Re: FT245R transfer rates

[Jan Wilmans <janwilmans@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, I understand, but to actually be able to receive 9 full buffers, the hardware reading from the FT245 must

read the data faster (or at least as fast) then it is arriving over USB, otherwise the buffer will be full and no more data can be received.

My assumption was, and I see how I was wrong about that now, that the hardware would never be reading that fast. And so I assumed that there 

could never arrive more then one buffersize of data per millisecond.

Thanks, for the links.

Greetings,

Jan

To put it this way, the USB SIE is fast enough (up to 1216 bytes/ms),
if the FIFO engine is fast enough, then it can transmit and receive
what the USB SIE is capable of.

In reality the data rate is lower due to some overhead and some
internal latency of the chip. The driver plays a big part as well.
