UART Interface
The FT4232H channel A, ADBUS I/O, pins are used for UART operation with the VNC2. The UART inputs
to the FT4232H are supplied directly from the VNC2 device pins, while the UART outputs from the
FT4232H, are passed to an external multiplexer. The multiplexer allows the UART interface to the VNC2
to be driven by either by the FT4232H device or by an external UART device, which is connected to the
V2-EVAL board via the various board I/O header pins. The multiplexer select pin is controlled by pin
DDBUS0 on the FT4232H, where a logic „0‟ on the select pin will force the FT4232H device to drive the
UART interface on the VNC2, while a logic „1‟ will allow IOBUS21 and IOBUS23 header pins on the board
to drive the UART.
