TUSB8044A: Timing of VBUS

Hailey Chen

Part Number: TUSB8044A

Hi, expert:

In a specific design, we are considering powering up the USB device VBUS (5V) before the Hub's internal rails (1.1V/3.3V) are active (while the Hub's USB_VBUS pin is still unpowered). What potential impact would this power sequence have on the Hub's operation or reliability?"

Hi,

Why are we doing this? This will mean that the device will be powered before the hub is powered. This does not speed up enumeration or operation as we will need to wait for the USB hub to enumerate anyway.

Hi, Vishesh:

Due to power rail design, VBUS 5V is not always could be controlled power up later than Hub's internal rails, so want to know the potential impact on Hub's operation.

Hi Haily:

USB_VBus is normally connected to host Vbus, is this embedded system?
