TUSB215-Q1: D1M, D2M and D1P, D2P pins connection method

Part Number: TUSB215-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TUSB217-Q1, TUSB213-Q1

Hi,
For some reasons, we design the circuit of tusb215-q1 as shown in the figure below, that is, the 9th and 10th pins of tusb215-q1 are not connected, and the 5th and 6th pins are respectively connected to DP and DM signal lines.
The reason why we do it this way,Because I confirmed that D1M-D2M and D1P-D2P are physically connected through metal wires inside the tusb215-q1.And in this connection method,We have tested the eye diagram which is also OK.
Can tusb215-q1 be used in this way? And I know that there may be some slight differences between the usage method recommended in the datasheet,but is there a greater risk?
Because our product has been designed, if we modify it now, there will be a lot of certification needs to be repeated, which is more troublesome.So please make a detailed evaluation.
thanks!

When there is tusb215-q1, from the eye diagram results, the compensation has worked.
Here are Near End Eye Measurement Set up With Pre-channel Cable.AC BOOST Level = 3,DC BOOST Level = low(40mV).

Pre-channel Cable = 1m:

Pre-channel Cable = 4m:

We did not test the eye diagram without tusb215-q1.

In fact, we have asked tusb217-q1 about the same question before and received your following reply(TUSB217-Q1: D1M, D2M and D1P, D2P pins connection method):

thanks!

    Hi,

    As mentioned before this is not recommended but maybe workable for this device. Test results (functional and eye diagram) may be different form the typical design. Keep in mind that TUSB215-Q1 and TUSB217-Q1 have some differences. TUSB215-Q1 should not be used when there is another USB BC 1.2 controller on the bus. TUSB215-Q1 has a CDP controller that is always enabled and can interfere with the CDP function. You may want ton consider using TUSB213-Q1 if used tuning would be needed.
