4-CH FULL-SPEED USB UART

1.2.1

EEPROM Contents

The I2C address should be 0xA0. An EEPROM can be used to override default Vendor IDs and Device IDs, as

well as other attributes and maximum power consumption. The EEPROM must contain 8 bytes of data as

specified in Table 2

0

Vendor ID (LSB)

1

Vendor ID (MSB)

2

Product ID (LSB)

3

Product ID (MSB)

4

Device Attributes

5

Device Maximum Power

6

Reserved

7

Signature of 0x58 (’X’). If the signature is not correct, the contents of the EEPROM are ignored.

These values are uploaded from the EEPROM to the corresponding USB Standard Device Descriptor or

Standard Configuration Descriptor. For details of the USB Descriptors, refer to the USB 2.0 specifications.

1.2.1.1

Vendor ID

The Vendor ID value replaces the idVendor field in the USB Standard Device Descriptor.

1.2.1.2

Product ID

The Product ID value replaces the idProduct field in the USB Standard Device Descriptor.

1.2.1.3

Device Attributes

The Device Attributes value replaces the bmAttributes field in the USB Standard Configuration Descriptor.

1.2.1.4

Device Maximum Power

The Device Maximum Power value replaces the bMaxPower field in the USB Standard Configuration

Descriptor.

1.3

UART Manager

The UART Manager enables/disables each UART including the TX and RX FIFOs for each UART. The UART

Manager is located in a separate register block from the 4 UART channels.

1.4

UART

There are 4 enhanced UART channels in the V1414. Each UART channel is independent, therefore, they will

need to be initialized and configured independently. Each UART can be configured via USB control transfers

from the USB host.

1.4.1

Transmitter

The transmitter consists of a 128-byte TX FIFO and a Transmit Shift Register (TSR). Once a bulk-out packet

has been received and the CRC has been validated, the data bytes in that packet are written into the TX FIFO

of the specified UART channel. Data from the TX FIFO is transferred to the TSR when the TSR is idle or has

completed sending the previous data byte. The TSR shifts the data out onto the TX output pin at the data rate

defined by the CLOCK_DIVISOR and TX_CLOCK_MASK registers. The transmitter sends the start bit

followed by the data bits (starting with the LSB), inserts the proper parity-bit if enabled, and adds the stop-

bit(s). The transmitter can be configured for 7 or 8 data bits with parity or 9 data bits with no parity.
