... EEPROM Interface Though the FT8U232AM will work without the optional EEPROM, an external 93C46 EEPROM can be used to customise the USB VID, PID, Serial Number and Strings of the FT8U232AM for OEM applications. The EEPROM is also required for applications where multiple FT8U232AM’s are connected to a single PC as the drivers rely on a unique serial number for each device to bind a unique virtual COM port to each individual device ...
