CP2112-EK 11. Figure 5 shows the Customization tab, which allows you to program the One-Time-Programmable (OTP) parameters of the device. The parameters that are programmed with this tab can only be programmed once and cannot be changed back to their default values after being programmed. This tab has the same functionality as the CP2112SetIDs application in the software in “AN144: CP210x/CP211x Device Customization Guide”. In order for these parameters to be sucessfully programmed, there mu
