BQ25606: BQ25606: USB power detection in embedded device (D+/D- lines) without sacrifice DCP detection.

Part Number: BQ25606
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TS3USB221A

Hi,

As mr Hoferichter in this resolved post   i have to use the same USB port for charging and communcation (Through Ft232) on a schematic for an embedded device.

After having carefully read the solution proposed to mr Hoferichter I ask myself the following question:

By putting two 150 Ohm resistor in line between the charger and the D+/D- bus would involve to sacrifice the DCP mode detection ?

If yes, what are the solution to save all charger type detection without disturbing communication?

  • Hey Pierre,

    Putting two 150 Ohm resistors in line with D+/D- should not impair the DCP port detection.

    While the USB BC1.2 spec specifies a 'Rdcp_dat' max of 200 Ohm. However, upon further inspection, the detection define in the sepc itself allows for further resistance on the DCP port. Based on the bq25606's worst case: minimum Vdp_src voltage of 0.5V and maximum Idm_sink of 150uA, we find that the largest resistance between the D+ and D- pins of the charger (including the DCP adapter itself) is ~667 Ohms. If we subtract out 200 Ohm, you are left with ~230 Ohm of margin on each individual line.

    However, for an alternative solution, I can suggest using a USB switch such as the TS3USB221A. This would require a driving signal to switch the Mux between USB connections.

  • Hi Joel,
    Thanks for the explanation,

    I'll put the 150Ohm resistor on my prototype and if it's unstable, the TS3USB221A will be a good option.

    Thanks a lot for your help,

    Goodbye,

    Pierre
