1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The DLP-2232MSP provides a cost-effective, microcontroller-based method of interfacing an
electronic peripheral to a host computer via USB.
To send data from the peripheral to the host computer, the microcontroller simply writes the
byte-wide data into the FT2232H when TXE# is low. If the FT2232H’s transmit buffer fills up or is busy
storing the previously written byte, it will take TXE# high in order to stop further data from being
written until some of the FIFO data has been transferred over USB to the host.
When the host sends data to the peripheral over USB, the FT2232H will take RXF# low to let the
microcontroller know that at least one byte of data is available. The microcontroller then reads the
data until RXF# goes high indicating that no more data is available to be read.
By using FTDI’s Virtual COM Port Drivers, the peripheral looks like a standard COM port to the
application software. Commands to set the baud rate are ignored--the FT2232H always transfers data
at its fastest rate regardless of the application’s baud-rate setting. The latest versions of the drivers
are available for download from DLP Design’s website at www.dlpdesign.com.
2.0 DRIVER SOFTWARE
FTDI's VCP (Virtual COM Port) driver-executable files are provided royalty free on the condition that
they are used only with designs incorporating an FTDI device (i.e. the FT2232H on the
DLP-2232MSP). The latest version of the drivers can be downloaded from www.dlpdesign.com or
www.ftdichip.com.
