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, MPLAB Connect (formerly ProTouch2), for OTP con-

figuration of various USB4712 functions and registers. All configuration is to be performed via the MPLAB Connect Con-

figurator programming tool. For additional information on this tool, refer to the MPLAB Connect Configurator

programming tool product page at http://www.microchip.com/design-centers/usb/mplab-connect-configurator.

Note:

Device configuration straps and programmable pins are detailed in Section 3.3, "Configuration Straps and

Programmable Functions," on page 13.
