REV. 1.4.0
1-CH FULL-SPEED USB UART
1.0 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIONS
1.1 USB interface
The USB interface of the V1410 is compliant with the USB 2.0 Full-Speed Specifications. The USB
configuration model presented by the V1410 to the device driver is compatible to the Abstract Control Model of
the USB Communication Device Class (CDC-ACM). The V1410 uses the following set of parameters:
•
1 Control Endpoint
■
Endpoint 0 as outlined in the USB specifications
•
1 Configuration is supported
•
2 interfaces for the UART channel
■
Single interrupt endpoint
■
Bulk-in and bulk-out endpoints
1.1.1 USB Vendor ID
Exar’s USB Vendor ID is 0x04E2. This is the default Vendor ID that is used for the V1410 unless a valid
EEPROM is present on the I
2
C interface signals. If a valid EEPROM is present, the Vendor ID from the
EEPROM will be used.
1.1.2 USB Product ID
The default USB Product ID for the V1410 is 0x1410. If a valid EEPROM is present, the Product ID from the
EEPROM will be used. Note that Exar’s custom drivers for all Windows OS require that the Product ID be an
even number for the V1410 device for proper identification of the device.
1.2 USB Device Driver
The V1410 device can be used with either a standard CDC-ACM driver or a custom driver. When the CDC-
ACM driver is used, the driver has no capability to read or write the V1410 device registers. Because of this,
the V1410 device is initialized to the settings in Table 1. With a custom driver, all GPIOs default in hardware to
inputs but these settings may be modified by the custom driver.
Note also that when using a CDC-ACM driver, the V1410 will automatically change the bMaxPacketSize to 63
bytes to compensate for a known issue with the Microsoft CDC-ACM device driver. A register is available to
change this setting with a custom driver as well. See “Section 3.4.1, CUSTOM Register Description (Read/
Write)” on page 23. Although there is no ability to read / write registers when using the CDC-ACM driver,
basic UART functions, including setting baud rate, character format and sending line break are supported by
the CDC driver. Refer to the 4 CDC_ACM_IF USB Control Commands listed in Table 4, “Supported USB
Control Commands,” on page 12.
1.3 I
2
C Interface
The I
2
C interface provides connectivity to an external I
2
C memory device (i.e. EEPROM) that can be read by
the V1410 for configuration. If no external EEPROM is present, the SDA and SCL are used to specify remote
wakeup support and power mode as described in Table 2. These pins are sampled at power-up.
