3 Description

The TUSB321AI device enables USB Type-C ports

with the configuration channel (CC) logic needed for

Type-C ecosystems. The TUSB321AI device uses

the CC pins to determine port attach and detach,

cable orientation, role detection, and port control for

Type-C current mode. The TUSB321AI device 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 TUSB321AI device when configured as a DRP

alternates configuration as a DFP or UFP according

to the Type-C Specifications. The CC logic block

monitors the CC1 and CC2 pins for pullup or

pulldown resistances to determine when a USB port

has been attached, the orientation of the cable, and

the role detected. The CC logic detects the Type-C

current mode as default, medium, or high depending

on the role detected. VBUS detection is implemented

to determine a successful attach in UFP and DRP

modes.

The device operates over a wide supply range and

has low-power consumption. The TUSB321AI device

is available in industrial and commercial temperature

ranges.
