Incompatible FTDI device drivers

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS65400, USB2ANY

I'm trying to program two TPS65400 with USB2ANY adapter interface. The TPS65400 devices reside on a customized board, sharing the same PMBus. When I launch PI-Commander (0.8.5), there is a popup message saying " Incompatible FTDI device drivers have been detected. To resolve this issue, please exit the program and install compatible drivers which are bundled with this application. The driver installer is accessible from the "PI-Commander-0.8.5" system menu. Acknowledge" 

I did that and re-launch the program again, then the SW says no device detected. Can anyone tell me what the problem is? Thanks. --Nikko

  • Is TPS65400 on your board powered up?

    Is CE pin floating or pull high already?

    TPS65400 need power to response software communication. CE pin is chip enable which is to enable digital interface and internal volrage regulators.

    To communicate with this device need this two conditions. Suppose 2 device I2CADDR already conneted with different resistors.

  • Hi Daniel,

    Yes, TPS65400 is powered up. VIN=12V. PVIN1/2/3/4=12V. CE is floating, it measures about 3.5V on the ocsilloscope. All three internal regulators are on, VDDA=VDDG=6.1~6.2V; VDDD=3.2V.

    I2CADDR is connected to 22k for one device (0x6A); 10k for the other (0x69).

    If CE is high and RST_n is low, does the digital interface work?

    Thanks
