7.4 USB Battery Charging Detection
A recent addition to the USB specification (http://www.usb.org/developers/devclass_docs/BCv1.2_011912.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 FT231X 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.
To use the FT231X with battery charging detection the CBUS pins must be reprogrammed to allow for the
BCD Charger output to switch the external charger circuitry on. The CBUS pins are configured in the
internal MTP memory with the free utility FTPROG. If the charging circuitry requires an active low signal
to enable it, the CBUS pin can be programmed to BCD Charger# as an alternative.
When connected to a USB compliant dedicated charging port (DCP, as opposed to a standard USB host)
the device USB signals will be shorted together and the device suspended. The BCD charger signal will
bring the LTC4053 out of suspend and allow battery charging to start. The charge current in the example
below is 1A as defined by the resistance on the PROG pin.

Alternatively the PWREN# And SLEEP pins may be used to control the LTC4053 such that a battery may
be charged from a standard host (low current) or from a dedicated charging port (high current). In such
a design as shown below the charge current would need to be limited to 0.4A to ensure that the USB host
power limit is not exceeded.
