7.4 USB Battery Charging Detection

A recent addition to the USB specification (http://www.usb.org/developers/docs/devclass_docs/BCv1.2_070312.zip)

is to allow for additional charging profiles to be used for charging batteries in portable devices. These

charging profiles do not enumerate the USB port of the peripheral. The FT234XD device will detect that a

USB compliant dedicated charging port (DCP) is connected. Once detected while in suspend mode, a

battery charge detection signal is provided to allow external logic to switch to charging mode as opposed

to operation mode.

Figure 7.4 USB Battery Charging Detection

To use the FT234XD with battery charging detection the CBUS0 pin must be reprogrammed to allow for

the BCD Charger output to switch the external charger circuitry on. The CBUS0 pin is configured in the

internal MTP memory with the free utility FT_PROG. If the charging circuitry requires an active low signal

to enable it, the CBUS0 pin can be programmed to BCD Charger# as an alternative.
