[C5535] Unused USB_LDO

Guru 24520 points

Hi community member,

Please let me confirm the following question.

[Question]

When customer did not use the USB_LDO, is it no problem that  the DSP_LDOO pin will be "OPEN" state?

If no, would you please show us how should they handle this pin in case of not using DSP_LDO?

[Background]

The USB_LDOO pin is Hi-Z status in disabled the USB_LDO. Now customer think that their system will supply the USB 1.3V domains by external LDO. i.e. They will not use the USB_LDOO.  So, they think that the USB_LDOO pin will connect to this external LDO(1.3V). Do you think that there is any problem for this solution?

If you have any questions, please let me know.

Best regards.

    VK: can you let me know why you want to connect USB_LDOO pin to external LDO ?  Please refer to schematic checklist for details on how to handle unused pins/LDOs.

    I had a typo in this question.
    When customer did not use the USB_LDO, is it no problem that the USB_LDOO pin will be "OPEN" state?
    So, I think that it is OK. Right?

    I do not understand why customer would like to connect this pin to external LDO. So, I will inform them that not connect it and why they would like to do.

    Best regards.
