EEPROM WRITE UTILITY
The DLP-USB245M has the option to accept manufacturer-specific information that is written into the 93C46
EEPROM. Parameters that can be programmed include the VID and the PID identifiers, the manufacturer’s product
string and a serial number.
FTD2XXST is the latest EEPROM serializer and testing utility for the FT245BM device. It replaces the VCP based
232Prog utility. FTD2XXST is based on the new D2XX drivers and will work on Win ‘98, Win ME and Win 2000/
XP platforms. You must install the latest release of the D2XX drivers in order to run this application. Refer to the
SER200.PDF guide that is included in the EEPROM Write Utility’s download zip file for details on how to use the
serializer.
If you have VCP drivers installed on the PC that is to perform the EEPROM write process you must uninstall these
drivers using the uninstaller program (included with the driver files) and install the D2XX drivers prior to running the
serializer utility.
