PRODUCTION DATA.
Refer to the PDF data sheet for device specific package drawings
The TUSB422 can be used in applications in which USB devices are connected too. For example, in a desktop application the Type-C port(s) must be able to determine when a device is attached and enable both power (in the form of VBUS) and datapath (either USB data and/or Alternate Mode data like DisplayPort) to attached device. The TUSB422 can be used in a DFP application by programming the Role Control register to 0x05. This presents Rp on both of TUSB422 CC pins. When configured as a DFP, the TUSB422 can be used to control the sourcing of VCONN. Control of VBUS source path must be handled outside of the TUSB422.
Upon enabling TUSB422 for DFP, the TUSB422 will continuously monitor both CC1 and CC2 for a connection. After a connection has been determined, the TUSB422 will notify system of event by asserting the INT_N pin low. Upon detecting assertion of INT_N, the external microprocessor should read and clear the appropriate Alert registers.
The following steps are for initialization of the TUSB422 for DFP operation.
NOTE
Because TUSB422 supports Dead Battery Mode, a dedicated DFP application (like a Car Charger) which uses the TUSB422 should incorporate a diode in the source power path circuitry to block VBUS from being received by another attached DFP/DRP that is providing VBUS.
