TUSB8041: Some questions about TUSB8041I

Part Number: TUSB8041


Tool/software:

This is FAE Jayden, my customer is using TUSB8041I in their cloud computer projects. And they have some questions in layout. Pls help support.

1. USB_VBUSPIN48),我们现在TUSB8041芯片是直接和AP连接的,在同一块主板上,这个管脚是否可以不用?不用的话需要悬空还是接地?

For USB_VBUS (PIN48), TUSB8041 Pin 48 is directly connected to the AP(SOC) on the same motherboard in this project. Can this pin not be used? If not used, should it be left floating or grounded?

2. VDD33VDD11 的上电时序和GRST管脚接法有关,接电容的话没有上电时序要求,那规格书中下面这个时序图图适合哪种场景?  我们GRST是否需要接到APGPIO上进行复位?

The power-on timing of VDD33 and VDD11 is related to the connection method of the GRST pin. If the capacitor is connected, there is no power-on timing requirement. Then which scenario is the following timing diagram in the specification suitable for? Do we need to connect GRST to the GPIO of the AP for reset?

3. I2C管脚和EEROM连接时作为MASTER,什么情况需要外加EEROM

When the I2C pin is connected to the EEROM as a MASTER, in what cases is an external EEROM required?

4. 外部没有E2ROMI2C能否作为SLAVEAP进行连接?

When there is no external E2ROM, can I2C be connected to the AP as a SLAVE?

5. AUTOEN_HS_SUSPEND 管脚有内部上拉电阻,管脚拉低充电功能有效,是不是只有这个管脚拉低后PWRCTL1_NATEN*这几个管脚才能去控制外部的DCDC的使能管脚?

The AUTOEN_HS_SUSPEND pin has an internal pull-up resistor. The charging function is valid when the pin is pulled low. Is it only after this pin is pulled low that the PWRCTL1_NATEN* pins can control the external DCDC enable pin?

        I'm out of  office but will reply by tomorrow.

  • For USB_VBUS (PIN48), TUSB8041 Pin 48 is directly connected to the AP(SOC) on the same motherboard in this project. Can this pin not be used? If not used, should it be left floating or grounded?

     USB_Vbus pin has to connected to a fixed supply ( 5v or 3.3v) to make it 500mv after voltage divider, without seeing 500mv, hub will be off.

    suggested to connect to host Vbus though divider.

    The power-on timing of VDD33 and VDD11 is related to the connection method of the GRST pin.

    if 1.1v supply is on after 3.3v, you need to control GRSTz either by big Cap size or controlled by external signal  from AP.

    if 1.1v supply is on before or same as 3.3v supply, there is no power on sequence and 0.1Uf cap on GRStz is good enough.

  • When the I2C pin is connected to the EEROM as a MASTER, in what cases is an external EEROM required?

    external EEPROM is needed only if you plan to change hub configuration, like remove ports, the default hub configuration should work

    When there is no external E2ROM, can I2C be connected to the AP as a SLAVE?

    in I2C mode (SMBUSz is high), it only works as master mode for external EEPROM, it can not used as receiver mode  talked to AP I2C .

    but in SMBUSz mode (SMBUSz is low), SCL/SDA pin is in receiver mode, it can be used in both SMBUS mdoe and i2C mode.

    AUTOEN_HS_SUSPEND 管脚有内部上拉电阻,管脚拉低充电功能有效,是不是只有这个管脚拉低后PWRCTL1_NATEN*这几个管脚才能去控制外部的DCDC的使能管脚

    no, Auto_HS pin is only for USB BA charging mode.

    PWRCTLx is controlled  by FULLPWRMENT pin, once FULLPWRMENT is low, PWRCTLx is active either high active or low active based on PWRCTL_POL status.

  • Hi Brian,

    Thanks for your support. I will loop you into customer's email because ZTE has further questions. Thanks.
