SLLSES1D December 2015 – September 2020 HD3SS3220
PRODUCTION DATA
The HD3SS3220 supplies VCONN to active cables when configured in DFP mode or DRP acting as a DFP. VCONN is provided only when it is determined that the unconnected CC pin is terminated to a resistance, R(a), and after a UFP is detected and the attached. SRC state is entered. VCONN is supplied from VDD5 through a low resistance power FET out to the unconnected CC pin. VCONN is removed when a detach event is detected and the active cable is removed.
HD3SS3220 provides a current limiting function which will disconnect VCONN when the current being drawn from a device is above the max allowed for VCONN. When a VCONN fault has occurred, the VCONN flag in the I2C register is set and HD3SS3220 stops supplying VCONN (switch turns off), until the register flag has been cleared. If HD3SS3220 is in GPIO mode when a fault occurs, the VCONN switch is turned off and HD3SS3220 will not supply VCONN until a port detach and re-attach occurs.
