5 Peripheral Interfaces

In addition to the USB Host, FT311D contains the following peripheral interfaces:



General Purpose Input Output (GPIO)



Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART)



Four Pulse Width Modulation blocks (PWM)





Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Slave



Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) Master

Note: Only one interface may be selected at any time.

The modes are selected by setting the CNFGx pins.

The following sections describe each peripheral in detail.

5.1 General Purpose Input Output

FT311D provides up to 7 configurable Input/Output pins. All pins are independently configurable to be

either inputs or outputs.

5.2 UART Interface

When the peripheral interface is configured in UART mode, the interface implements a standard

asynchronous serial UART port with flow control, for example RS232/422/485. The UART can support

baud rates from 300 baud to 6 Mbaud.

Data transfer uses NRZ (Non-Return to Zero) data format consisting of 1 start bit, 7 or 8 data bits, an

optional parity bit, and one or two stop bits. When transmitting the data bits, the least significant bit is

transmitted first. Transmit and receive waveforms are illustrated in Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2:

Figure 5-2 UART Transmit Waveform

Baud rate (default =9600 baud), flow control settings (default = RTS/CTS), number of data bits

(default=8), parity (default is no parity) and number of stop bits (default=1) are all configurable from the

Android application. Please refer to

uart_tx_active is transmit enable, this output may be used in RS485 designs to control the transmit of

the line driver.
