3 Description

HD3SS3220 is a USB SuperSpeed (SS) 2:1 mux with

DRP port controller. The device provides Channel

Configuration (CC) logic and 5V VCONN sourcing

for ecosystems implementing USB Type-C. The

HD3SS3220 can be configured as a Downstream

Facing Port (DFP), Upstream Facing Port (UFP) or

a Dual Role Port (DRP) making it ideal for any

application.

The HD3SS3220, in DRP mode, alternates presenting

itself as a DFP or UFP according to the Type-C

specifications. The CC logic block monitors the CC1

and CC2 pins for pull-up or pull-down resistances to

determine when a USB port has been attached and

its port role. Once a USB port has been attached,

the CC logic also determines the orientation of the

cable and configures the USB SS mux accordingly.

Finally, CC logic advertises or detects Type-C current

mode – Default, Mid, or High in DFP and UFP modes

respectively.

Excellent dynamic characteristics of the integrated

mux allow switching with minimum attenuation to the

SS signal eye diagram and very little added jitter.

The device’s switch paths deploy adaptive common

mode voltage tracking resulting identical channel

despite different common mode voltage for RX and

TX channels.
