TUSB7340: Questions about I2C interface and D+ to Vcc leakage

Part Number: TUSB7340

Can I2C be used to detect attach/detach events – i.e. link status? E.g. Table 162?

 

Can I2C be used to “dynamically” enable/disable a port?

Meaning the PHY is forced to not detect any USB device versus removing the controller from the OS (live) which would crash the host server.

               These are security features we are losing as USB host leaves the chipset.

 

Concerning Non-USB compliant devices (e.g. bias on D+ w/o VBUS being supplied to the device) – does this provide a leakage path through this IC to a VCC rail? 

e.g., this happens on southbridge USB Host controllers and creates issues.

  • let me check with design if can do it. There is no I2C address in datasheet.

  • it may not actively configured during operation by I2c,, the intent is for ports to be enabled / disabled at reset and then left that way.

     

  • What about the leakage question:

    Concerning Non-USB compliant devices (e.g. bias on D+ w/o VBUS being supplied to the device) – does this provide a leakage path through this IC to a VCC rail? 

  • you mean TUSB7340 power supply is off too?

  • Yes, the TUSB7340 is powered off.  The customer wants to know if a bias voltage on D+ will leak thru the TUSB7340 onto any of its power rails.  If you have an EVM and can run some tests, check each of these conditions:

                   VBUS unpowered

                   D+ biased to +5V

                   TUSB7340 VDD33             3.3V I/O Power Rail unpowered                  what is voltage on VDD33?

                   TUSB7340 VDDA_3P3      3.3V Analog Power Rail unpowered           what is voltage on VDDA_3P3?

                   TUSB7340 VDD11             1.1V Core Power Rail unpowered               what is voltage on VDD11?

  • yes, it will have leakage when power off but 5v on DP/DM.

    but we don't have EVM in the lab right now and this device is NRND
