I C Interface
JTAG Interface
FX3’s I2C interface is compatible with the I2C Bus Specification
Revision 3. This I2C interface is capable of operating only as I2C
master; therefore, it may be used to communicate with other I2C
slave devices. For example, FX3 may boot from an EEPROM
connected to the I2C interface, as a selectable boot option.
FX3’s I2C Master Controller also supports multi-master mode
functionality.
The power supply for the I2C interface is VIO5, which is a
separate power domain from the other serial peripherals. This
gives the I2C interface the flexibility to operate at a different
voltage than the other serial interfaces.
The I2C controller supports bus frequencies of 100 kHz,
400 kHz, and 1 MHz. When VIO5 is 1.2 V, the maximum
operating frequency supported is 100 kHz. When VIO5 is 1.8 V,
2.5 V, or 3.3 V, the operating frequencies supported are 400 kHz
and 1 MHz. The I2C controller supports the clock-stretching
feature to enable slower devices to exercise flow control.
FX3’s JTAG interface has a standard five-pin interface to connect
to a JTAG debugger in order to debug firmware through the
CPU-core's on-chip-debug circuitry.
Industry-standard debugging tools for the ARM926EJ-S core
can be used for the FX3 application development.
Other Interfaces
FX3 supports the following serial peripherals:
■ UART
■ I2C
■ I2S
■ SPI
The SPI, UART, and I2S interfaces are multiplexed on the serial
peripheral port.
The I2C interface’s SCL and SDA signals require external pull-up
resistors. The pull-up resistors must be connected to VIO5.
The CYUSB3012 and CYUSB3014 Pin List (GPIF II with 32-bit
Data Bus Width) on page 13 shows details of how these inter-
faces are multiplexed. Note that when GPIF II is configured for a
32-bit data bus width (CYUSB3012 and CYUSB3014), only the
UART interface is available on GPIO[53] to GPIO[56].

I S Interface
FX3 has an I2S port to support external audio codec devices.
FX3 functions as I2S Master as transmitter only. The I2S interface
consists of four signals: clock line (I2S_CLK), serial data line
(I2S_SD), word select line (I2S_WS), and master system clock
(I2S_MCLK). FX3 can generate the system clock as an output
on I2S_MCLK or accept an external system clock input on
I2S_MCLK.
UART Interface
The UART interface of FX3 supports full-duplex communication.
It includes the signals noted in Table 1.
Table 1. UART Interface Signals
The sampling frequencies supported by the I2S interface are
32 kHz, 44.1 kHz, and 48 kHz.

FX3 supports an SPI Master interface on the Serial Peripherals
port. The maximum operation frequency is 33 MHz.
The SPI controller supports four modes of SPI communication

The UART is capable of generating a range of baud rates, from
300 bps to 4608 Kbps, selectable by the firmware. If flow control
is enabled, then FX3's UART only transmits data when the CTS
input is asserted. In addition to this, FX3's UART asserts the RTS
output signal, when it is ready to receive data.

a
single-master controller with a single automated SSN control. It
supports transaction sizes ranging from 4 bits to 32 bits.
