Figure 5 illustrates how to use the FT2232C with a 3-Pin Ceramic Resonator. A suitable part would be a ceramic
resonator from Murata’s CERALOCK range. (Murata Part Number CSTCR6M00G15), or equivalent. 3-Pin ceramic
resonators have the load capacitors built into the resonator so no external loading capacitors are required. This makes
for an economical configuration. The accuracy of this Murata ceramic resonator is +/- 0.25% and it is specifically
designed for USB full speed applications. A 1 MegaOhm loading resistor across XTIN and XTOUT is recommended in
order to guarantee this level of accuracy.
Other ceramic resonators with a lesser degree of accuracy (typically +/- 0.5%) are technically out-with the USB
specification, but it has been calculated that using such a device will work satisfactorily in practice with a FT2232C
design. An example of such a device is Murata’s CSTLSM00G53.
Figure 6 illustrates how to use the FT2232C with a 6MHz Crystal or 2-Pin Ceramic Resonator. In this case, these
devices do not have in-built loading capacitors so these have to be added between XTIN, XTOUT and GND as
shown. A value of 27pF is shown as the capacitor in the example – this will be good for many crystals and some
resonators but do select the value based on the manufacturers recommendations wherever possible. If using a crystal,
use a parallel cut type. If using a resonator, see the previous note on frequency accuracy.
It is also possible to use a 6 MHz Oscillator with the FT2232C. In this case the output of the oscillator would be
connected to XTIN, and XTOUT should be left unconnected. The oscillator must have a CMOS output.
