 480 Mbit/s "High Speed" (HS)/ 12 Mbit/s “Full Speed” (FS), FS Only and "Low Speed"
(LS).
SYNC/EOP generation and checking.
Data and clock recovery from serial stream on the USB.
Bit-stuffing/unstuffing; bit stuff error detection.
Manages USB Resume, Wake Up and Suspend functions.
Single parallel data clock output with on-chip PLL to generate higher speed serial data clocks.
EEPROM Interface. When used without an external EEPROM the FT4232H defaults to a quad USB to an
asynchronous serial port device. Adding an external 93C46 (93C56 or 93C66) EEPROM allows
customization of USB VID, PID, Serial Number, Product Description Strings and Power Descriptor value
of the FT4232H for OEM applications. Other parameters controlled by the EEPROM include Remote Wake
Up, Soft Pull Down on Power-Off and I/O pin drive strength.
The EEPROM must be a 16 bit wide configuration such as a Microchip 93LC46B or equivalent capable of a
1Mbit/s clock rate at VCC = +3.00V to 3.6V. The EEPROM is programmable in-circuit over USB using a
utility program called MPROG available from FTDI’s web site (www.ftdichip.com). This allows a blank
part to be soldered onto the PCB and programmed as part of the manufacturing and test process.
If no EEPROM is connected (or the EEPROM is blank), the FT4232H will default to serial ports. The device
uses its built-in default VID (0403), PID (6011) Product Description and Power Descriptor Value. In this
case, the device will not have a serial number as part of the USB descriptor.

Figure 4.3 Dual RS485 Configuration
In this case both channel A and channel C are configured as RS485 operating at TTL levels. This example
uses two Sipex SP491 devices but there are similar parts available from Maxim and Analog Devices
amongst others. The SP491 is a RS485 device in a compact 8 pin SOP package. It has separate enables
on both the transmitter and receiver. With RS485, the transmitter is only enabled when a character is
being transmitted from the UART. The TXDEN pins on the FT4232H are provided for exactly that purpose,
and so the transmitter enables are wired to the TXDEN’s. The receiver enable is active low, so it is wired
to the PWREN# pin to disable the receiver when in USB suspend mode.
RS485 is a multi-drop network – i.e. many devices can communicate with each other over a single two
wire cable connection. The RS485 cable requires to be terminated at each end of the cable. Links are
provided to allow the cable to be terminated if the device is physically positioned at either end of the
cable.
In this example the data transmitted by the FT4232H is also received by the device that is transmitting.
This is a common feature of RS485 and requires the application software to remove the transmitted data
from the received data stream. With the FT4232H it is possible to do this entirely in hardware – simply
modify the schematic so that RXD of the FT4232H is the logical OR of the SP481 receiver output with
TXDEN using an HC32 or similar logic gate.

4.4 MPSSE Interface Mode Description.
MPSSE Mode is designed to allow the FT4232H to interface efficiently with synchronous serial protocols
such as JTAG, I2C and SPI Bus. It can also be used to program SRAM based FPGA’s over USB. The
MPSSE interface is designed to be flexible so that it can be configured to allow any synchronous serial
protocol (industry standard or proprietary) to be implemented using the FT4232H. MPSSE is only
available on channel A and channel B.
MPSSE is fully configurable, and is programmed by sending commands down the data stream. These can
be sent individually or more efficiently in packets. MPSSE is capable of a maximum sustained data rate of
30 Mbits/s.
When a channel is configured in MPSSE mode, the IO timing and signals used are shown in Figure 4.4
and Table 4.1. These show timings for CLKOUT=30MHz. CLKOUT can be divided internally to be provide a
slower clock.

Adaptive clocking is a new MPSSE feature added to the FT24232H MPSSE engine.
The mode is effectively handshaking the CLK signal with a return clock RTCK. This is a technique used by

