App note: USB hardware design guidelines for FTDI ICs

Check out hardware design guidelines from FTDI when using their ICs.

While use of FTDI ICs makes USB easy to implement, care must be taken during the hardware design phase of a project to ensure certain practices are followed. This application note

provides design guidelines for several common questions that have been asked of the FTDI Applications Engineering team.

It is not a full and complete list of PCB design rules but only recommendations. It is expected that future releases of this application note will add further recommendations based on feedback from FTDI IC users.
