This is a nifty feature as it allows more then the typical 500mA to be drawn through the USB connection. “Battery Charge Detection” (BCD) allows the FT230X to use dedicated charges. The interesting settings that can be changed are under “Hardware Specific”.

You can also change the serial number of the device if you need to keep track of devices. Changing these will change how the computer names the FT230X when it is connected to a computer. The “USB String Descriptors” allow changing the manufacture and product description. The Pull Down IO Pins in USB Suspend is useful to prevent other devices from being powered via the FT230X when in USB suspend. The USB 2.0 standard allows 500mA as the max through normal enumeration. Setting the FT230X to Bus Powered will tell the FT230X to request the Max Bus Power from the computer when it enumerates. The “USB Config Descriptor” settings refer to the power settings for the device. Most users will keep this at the FTDI Default as FTDI allows end users of there devices to use FTDI’s VID and PID. Under “USB Device Descriptor” the Vendor ID and Product ID of the FT230X can be changed if you have a custom VID and PID. Nothing can be changed under “Chip Details”. FT-Prog will then scan your computer for any FTDI devices attached to the computer. In the FT-Prog window click the “Scan and Parse” icon.

Opening “Devices and Printers” will show if the FT230X drivers and device where installed correctly. FTDI also has an appnote for the FT-Prog software.Īfter connecting the USB cable to your device and computer the drivers should install. of the datasheet has the CBUS signal options listed and what they do. I will be referencing the FT230X chip functions that are configurable. It is advisable to have the FT230X datasheet open while doing the walkthrough. To program the FT230X (and other FTDI devices) the part needs to be powered up and connected with a USB cable to a computer.īefore trying to connect an FT230X to a computer make sure to snag the VCP drivers and install.

FT-Prog can configure the FT230X and add more functionality to the FT230X. FT-Prog is a utility to program the EEPROM on FTDI devices. I mentioned FT-Prog in my last blog post.
