GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The FT8U232AM is a cost-effective single chip USB UART ( U-UART ) solution for transferring serial data over USB. With data transfer rates of up to 920k baud ( RS232 ) and 2,000 k baud ( RS422 / RS485 ) , the FT8U232AM significantly raises the performance level above that above that of traditional ISA and PCI based UART solutions whilst offering true plug and play and easy interfacing through it's USB interface. Its flexible architecture allows this IC to be used in many different application areas - USB modems, Legacy RS232
Ù USB Converter cables, USB interface cables for PDA's , Bar Code Scanners , RS422 data links
and instrumentation ­ in fact almost any equipment that previously used a slow RS232 link for communication. Virtual COM port drivers are available for the FT8U232AM for Windows '98, Windows 98 SE and Windows 2000. Drivers for other operating systems are currently under development.

FT8U232AM - FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DESCRIPTION
·
3.3V LDO Regulator The 3.3V LDO Regulator generates the 3.3 volt reference voltage for driving the USB transceiver cell output buffers. It requires an external decoupling capacitor to be attached to the 3V3OUT regulator output pin.
·
USB Transceiver The USB Transceiver Cell provides the USB 1.1 full-speed physical interface to the USB cable. The output drivers provide 3.3 volt level slew rate control signalling, whilst a differential receiver and two single ended receivers provide USB data in, SEO and USB Reset condition detection.
·
USB DPLL The USB DPLL cell locks on to the incoming NRZI USB data and provides separate recovered clock and data signals to the SIE block.
·
6MHz Oscillator The 6MHz Oscillator cell generates a 6MHz reference clock input to the X8 Clock multiplier from an external 6MHz crystal or ceramic resonator.
·
X8 Clock Multiplier The X8 Clock Multiplier takes the 6MHz input from the Oscillator cell and generates a 12MHz reference clock for the SIE, USB Protocol Engine and UART FIFO controller blocks. It also generates a 48MHz reference clock for the USB DPPL and the Baud Rate Generator blocks.
·
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 to the USB 1.1 specification, it performs bit stuffing / un-stuffing and CRC5 / CRC16 generation / checking on the USB data stream.
·
USB Protocol Engine The USB Protocol Engine manages the data stream from the device USB control endpoint. It handles the low level USB protocol ( Chapter 9 ) requests generated by the USB host controller and the commands for controlling the functional parameters of the UART.
·
Dual Port TX Buffer ( 128 bytes ) Data from the USB data out endpoint is stored in the Dual Port TX buffer and removed from the buffer to the UART transmit register under control of the UART FIFO controller.
