XR21B1424_17 Datasheet, PDF (12/64 Pages) Exar Corporation – Enhanced 4-Ch Full-Speed USB UART

XR21B1424
Character Format
Both CDC and custom drivers use the CDC command SET_LINE_CODING to set the character data size (5-9), parity (odd,
even, mark, space, none), and stop bits (1 or 2 for 6-9 bit characters, 1 1/2 or 2 for 5 bit characters). A parity bit is not
allowed when selecting 9 bit data.
USB Power Modes
The XR21B1424 device may be configured in any of the following power modes: bus-powered, self-powered 5V, or self-
powered 3.3V. In all three modes, the VBUS power signal from the USB host must be connected to the VBUS_SENSE pin
of the device.
The default power mode for the XR21B1424 is bus powered. In this mode, the USB device’s maximum power requirement
from the host must be specified. In this context, the USB device includes all components on the PCB that will draw power
from the USB host VBUS power. The default maximum power for the XR21B1424 is 100mA. This may be changed using
the Attributes field in the OTP.
Bus-Powered
In bus-powered mode, VBUS from the USB cable supplies 5V to the XR21B1424 device. The VCC pin will supply a 3.3V
output. The VIO pins may be externally connected to VCC or to an alternate voltage source.

Self-Powered 5V
In self-powered 5V mode, a local source provides 5V to the XR21B1424 device. The USB attributes should be changed in
the OTP to correctly report self-powered mode. The VCC pin will supply a 3.3V output. VIO pins may be externally con-
nected to VCC or to an alternate voltage source.
