The FT2232H Mini Module is a USB-to-serial/FIFO development module in the FTDI product range which
utilizes the FT2232H USB Hi-Speed two-port bridge chip which handles all the USB signalling and
protocols. It is ideal for development purposes to quickly prove functionality of adding USB to a target
design. The FT2232H datasheet, DS_FT2232H, is available at http://www.ftdichip.com,

The FT2232H on the Mini Module is FTDI’s 5th generation of USB devices. The FT2232H is a USB 2.0 High
Speed (480Mb/s) to UART/MPSSE IC. The device features two interfaces that can be configured for
asynchronous or synchronous serial or parallel FIFO interfaces. The two channels can also be
independently configured to use an MPSSE engine. This allows the two ports of the FT2232H to operate
independently as UART/Bit-Bang ports or MPSSE engines used to emulate JTAG, SPI, I
other synchronous serial modes. All components used, including the FT2232H are Pb-free (RoHS
compliant).
The FT2232H Mini Module connects the signals of the FT2232H IC to two 26-pin dual-row headers which
allow easy connection PCB header sockets and ribbon cables.
The FT2232H Mini Module requires USB device drivers, available free from http://www.ftdichip.com,
which are used to make the FT2232H on the Mini Module appear as a two virtual COM ports (VCP). This
then allows the user to communicate with the USB interface via a standard PC serial emulation port
(TTY). Another FTDI USB driver, the D2XX driver, can also be used with application software to directly
access the FT2232H on the Mini Module though a DLL. This is illustrated in the Figure 1.2

Device Drivers for the FT2232H Mini Module are available free from http://www.ftdichip.com.
