Hi Sirs,
We have use TUSB1210, need to confirm that is ID pin active Hi?? And how about Hi level = ? V
Thanks for kindly reply.
Hello Mike,
The ID pin functionality depends on the role you want to use the TUSB1210.
An OTG dual-role device can operate either as a host or peripheral. In OTG nomenclature, the initial host is called the A-Device, and the initial peripheral is called the B-Device. The word initial is important. Once connected, OTG dual-role devices can exchange roles—host and peripheral—by using the new Host Negotiation Protocol (HNP).
The cable orientation determines the initial roles (Figure below). Dual-role devices use a new receptacle called the mini-AB. The mini-A plug, the mini-B plug and the mini-AB receptacle add a fifth pin (ID) to give different electrical identities to the cable ends. This fifth ID pin is connected to ground inside the mini-A plug and left floating in the mini-B plug. The OTG device receiving the grounded ID pin is the default A-Device (host); the device with the floating ID pin is the default B-Device (peripheral).
To understand the need for the HNP and host/peripheral role reversal, the example in the figure below shows two dual-role devices, a PDA and a printer. The PDA has a printer driver inside. The two devices are connected with the new OTG cable as shown, making the printer the default host (A-Device) and the PDA the default peripheral (B-Device). But this setup is backwards. The PDA, which has the printer driver, needs to act as USB host to the printer, which contains no driver. Rather than bothering the user to reverse the cable, HNP allows the devices' roles to reverse automatically and silently.
Best regards,
Diego.
