4.10 CPU-style FIFO Interface Mode Description
CPU-style FIFO interface mode is designed to allow a CPU to interface to USB via the FT232H. This mode
is enabled in the external EEPROM. The interface is achieved using a chip select bit (CS#) and address bit
(A0). When the FT232H is in CPU-style Interface mode, the IO signal lines are configured as given in
Table 4.6. This mode uses a combination of CS# and A0 to determine the operation to be carried out.
The following Truth-Table 4.7 gives the decode values for particular operations.
