USB Communication

[Altera_Forum]

Hello Frnds, 

 I want to communicate the cyclone IV GX with the PC For that i have selected USB will be the best for my application(data rate speed is not so important). Pls guide me how to interface USB Chip(Help me in selecting the chip) with Cyclone IV GX110.  Is PDIUSBD12 will support this device.  Regards Kiran

Look at http://www.ftdichip.com/products/ics/ft245r.htm  

  --- Quote Start ---  Single chip USB to parallel FIFO bidirectional data transfer interface.  Entire USB protocol handled on the chip - No USB-specific firmware programming required.  Simple interface to MCU / PLD / FPGA logic with simple 4-wire handshake interface.   --- Quote End ---

Thanks for your reply. 

 Does i require Serial EEPROM(93C46)chip or it can be ignored. Just all the Lines from FT245R is to be connected to Cyclone IV naa.

Maybe RESET. To Cyclone. Also you will need to programm this chip with FTDI utility.   It's simplest way to communicate with PC.

I think PDIUSBD12 is also similar to FT245R chip.. 

Since in my place FT chips are not available. I need to use Philips IC.  Just have a look at this link. http://www.lumit.org/download/document/pdiusbd12-08.pdf

I have made schematic Pls refer it. 

In that SUSPEND, DMRACK, DMREQ, EOT, GL_N pins where should i connect.

Pls suggest me how to connect remaining pins of PDIUSB to FPGA.

hi, im working with ft245, but i've had problems, i can send data to host, but my problem is the synchronization, TXE signal doesnt work very wall, do you have any example?? im working with vhdl
