RTS/CTS Flow Control Thersholds
« on: April 14, 2018, 02:12:08 PM »

Hello,

there is little information on the RTS/CTS hardware flow control behaviour in the datasheets, e.g. for FT230X.

* At which buffer fill level will RTS be negated, when will it be asserted agian? How quickly has the sender to stop sending/how many bytes can still be sent without loss, even if RTS was negated?
* How many bytes should I expect to receive in a MCU from e.g. FT230X when the converter's CTS line is deasserted, i.e. when should the MCU negate its RTS line to stop the serial converter in time.

Thanks!

Hello,

Please see the following links which should help:
