3.4 Configured Pins
The following sections describe the function of the configurable pins referred to in the table given in
Section 3.2 which is determined by how the FT2232H is configured.
3.4.1 FT2232H pins used in an RS232 interface
The FT2232H channel A or channel B can be configured as an RS232 interface. When configured in this
mode, the pins used and the descriptions of the signals are shown in Table 3.4.

RI# = Ring Indicator Control Input. When the Remote Wake
up option is enabled in the EEPROM, taking RI# low can be
used to resume the PC USB Host controller from suspend.

TXDEN = (TTL level). For use with RS485 level converters.
RXLED = Receive signaling output. Pulses low when receiving
data (RXD) via USB. This should be connected to an LED.
RXLED#
TXLED = Transmit signaling output. Pulses low when
transmitting data (TXD) via USB. This should be connected to
an LED.
