TUSB Connect Detect Pin Behavior

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TUSB211

Hello,


I am looking at including the TUSB211 in a design.  I am trying to use this particular part to correct a design error in a product that will be interfacing with this part.  My question relates to the behavior of the CD pin.  I understand that if there is a USB connection, CD will be asserted.  If the peripheral disconnects, it is also my understanding that CD will de-assert.  However, what happens in the situation where the host-side (upstream) data lines disconnect, but VBUS remains.  Will CD also be de-asserted in that particular case?

Thanks,

Jake

  • Hi Jake,

    The data sheet Pin Functions Table states that the CD is "asserted from an unconnected state upon detection of DP or DM pull-up resistor. De-asserted upon detection of disconnect." The continued presence of VBUS should not affect the CD de-assertion.

  • Hi Mark,

    Thank you for your quick response. I'm pretty sure that you're telling me what I want to hear, but I want to just make sure I've got this right before I order an eval module. I've included a table of the conditions below and my understanding of the CD state:

    VBUS Present Host Data Lines Connected Peripheral Data Lines Connected CD State
    ------------------ ------------------------------------ -------------------------------------------- ------------
    Yes No No De-asserted
    Yes No Yes De-asserted
    Yes Yes No De-asserted
    Yes Yes Yes Asserted

    I'm assuming it's able to detect this state due to the removal of the pull-downs on the host-side of the interface?

    Thanks,
    Jake
  • Hello Jake,

    Your understanding and table are correct, the CD terminal will detect the connection of the device regardless VBUS is always on.

  • Hi Jake,
    I don't think that it will detect disconnected host connections.
    I'll contact you via email to continue this discussion.

  • Hello Jake & Mark,

    The detection should be the same in both ways (Host & Device), due to the application scheme where the terminals D1P & D1M are shorted with D2P & D2M respectively. Please reffer to the refference schematic (datasheet page 8) and the layout example (datasheet page 12).

    regards,
    Diego.
  • Hello,

    I received the EVM today, and unfortunately it does not detect a host-side connection.  If 5V VBUS is constantly applied, the CD pin will assert once a device is connected, even if the host data lines are not present.

    Thanks,

    Jake
