Figure 5.5 – USB Self Powered 3.3V Logic Drive
The FT240X can be powered from a single 3.3V supply. This feature is an alternative to having the
FT240X powered at 5V in standard self-powered configuration.
The 3.3V Self Powered configuration is illustrated in Figure 5.5. Note that the 3.3V input is connected to
VCC, VCCIO and 3V3OUT. (Note that Figure 5.5 is for illustration only and that the pins do not actually go
all the way through the PCB)
5.7 Configuring the MTP ROM
The FT240X contains an embedded MTP ROM. This device can be used to specify the functions used by
each CBUS pin, the current drive on each signal pin, current limit for the USB bus and the other
descriptors of the device. For details on using the MTP ROM/EEPROM programming utility FT_PROG,
please see the FT_PROG User Guide.
When programming the MTP ROM please note:
i) One of the CBUS Pins can be configured as PWREN# in the internal MTP ROM. This can be used to
switch the power supply to the external circuitry.
ii) The Max Bus Power setting of the MTP ROM should specify the maximum current to be drawn from
the USB host/hub when enumerated. For high-powered USB devices the current limit when
enumerated is between 100mA and 500mA, for low-powered USB devices the current limit is
100mA.
