ML630 Board User Guide
UG828 (v1.0) September 28, 2011
Chapter 1:
ML630 Board Features and Operation
The CP2103 supports an I/O voltage range of 2.5V on the ML630 board. The connections
between FPGA U1 and CP2103 should use the LVCMOS25 I/O standard. UART IP (for
example, Xilinx® XPS UART Lite) must be implemented in the FPGA logic. FPGA U1
supports the USB to UART bridge using four signal pins:
•
Transmit (TX)
•
Receive (RX)
•
Request to Send (RTS)
•
Clear to Send (CTS)
Connections of these signals between the FPGA and the CP2103 at U26 are listed in
Table 1-8
.
The bridge device also provides as many as four GPIO signals that can be defined by the
user for status and control information (see
Table 1-9
).
A royalty-free software driver named Virtual COM Port (VCP) is available from Silicon
Laboratories. This driver permits the CP2103 USB to UART bridge to appear as a COM
port to the host computer communications application software (for example,
HyperTerminal or TeraTerm). The VCP driver must be installed on the host computer prior
to establishing communications with the ML630 board.
