  • Hello Zekun, 

    Thank you for the query.

    The VBUS is used as part of the USB interface.

    VBUS is connected through a divider as per the data sheet for the device.

    For host, this is optional.

  • HI Sreenivasa

    Thanks, For AM243 as host, can  VBUS used to detect external 5V power supply?

  • Hello Zekun, 

    Thank you.

    Are  you able to share the use case for me to check. As i understand, the VBUS IO does not monitor the VBUS when configured as host.

    A USB power switch with OC indication is recommended to be used. This pin can be connected to any of the SOC IO to detect USB  VBUS fault.
