Port Power Control

Port power and over-current sense share the same pin (PRT_CTLx) for each port. These functions can be controlled

directly from the USB hub, or via the processor.

8.2.1

PORT POWER CONTROL USING USB POWER SWITCH

When operating in combined mode, the device will have one port power control and over-current sense pin for each

downstream port. When disabling port power, the driver will actively drive a '0'. To avoid unnecessary power dissipation,

the pull-up resistor will be disabled at that time. When port power is enabled, it will disable the output driver and enable

the pull-up resistor, making it an open drain output. If there is an over-current situation, the USB Power Switch will assert

the open drain OCS signal. The Schmidt trigger input will recognize that as a low. The open drain output does not inter-

fere. The over-current sense filter handles the transient conditions such as low voltage while the device is powering up.

Note:

This feature requires an external firmware to work on all the downstream ports. The default ROM will sup-

port battery charging only on native Type-C/legacy ports.

Note:

The PRT_CTLx function is assigned to programmable function pins (PFx) via configuration straps. Refer

to Section 3.3.4, PF[31:3] Configuration (CFG_STRAP[2:1]) for additional information.

Note:

The port power control for the USB 2.0 and USB 3.2 portions of a specific port can also be individually con-

trolled via the PortSplit function. Refer to Section 8.5, PortSplit for additional information.
