FT4233HPQ High-Speed USB Bridge with Type-C/PD3.0 Controller

FTDI's USB bridge delivers four independent channels and fully supports USB Type-C® and power delivery (PD)

Image of FTDI's FT4233 USB BridgeFTDI's FT4233HP is a high-speed USB device with a controller IC that fully supports the USB Type-C and PD standards, enabling support for power negotiation with the ability to sink or source current to a USB host device. The USB bridge function delivers four independent channels that are compatible with the FT4232H quad high-speed USB to multipurpose UART/MPSSE solution.

Features
  • Supports the PD specification Rev 3.0
  • Port 1 mode configuration for sink or dual-role
  • Port 2 works as a sink supporting charge through to port 1
  • Support 5 V, 3 A; 9 V, 3 A; 12 V, 3 A; 15 V, 3 A; and 20 V, 3 A PDOs as a sink or source
  • Type-C/PD physical layer protocol
  • PD policy engine using a 32-bit RISC controller with 8 kB data RAM and 48 kB code ROM
  • PD mode configuration through external EEPROM
  • Options to use an external MCU controlling PD policy through the I2C interface
  • USB to quad serial ports with a variety of configurations
  • Entire USB protocol handled on the chip (no USB specific firmware programming required)
  • USB 2.0 high-speed (480 Mb/s) and full-speed (12 Mb/s) compatible
  • Two multi-protocol synchronous serial engines (MPSSE) on channel A and channel B:
    • Simplify synchronous serial protocol (USB to JTAG, I2C, SPI, or bit-bang) design
  • Independent Baud rate generators
  • RS232/RS422/RS485 UART transfer data rate up to 12M baud (RS232 data rate limited by an external level shifter)
  • FTDI’s royalty-free virtual com port (VCP) and direct (D2XX) drivers eliminate the requirement for USB driver development in most cases
Applications
  • USB bridge with Type-C/PD 3.0 (chargers and devices)
  • High power consumption via USB PD and/or Type-C port
  • Get power from USB device functions (portable USB host needs charging when the USB is connected)
  • Single-chip USB to four channels UART (RS232, RS422, or RS485) or bit-bang interfaces
  • Single-chip USB to two JTAG channels plus two UARTs
  • Single-chip USB to one JTAG channel plus three UARTs
  • Single-chip USB to one SPI channel plus three UARTs
  • Single-chip USB to two SPI channels plus two UARTs
  • Single-chip USB to two bit-bang channels plus two UARTs
  • Single-chip USB to one SPI channel, plus one JTAG channel plus two UARTs
  • Single-chip USB to two I2C channels plus two UARTs
  • Numerous combinations of four channels
  • Upgrading legacy peripheral designs to USB
  • Field upgradable USB products
  • Cellular and cordless phone USB data transfer cables and interfaces
