SLLSES1D December 2015 – September 2020 HD3SS3220
PRODUCTION DATA
Audio accessory mode is supported through two types of adapters. First, the passive audio adapter can be used to convert the Type-C connector into an audio port. In order to effectively detect the passive audio adapter, the HD3SS3220 must detect a resistance < R(a) on both the CC pins.
Secondly, a charge through audio adapter can be used. The primary difference between a passive and charge through adapter is that the charge through adapter supports supplying 500 mA of current over VBUS. The charge through adapter contains a receptacle and a plug. The plug shall act as a DFP and supply VBUS when it sees it’s connected.
When HD3SS3220 is configured in GPIO mode, OUT3 pin shall be used to determine if an Audio Accessory is connected. When an Audio Accessory is detected, the OUT3 pin is pulled low.
