FT260 HID-CLASS USB TO UART/I2C BRIDGE IC

Version 1.0

Doc ument N o.: FT _001272 C learance N o.: FT DI#484

User Configuration

The FT260 provides two storage paths for customization. One is eFUSE which is embedded in the FT260;

another is the executable path to an external EEPROM. Parameters are defined for the customization and

are categorized into several groups. The groups are USB-related, GPIO function selection, pin feature

settings, UART settings and HID-over-I2C.

Embedded eFUSE provides a cost-effective customization. Without external devices, the FT260 can have

customised VID/PID for USB, driving strength for digital pins, GPIOA, GPIOG, GPIO2 configurations and

HID-over-I2C basic settings.

For customization demand, an EEPROM is required in the application. With this external EEPROM, more

parameters are defined for customization. In this storage area, parameters in eFUSE are all included.

USB string descriptor, pins status when USB suspending, and detailed pin configurations are included in

EERPOM. Details can refer to Section 9.2.2.

There is already a default value for each parameter in the design of the FT260. When the parameters in

eFUSE are programmed and enabled, the parameters in eFUSE will be loaded when the FT260 is powered

up or reset.

Both eFUSE and EEPROM for the FT260 can be programmed over USB. This method is the same as for

the MTP on other FTDI devices such as the FT-X series. Please note that in order to program eFUSE, the

FT260 requires an additional programming voltage (3.8V) on its FSOURCE pin. The programming board,

UMFTPD3A, supplies an easy connection bridge between the FT260 and a USB host for supplying the

power source, for timing control of eFUSE, and for communicating with the programming utility FT_Prog.

Further details may be found in the UMFTPD3A datasheet.

The FT_Prog utility is provided free-of-charge from the FTDI website, and can be found at the link below.

The user guide is also available at this link.

9.1

Programming the embedded eFUSE over USB

The eFUSE in the FT260 can be programmed over USB. This method is the same as for the MTP on other

FTDI devices such as the FT-X series. Note that in order to program eFUSE, the FT260 requires an

additional programming voltage (3.8V) on FSOURCE (pin-25 @ QFN28). The programming board,

UMFTPD3A, can supply an easy connection bridge between the FT260 and a USB host for supplying the

power source to FSOURCE and for communicating with the programming utility FT_Prog.

9.1.1 Default Values

The parameters defined in eFUSE are shown in Table 9.1. Default values are defined in the hardware

design of the FT260. If the parameters defined in eFUSE are enabled, the settings in eFUSE will replace

the default value.
