  • Hello Chen,

    I am not sure to understand the customer implementation. Can you please elaborate a little bit further?
    What device will be the I2C master on this implementation? What registers will be read and with what purpose?

    The I2C bus on TUSB4041 was designed with the only purpose of loading a custom configuration on the device (either through an external EEPROM or SMBus master).
