EECS

I/O

EEPROM – Chip Select. For 48MHz operation pull EECS to GND using a 10K

resistor. For 6MHz operation no resistor is required. Tri-State during device reset.

**Note 1

1

EESK

OUT

Clock signal to EEPROM. Tri-State during device reset, else drives out. Adding

a 10K pull down resistor onto EESK will cause the FT232BL to use USB Product

ID 6004 (hex) instead of 6001 (hex). All of the other USB device descriptors are

unchanged.

**Note 1

2

EEDATA

I/O

EEPROM – Data I/O Connect directly to Data-In of the EEPROM and to Data-

Out of the EEPROM via a 2.2K resistor. Also, pull Data-Out of the EEPROM

to VCC via a 10K resistor for correct operation. Tri-State during device reset.
