Description
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
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
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.
