#168167 - CTS latency
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Data drop around CTS timing will occur regardless of the size of the transfer.

FT232BM Designers Guide, Version 2.0
http://www.ftdichip.com/Documents...232_20.pdf

"When RTS/CTS hardware handshaking is enabled CTS# can be used to stop the FT232BM transmitting data to the MCU / external logic. When CTS# is active ( low ) the FT232BM will transmit any data in it’s internal buffers. On taking CTS# high, the FT232BM will stop transmitting data. Due to the asynchronous nature of the interface, there is a latency of 0 to 3 characters between taking CTS# high and data transmission stopping. The FT232BM drives RTS# high when the available buffer space inside the device drops below 32 bytes. This allows the MCU / logic to continue to send up to 30 characters to the FT232BM after RTS# goes high without causing buffer over-run."

I can't find similar document for current FT232R / FT2232H family on FTDI site.
But it's better to assume this behavior is still there.
