DEVICE CONFIGURATION
The device supports a large number of features (some mutually exclusive), and must be configured in order to correctly
function when attached to a USB host controller. The hub can be configured either internally or externally depending on
the implemented interface.
Microchip provides a comprehensive software programming tool, Pro-Touch, for configuring the USB5744 functions,
registers and OTP memory. All configuration is to be performed via the Pro-Touch programming tool. For additional infor-
mation on the Pro-Touch programming tool, refer to the Software Libraries within the Microchip USB5744 product page
