Overview

The TIAO USB Multi Protocol Adapter Lite (TUMPA Lite) is a multi-functional USB communication adapter for hobbyists or engineers. The adapter is based on FDTI's flagship communication chip FT232H, a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mb/s) to UART/FIFO IC. It has one multi-protocol synchronous serial engines (MPSSEs) which allow for communication using JTAG, I2C and SPI on two channels simultaneously.

Connector Pinout & LEDs

RX: Indicates FT232H is receiving bytes from target via serial communication channel. See 2x3 standard 6 PIN 2.54mm IDC for RX/TX LED on how to enable this.
TX: Indicates FT232H is transmitting bytes to target via serial communication channel. See 2x3 standard 6 PIN 2.54mm IDC for RX/TX LED on how to enable this.
PWR: Indicates the TUMPA Lite board is connected to USB port of the computer and FT232H's onboard voltage regulator outputs +3.3V.
V3.3 Out: Indicates the TUMPA Lite's onboard voltage LDO outputs +3.3V.

RX TX LED Config Header

This jumper header enables LED output on RX and TX. With FT232H's default configuration, AC8 is the RX led output pin, AC9 is the TX led output pin. Install a jumper on pin 1 and 3 enables RX LED. Install a jumper on pin 2 and 4 enables TX LED. If AC8 and AC9 are configured for GPIO, you need to remove jumpers on this header.

RS232 Level 2.54mm IDC Header

This connector is enabled only if RS232/TTL jumpers are on RS232-OUT, see Serial RS232/TTL level Selection Jumper

For your convenience, we added this header. This header is inter connected to the DB9 connector. The pinout is different then the pinout of DB 9 connector, however the extra pin (PIN 10) is connected to on board 3.3V power. GND pin (PIN 9) and +3.3V PIN (PIN 10) are always enabled regardless the jumpers position of Serial RS232/TTL level Selection Jumper.

This is the pinout of the RS232 level 2.54mm IDC header:

MAX3243 Auto Power Down Jumper

This jumper controls whether to always enable MAX3243 or let FT2232H automatically enables it (save power).

Jumper on PIN 1 and PIN 2: Always enable MAX3243
Jumper on PIN 2 and PIN 3: FT2232H (PWREN, PIN 60)controls when to enable or disable MAX3243.

Buffer Enable Jumper

This jumper controls whether to software enable/disable buffer chip (74LVC16T254).

Jumper on PIN 1 and PIN 2: Enable (Low)/Disable (High) 74LVC16T245 via FT2232H's ACBUS3 (PIN 29).
Jumper on PIN 2 and PIN 3: Always enable 74LVC16T245

Buffer Chip Power Selection Jumper

This jumper controls how to power the buffer / voltage translator chip (74LVC16T245)

The 74LVC16T245's Vcc(A) is connected to on board +3.3V. You can either power the Vcc(B) using on board +3.3V or powered by the target board. If powered by target board, please make sure the target board's power is in the range of +1.8V - +5.5V.

Jumper on PIN 1 and PIN 2: Power the buffer chip 74LVC16T245's Vcc(B) via the on board +3.3V source.
Jumper on PIN 2 and PIN 3: Power the buffer chio 74LVC16T245's Vcc(B) by target board. (PIN 3 of this header is connected to JTAG header's PIN 1)

Serial RS232/TTL level Selection Jumper

These jumpers allows you to have serial communication at either RS232 level or TTL level.

Jumpers short top row (RS232-OUT) and middle row (SELECT) (this is the default): enable RS232 level serial output. (thus DB9 Connector and RS232 Level 2.54mm IDC Header are enabled)
Jumpers short middle row (SELECT)and bottom row (TTL-OUT): enable TTL level serial output. (thus TTL Level Serial Connectoris enabled)

PWR/RX/TX LEDs

PWR: indicates the TUMPA board is connected to USB port of the computer and on board voltage regulator outputs +3.3V.
RX: Indicates FT2232H is receiving bytes from target via serial communication channel B
TX: Indicates FT2232H is transmitting bytes to target via serial communication channel B

Target Board Power LED

LED is ON: Target board (PIN 1 of JTAG Header) has power supply > 3.3V.
LED is OFF: Target board (PIN 1 of JTAG Header) has power supply < 3.3V or no power.

The VTAR can also be detected by software. If VTAR has voltage > 3.3V, ACBUS4 (PIN 30) of FT2232H will be LOW. Otherwise it will be HIGH.
