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
Clock signal to EEPROM. Tri-State during device reset, else drives out. Adding a
1
EESK
Output
10K pull down resistor onto EESK will cause the FT232B 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
2
EEDATA
I/O
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. **Note 1

SLEEP#
Output
Goes Low during USB Suspend Mode. Typically used to power-down an external
TTL to RS232 level converter IC in USB RS232 converter designs
Goes Low after the device is configured via USB, then high during USB suspend.
15
PWREN#
Output
Can be used to control power to external logic using a P-Channel Logic Level
MOSFET switch. Enable the Interface Pull-Down Option in EEPROM when using the
PWREN# pin in this way.
14
PWRCTL
Input Bus Powered – Tie Low / Self Powered – Tie High (to VCCIO)
