I'm planning to use the FT232R in my USB device. The device consists of the FT232R and a dsPIC33EP64MC202 (Basically speaking, the FT232 and a microcontroller onlyonly).

On the FT232R's datasheet, at the end of page 26, section 6.4, it talks about another possible configuration, using an LDO voltage regulator, which would be supplied by the 5V of the USB bus. This LDO can be used to supply between +1.8V and +2.8V to the VCCIO pin and to the external logic.

enter image description here

So, I have some doubts:

  1. Why does the LDO regulator voltage needsneed to supply 1.8V to 2.8V  ? I made this question because we can connect the 3.3V pin to VCCIO either, and the 3.3V pin has 3.3V, no  ?
  2. I'm planning to make PWREN# and SLEEP# available to be used by my microcnotrolermicrocontroller to verify and decide when and how to enter in low power mode.There is Is there a problem in doing this  ?
  3. The voltage source that drivedrives the TX_LED and the RX_LED is the 5V from USB bus, and not the 3.3V from LDO, correct  ?

Here is another version. In the next picture, the VCCIO pin and the external voltage supply are supliedsupplied by the 3.3V pin from the FT232.

enter image description here

I'm not planning to make my microcontroller to follow the Low Power mode protocol, at least not for now. But, configured this way showed in the second image, the FT232 can interrupt the current to my microcontroller, am. Am I right  ?

What do you think about these schematics, I'm afraid to have some electrical mistake, because the device will need to be available on a server to be acessedaccessed by other people.

Any help would be very appreciated.
With my best regards.
Daniel.

 

From tips and alerts made by Maple, I made some corrections, I came to this solution: The Leds

The LEDs RX_LED ndand TX_LED are not necessary, so I took them out
