3.5.5 FT232H pins used in an MPSSE
The FT232H has a Multi-Protocol Synchronous Serial Engine (MPSSE). This mode is enabled by sending a
software command (FT_SetBitMode) to the FTDI D2xx driver. The MPSSE can be configured to a number
of industry standard serial interface protocols such as JTAG, I
implement a proprietary bus protocol. For example, it is possible to connect FT232H‟s to an SRAM
configurable FPGA such as supplied by Altera or Xilinx. The FPGA device would normally not be configured
(i.e. have no defined function) at power-up. Application software on the PC could use the MPSSE (and
D2XX driver) to download configuration data to the FPGA over USB. This data would define the hardware
function on power up. The MPSSE can be used to control a number of GPIO pins. When configured in this
mode, the pins used and the descriptions of the signals are shown in Table 3.10