4.5 Synchronous and Asynchronous Bit-Bang Interface Mode
Description
The FT4232H channel A,B,C or channel D can be configured as a bit-bang interface. There are two types
of bit-bang modes: synchronous and asynchronous.
Asynchronous Bit-Bang Mode
Asynchronous Bit-Bang mode is the same as BM-style Bit-Bang mode. On any channel configured in
asynchronous bit-bang mode. Data written to the device in the normal manner will be self clocked onto
the parallel I/O data pins (those which have been configured as outputs). Each I/O pin can be
independently set as an input or an output. The rate that the data is clocked out at is controlled by the
baud rate generator.
For the data to change there has to be new data written, and the baud rate clock has to tick. If no new
data is written to the channel, the pins will hold the last value written.
Synchronous Bit-Bang Mode
The synchronous Bit-Bang mode will only update the output parallel I/O port pins whenever
data is sent from the USB interface to the parallel interface. When this is done, data is read from the USB
Rx FIFO buffer and written out on the pins. Data can only be received from the parallel pins (to the USB
Tx FIFO interface) when the parallel interface has been written to.
With Synchronous Bit-Bang mode, data will only be sent out by the FT4232H if there is space in the
FT4232H USB TXFIFO for data to be read from the parallel interface pins. This Synchronous Bit-Bang
mode will read the data bus parallel I/O pins first, before it transmits data from the USB RxFIFO. It is
therefore 1 byte behind the output, and so to read the inputs for the byte that you have just sent,
another byte must be sent.
For example :(1) Pins start at 0xFF
Send 0x55,0xAA
Pins go to 0x55 and then to 0xAA
Data read = 0xFF,0x55
(2) Pins start at 0xFF
Send 0x55,0xAA,0xAA
(repeat the last byte sent)
Pins go to 0x55 and then to 0xAA
Data read = 0xFF,0x55,0xAA
Synchronous Bit-Bang Mode differs from Asynchronous Bit-Bang mode in that the device parallel output
is only read when the parallel output is written to by the USB interface. This makes it easier for the
controlling program to measure the response to a USB output stimulus as the data returned to the USB
interface is synchronous to the output data.
Asynchronous Bit-Bang mode is enabled using Set Bit Bang Mode driver command. A hex value of 1 will
enable Asynchronous Bit-Bang mode.
Synchronous Bit-Bang mode is enabled using Set Bit Bang Mode driver command. A hex value of 4 will
enable Synchronous Bit-Bang mode.
See application note AN2232-02, “Bit Mode Functions for the FT2232” for more details and
examples of using the bit-bang modes.
An example of the synchronous bi-bang mode timing is shown in Figure 4.7 and Table 4.2.

4.6 FT4232H Mode Selection
The 4 channels of the FT4232H reset to 4 asynchronous serial UART interfaces. Following a reset, the
required mode can be configured by sending the FT_SetBitMode command (refer to
D2XX_Programmers_Guide) to the USB driver software.
The EEPROM contents have no effect on the selected mode with the exception of selecting the TXDEN for
RS485 mode when asynchronous serial interface has been selected in software. If the device is reset,
then the 4 channels must be reconfigured into the required mode.
Note that the mode of each of the 4 channels is independent of the other channels.
The MPSSE can be configured directly using the D2XX commands. The D2XX_Programmers_Guide is
available from the FTDI website at
http://www.ftdichip.com/Documents/ProgramGuides/D2XX_Programmer's_Guide(FT_000071).pdf

Figure 6.1 Bus Powered Configuration Example 1
Figure 6.1 illustrates the FT4232H in a typical USB bus powered design configuration. A USB bus powered
device gets its power from the USB bus. In this application, the FT4232H requires that the VBUS (USB
+5V) is regulated down to +3.3V (using an LDO) to supply the VCCIO, VPLL, VPHY and VREGIN.
VREGIN is the +3.3V input to the on chip +1.8V regulator. The output of the on chip LDO regulator
(+1.8V) drives the FT4232H core supply (VCORE). This requires a minimum of a 3.3uF filter capacitor.

Figure 6.3 Self Powered Configuration Example 1
Figure 6.3 illustrates the FT4232H in a typical USB self powered configuration. A USB self powered device
gets its power from its own power supply and does not draw current from the USB bus. In this example
an external power supply is used. This external supply is regulated to +3.3V.
Note that in this set-up, the EEPROM should be configured for self-powered operation.

Figure 6.5 Recommended FT4232H Crystal Oscillator Configuration.
Figure 6.5 illustrates how to connect the FT4232H with a 12MHz ± 0.003% crystal. In this case loading
capacitors should to be added between OSCI, OSCO and GND as shown. A value of 27pF is shown as the
capacitor in the example – this will be good for many crystals but it is recommended to select the loading
capacitor value based on the manufacturer’s recommendations wherever possible. It is recommended to
use a parallel cut type crystal.
It is also possible to use a 12 MHz oscillator with the FT4232H. In this case the output of the oscillator
would drive OSCI, and OSCO should be left unconnected. The oscillator must have a CMOS output drive
capability.

6.4 4 Channel Transmit and Receiver LED Indication Example
The following example illustrates how a 74HCT595 can be used to decode the EEDATA data to indicate Tx
and Rx on each of the channels. The associated LED will light when the Channel is transmitting or
receiving data.

SN74HC595D
Figure 6.6 Using 74HC595 to Indicate Tx and Rx Data
In this configuration, the LEDs will flash when the EEPROM is accessed e.g. during enumeration.
Under normal operation, the EECS is held low to disable access to the EEPROM. In this special case, the
EECLK (frequency = 1.56µS) will clock the EEDATA into the 74HC595 shift register (with EECS low,
therefore EEPROM ignores the EEDATA). Then EECS will pulse high. The rising edge of the EECS latches
the data into a storage register of the 74HC595 which drives the LEDs.
Please refer to the 74HC595 datasheet for further explanation.
