SLLSEK3E July 2015 – September 2017 TUSB4041I
PRODUCTION DATA.
The user should implement VDD as a single power plane, as well as VDD33.
TI recommends to use only one board ground plane in the design which provides the best image plane for signal traces running above the plane. Connect the thermal pad of the TUSB4041I and any of the voltage regulators to this plane with vias. An earth or chassis ground is implemented only near the USB port connectors on a different plane for EMI and ESD purposes.
