On AM64x SKEVM, USB 3.0 HOST Interface is offered through USB Type-A Connector (692121030100) which supports data rate up-to 5Gbps. Super-speed differential signals from Type-A connector are connected to the SERDES-0 block of SoC via choke and ESD protection device. USB2.0 Lines of the Type-A Connector are directly interfaced to the USB0 port of AM64x SOC. USB0_DRVVBUS from SoC enables the 5V power switch to provide VUSB_TYPEA supply which is used for USB Type-A Connector.
An ESD protection device meeting the USB 3.0 speed and capacitance specification shall be included on all USB3.0 Lines (TX_P, RX_P, TX_N, and RX_N) to dissipate ESD strikes. A common mode choke on USB Data lines shall be provided to take care of EMI/EMC. An ESD protection device of part number TPD4S012 is included to dissipate ESD strikes on USB2.0 DP/DM Signals.
