This device handles all the USB signalling and protocols. The module provides a fast, simple way to connect devices with 3.3 Volt digital interface to USB. For full details of the IC, consult the FT232H datasheet, DS FT232H. The integrated FT232H device incorporates a command processor called the Multi-Protocol Synchronous Serial Engine (MPSSE). The purpose of the MPSSE command processor is to communicate with devices 2 which use synchronous protocols (such as JTAG, SPI or I C) in an efficient manner. Full details are available in the MPSSE application note - AN 108. The module is terminated by ten female pin headers which can be interfaced to a male header. Pin signals are compliant with CMOS logic at 3.3 volts. The FT232H is a single channel USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mb/s) to UART/FIFO IC. It can be configured in a 2 variety of industry standard serial or parallel interfaces at up to 30Mbps, such as MPSSE - JTAG, SPI, I C. The VA800A-SPI MPSSE module is configured for SPI only. The 10 pin connector fits to the VM800B and VM800C graphic display modules directly. The module is powered from a USB host port and is USB2.0 Hi-Speed compatible. The VA800A-SPI MPSSE module requires USB device drivers, available free from
