Product Overview

The C232HM-DDHSL-0/C232HM-EDHSL-0 is a USB 2.0 high speed to MPSSE cable. This cable contains a small internal electronic circuit board, utilising the FT232H, which is encapsulated into the USB connector end of the cable, this handles all the USB signalling and protocols. The FT232H is a single channel USB 2.0 high speed (480Mb/s) to UART/FIFO IC. It can be configured in a variety of industry standard serial or parallel interfaces, such as MPSSE - JTAG, SPI, I2C. 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 which use synchronous protocols (such as JTAG, SPI or I2C) in an efficient manner. The cable is terminated by ten individual wires with single pole connectors which can be interfaced to a male header. Cable signals are compliant with CMOS logic at 3.3V. The cable is 0.5m long and supports a data transfer up to 30Mbps in MPSSE mode.

The C232HM-DDHSL-0/C232HM-EDHSL-0, USB to MPSSE cable, is capable providing a USB to SPI, I2C or JTAG interface, is CE, FCC and UKCA approved.

USB to MPSSE cable with +3.3V digital level signals. Maximum output of 200mA @ 3.3VDC on VCC

This is accomplished by the MPSSE within the FT232H device which has the ability to emulate synchronous serial protocols while handling all the USB signalling and protocols.

To expedite application development, FTDI has provided libraries which handle the MPSSE commands to emulate several protocols.

NOTE: use of the MPSSE libraries requires that FTDI’s D2XX drivers are installed.

The USB 2.0 Hi-Speed to MPSSE cable contains a small internal electronic circuit board, utilising the FTDI FT232H, which is encapsulated into the USB connector end of the cable, this handles all the USB signalling and protocols. The cable provides a fast, simple way to connect devices with 3.3 Volt digital interfaces to USB. For full details of the IC, consult the FT232H datasheet, this is available from 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 which use synchronous protocols (such as JTAG, SPI or I 2C) in an efficient manner. Full details are available in the MPSSE application note - AN_108. The cable is terminated by ten individual wires with single pole connectors which can be interfaced to a male header. Cable 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 variety of industry standard serial or parallel interfaces, such as MPSSE - JTAG, SPI, I2C. The C232HM MPSSE cable is easily configured into each interface e.g. JTAG, SPI, I2C via the application software. The cable is powered from a USB host port and is USB 2.0 Hi-Speed compatible. The cable is 0.5m long and supports a data transfer up to 30Mbps in MPSSE mode.
