TPD4EUSB30: Polarity Inversion on D+ D- pins

Part Number: TPD4EUSB30

Hi, 

For TPD4EUSB30DQAR, is there any particular reason the pins D+/D- are named like that? As far as we could understand, it's okay to connect the DP pair to D- as well. Pls confirm if polarity inversion can be applied for the part or not as it's a TVS diode. 

  • Hello,

    It is to match a normal USB pair orientation, so it's marked like that to help designers on the layout. It is fine to swap the lines.

    Pls confirm if polarity inversion can be applied for the part or not as it's a TVS diode. 

    Yes, it is fine. Internally, they are electrically identical. 

    Let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks. 

    Best,
