Overview

The TIAO USB Multi Protocol Adapter (TUMPA) is a multi-functional USB communication adapter for hobbyists or engineers. The adapter is based on FDTI's flagship communication chip FT2232H, a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed (480Mb/s) to UART/FIFO IC. It has two multi-protocol synchronous serial engines (MPSSEs) which allow for communication using JTAG, I2C and SPI on two channels simultaneously.

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 exactly same as 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.

MAX3243 Auto Power Down Jumber

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)

TTL Level Serial Connector

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

Pin #	Description
1	Tx
2	Rx
3	RTS

7	DCD
8	RI
9	+3.3V
10	+5V (USB Power)
11, 12	GND

The power pins (9, 10, 11 and 12) are always connected, regardless of the jumper positions of Serial RS232/TTL level Selection Jumper.

SPI Connector 2

Pin #	Description
1	MISO
2	Vcc (connected to on board 3.3V)
3	SCK
4	MOSI
5	CS
6	GND

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.
