PRODUCTION DATA.
Each input to the multiplexer is clamped to prevent voltages on the port from exceeding the safe operating voltage of circuits attached to the system side of the port data multiplexer. Figure 11 shows the simplified clamping circuit. When a path through the multiplexer is closed, the clamp is connected to the one of the port pins (PA_USB_P/N, PB_USB_P/N). When a path through the multiplexer is not closed, then the port pin is not clamped. As the pin voltage rises above the VCLMP_IND voltage, the clamping circuit activates, and sinks current to ground, preventing the voltage from rising further.
