Figure 7.4 USB to MCU UART Interface
An example of using the FT232R as a USB to Microcontroller
(MCU) UART interface is shown in Figure 7.4. In this application
the FT232R uses TXD and RXD for transmission and reception of
data, and RTS# / CTS# signals for hardware handshaking. Also
in this example CBUS0 has been configured as a 12MHz output to
clock the MCU. Optionally, RI# could be connected to another I/O
pin on the MCU and used to wake up the USB host controller from
suspend mode. If the MCU is handling power management functions,
then a CBUS pin can be configured as PWREN# and would also be
connected to an I/O pin of the MCU.

USB to Microcontroller parallel Interface Circuit
Figure 12 illustrates a typical interface between the FT245BM and
a MicroController ( MCU ). This examples uses two IO Ports of the
MCU, one port ( 8 bits ) to transfer data and the other port ( 4 / 5 bits )
to monitor the TXE# and RFE# status bits and generate the RD# and
WR strobes to the FT245BM as required. Optionally, SI / WU can be
Connected to another IO pin if this function is required. If the SI / WU
function is not required, tie this pin of the FT245M high. If the MCU is
handling power management functions, then PWREN# should also
be connected to an IO pin of the MCU. The 8 data bits of Port 1 can
be shared with other peripherals when the MCU is not accessing the
FT245BM.

INTRODUCTION
The RS-232 serial interface is no longer a common port
found on a personal computer (PC). This is a problem
because many embedded applications use the RS-232
interface to communicate with external systems, such as
PCs. A solution is to migrate the application to the
Universal Serial Bus (USB) interface. There are many
different ways to convert an RS-232 interface to USB,
each requiring different levels of expertise. The simplest
method is to emulate RS-232 over the USB bus. An
advantage of this method is the PC application will see
the USB connection as an RS-232 COM connection and
thus, require no changes to the existing software.
Another advantage is this method utilizes a Windows®
driver included with Microsoft® Windows® 98SE and
later versions, making driver development unnecessary.
The objectives of this application note are to explain
some background materials required for a better understanding
of the serial emulation over USB method and
to describe how to migrate an existing application to
USB. A device using the implementation discussed in
this document shall be referred to as a USB RS-232
emulated device. The author assumes that the reader
has some basic knowledge of the USB standard. All

PIC-USB-4550 PROTOTYPE BOARD FOR PIC18F4550
MICROCONTROLLER WITH USB
INTRODUCTION:
This is handly prototype board for development of USB
application with PIC18F4550 microcontroller. The great all about
it is that if you want only to load code to it i.e. to program it you
can do this without any additional programmer. Microchip provides
these free USB solutions for their microcontrollers which are
available for you to use off the shelf: USB HID Class firmware you
can build mouse or other Himan Interface Device for Windows,
USB CDC Communication class device, USB Mass Storage
firmware - add your own USB disk drives to your computer,
USB-to-RS232 driver. The planty of prototype space allow you easy
to add on sensors, relays and other peripherial devices to interface
to USB. The board can take power from USB or from External supply
with small jumper selection. RESET button, User button and LED
are on-board.

moreImplementation USB into microcontroller: IgorPlug-USB (AVR)
Purpose of this article is to inform readers about implementation
USB interface into singlechip microcontroller, which this interface
directly not supports. Simply: implementation USB interface on
firmware level (similar as emulation of RS232 interface in
microcontrollers, which not have RS232 support). This project
includes development of firmware on microcontroller side, driver
development on computer side (for Windows operating system) ,
development of DLL library for functions calling from another
programs (programmers level) and development of demo program
(users level), which shows all functions of this device. Device is
named IgorPlug-USB (AVR) (as successor of my previous device
for computer remote control IgorPlug - serial port version).
