3.5 CBUS Signal Options
The following options can be configured on the CBUS I/O pins. CBUS signal options are common to both
package versions of the FT232R. These options can be configured in the internal EEPROM using the
software utility FT_PPROG or MPROG, which can be downloaded from the FTDI Utilities

Description
CBUS0, CBUS1, CBUS2, CBUS3, CBUS4
Enable transmit data for RS485
Output is low after the device has been configured by
USB, then high during USB suspend mode. This output can
be used to control power to external logic P-Channel logic
level MOSFET switch. Enable the interface pull-down
option when using the PWREN# in this way.*
Transmit data LED drive – pulses low when transmitting
data via USB. See Section 7.5 for more details.
Receive data LED drive – pulses low when receiving data
via USB. See Section 7.5 for more details.
LED drive – pulses low when transmitting or receiving data
via USB. See Section 7.5 for more details.
Goes low during USB suspend mode. Typically used to
power down an external TTL to RS232 level converter IC
in USB to RS232 converter designs.
48MHz Clock output.**
24 MHz Clock output.**
12 MHz Clock output.**
6 MHz Clock output.**
CBUS bit bang mode option. Allows up to 4 of the CBUS
pins to be used as general purpose I/O. Configured
individually for CBUS0, CBUS1, CBUS2 and CBUS3 in the
internal EEPROM. A separate application note, AN232R-01,
available from FTDI website (www.ftdichip.com) describes
in more detail how to use CBUS bit bang mode.
