Das USB-zu-I2C-2-Click-Board™ ist eine kompakte Zusatzplatine, die eine universelle USB-zu-I2C-Seriellschnittstelle enthält. Diese Platine verfügt über den FT201X, einen Full-Speed-USB-zu-I2C-Protokollkonverter von FTDI. Der FT201X wandelt USB 2.0 Full-Speed in eine I2C-Seriellschnittstelle um, die mit bis zu 3,4 MBit/s betrieben werden kann und einen geringen Stromverbrauch (typischerweise 8 mA) aufweist. Das gesamte USB-Protokoll wird auf dem Chip selbst verarbeitet, sodass keine USB-spezifische Firmware-Programmierung erforderlich ist. Es verfügt außerdem über einen vollständig integrierten 2048-Byte-MTP-Speicher (Multi-Time-Programmable) zum Speichern von Gerätedeskriptoren und der vom Benutzer gewünschten CBUS-E/A-Konfiguration. Dieses Click-Board™ umfasst den vollständigen Funktionssatz der FT-X-Serie und ermöglicht die schnelle und einfache Integration von USB in ein Systemdesign über eine I2C-Schnittstelle.
Das USB-auf-I2C-2-Click-Board™ wird von einer mikroSDK-kompatiblen Bibliothek unterstützt, die Funktionen enthält, die die Softwareentwicklung vereinfachen. Dieses Click-Board™ wird als vollständig getestetes Produkt geliefert und ist bereit für den Einsatz auf einem System, das mit der mikroBUS™-Buchse ausgestattet ist.
How Does The USB to I2C 2 Click Board™ Work?
The USB to I2C 2 Click Board™ is based on the FT201X, a USB to I2C interface device which simplifies USB implementations from FTDI. The FT201X is USB 2.0 full-speed compatible and handles the entire USB protocol by itself; no USB-specific firmware programming is required. It fully integrates 2048 byte Multi-Time-Programmable (MTP) memory for storing device descriptors and CBUS I/O user-desirable configuration and clock generation with no external crystal required plus optional clock output selection enabling a glue-less interface to external MCU or FPGA.
The USB to I2C 2 Click Board™ communicates with MCU using the standard I2C 2-Wire interface to read data and configure settings, supporting Standard Mode operation with a clock frequency of 100kHz and Fast Mode up to 400kHz. Since the FT201X for operation requires a 5V only, this Click board™ also features the PCA9306 voltage-level translator from Texas Instruments. The I2C interface bus lines are routed to the dual bidirectional voltage-level translator, allowing this Click board™ to work with both 3.3V and 5V MCUs properly.
The FT201X also contains an embedded fully integrated MTP memory used to specify the functionality of the Control Bus (CBUS) pins, the current drive on each signal pin, the current limit for the USB bus, and the descriptors of the device. There are six configurable CBUS I/O pins, two of which are routed on AN and INT pins of the mikroBUS™ socket, marked as CB0 and CB1, alongside the two blue LED indicators labelled as CBUS0 and CBUS1 used for optional user-configurable visual indication.
The other four CBUS pins can be found on the onboard CBUS header, and be used as user-configurable CBUS signals. A wide range and the way of using these pins can be found in the attached datasheet. This board also uses an active-low reset signal routed on the RST pin of the mikroBUS™ socket, which provides a reliable Power-On reset to the device's internal circuitry at Power-Up.
The USB to I2C 2 Click Board™ can operate with both 3.3V and 5V logic voltage levels selected via the VCC SEL jumper. This way, it is allowed for both 3.3V and 5V capable MCUs to use the communication lines properly. However, the Click board™ comes equipped with a library that contains easy-to-use functions and an example code that can be used, as a reference, for further development.
