FT232H SINGLE CHANNEL HI-SPEED USB TO MULTIPURPOSE UART/FIFO IC
Datasheet Version 1.3
Clearance No.: FTDI #199
3.5.4 FT232H can be configured as a Synchronous or Asynchronous Bit-Bang
Interface.
Bit-bang mode is an FTDI FT232H device mode that changes the 8 IO lines into an 8 bit bi-directional
data bus. This mode is enabled by sending a software command (FT_SetBitMode) to the FTDI driver.
When configured in any bit-bang mode, the pins used and the descriptions of the signals are shown in
Pin No.

Configuration Description
D7 to D0 bidirectional Bit-Bang parallel I/O
data pins
Write strobe, active low output indicates
when new data has been written to the I/O
pins from the Host PC (via the USB
interface).
Read strobe, this output rising edge indicates
when data has been read from the parallel
I/O pins and sent to the Host PC (via the USB
interface).

OUTPUT

RDSTB#
OUTPUT
The Send Immediate / WakeUp signal
combines two functions on a single pin. If
USB is in suspend mode (PWREN# = 1) and
remote wakeup is enabled in the EEPROM,
strobing this pin low will cause the device to
request a resume on the USB Bus. Normally,
this can be used to wake up the Host PC.
28
SIWU#
INPUT
During normal operation (PWREN# = 0), if
this pin is strobed low any data in the device
RX buffer will be sent out over USB on the
next Bulk-IN request from the drivers
regardless of the pending packet size. This
can be used to optimize USB transfer speed
for some applications. Tie this pin to VCCIO if
not used.
