FUNCTIONAL SPECIFICATIONS
POR and Reset
The FUSB251 closes both CC and SBU switches with a
valid VDD supply after Power On reset. Until valid VDD is
supplied, FUSB251 presents Rd on both CC1 and CC2 so
that a source device can provide Vbus and Type−C controller
can present Rd continuously after POR so VBUS will be
consistent. At UVLO condition which is 2.4 volt (falling),
CC and SBU switches get open again and Rd will be
presented on both CC.
There is device reset register, bit0 in 0x0B register. If the
register bit is set, all registers in the device are set to default,
so momentarily both switches will be open and closed back.
CC and SBU Switch Characteristics
The FUSB251 has 2x SPST switches on both CCx and
SBUx with OVP feature. Both CC and SBU switch paths are
closed automatically with valid Vdd supply. CC switch is
used for Type−C / PD communication channel. Also Vconn
can be provided through the switch from CCx_H to CCx. Up
to 1A Vconn current can be provided over the low Ron(0.3
W) path. Both CCx and SBUx pins are 24 volt DC−tolerant.
SBU switch can be used for DisplayPort Aux channels
following USB PD Alternative mode or UART.
Dead Battery Mode
Upon dead battery condition, the both CC1/2 ports present
Rd(5.1 kW) pull down to allow a Type−C source device to
attach and provide Vbus to the sink which is under dead
battery mode. Once system power comes back and valid
VDD supplied to FUSB251, the dead battery Rd is removed
and both CC switches are closed. Then, Type−C / PD
controller can detect the attached Type−C source device.
Over Voltage Protection
When an over−voltage event is detected on either CCx or
SBUx, the FUSB251 will activate OVP circuit to open the
switch within tOVP. The OVP event is independent between
CC and SBU. Any CC channel OVP opens the CC1 and CC2
switch path only, and SBU switch is keep closed. OVP on
SBU opens the SBU switch only. Upon the detection of an
over−voltage event, the INTB pin is asserted low to notify
processor with register update.
When OVP condition is removed from the port, the switch
path is closed automatically and OVP recovery interrupt is
generated to notify processor. Getting interrupt service is not
required to close the switch back. OVP function is only
working on the connector face ports, CCx and SBUx.
FM Pin
FM pin is for Factory test Mode (FM) purpose. When
Factory test mode is used over Type−C connector and if host
device needs to detect Factory Test fixtures by using ID with
ADC function, the FM can be used by connecting FM to
ADC input port in the processor. Without any external pull
down on FM PIN, FM can be switched to one of SBU pins,
default is SBU1 and it can be manually switched over to
SBU2 if needed. The other SBU2 or SBU1 pin will be open.
If Factory test mode is not needed, pull down(less than
10 kW) or direct connecting to GND makes switch close
between SBUx_H and SBUx after POR or reset.
Manual Mode Control
For switch, there is manual mode switch control for CC
and SBU switches. Processor can manually open or close the
switch paths in the FUSB251 even though both switches are
closed in default with valid VDD. Manual mode switch
configuration overrides the auto switch control. However,
there are exceptions, such as during moisture detection
process and OVP event because switch has to be open in
these cases. The switch configuration has to be set in the
switch control register and then, bit 0 of control register has
to be set.
Surge and ESD Protection
The FUSB251 connector facing ports, CCx and SBUx, are
designed to endure up to ±35volt surge protection. The
voltage can occur when 20 volt DC voltage from VBUS
touches the CC and SBU pins with the inductance inside
cable. Also, system ESD protection, IEC61000−4−2, is
supported with the external capacitor on CAP pin.
Capacitor Recommendation
The CAP pin needs an external capacitor ranges 0.1 mF to
1.0 mF. Recommended capacitor type is X7R which has low
capacitance variation with temperature change and 0603 or
larger size. Also the capacitor rated voltage is important
because the voltage on the CAP could be greater than 35 volt
with Surge or hot plug in the Type−C cable so 50 volt or
larger rated capacitor is recommended.
Interrupt Service
FUSB251 has INTB pin to notify processor the status
change in the device. Any change in the Interrupt register
will trigger the INTB pin which is open drain output.
INTB is ready after POR or reset without any register set.
Once INTB pin is triggered to low, the pin stays low until the
interrupt register is read by processor. The interrupt mask
registers are default disabled. If any interrupt mask bit is set,
the corresponding interrupt register bit won’t set, so INTB
pin won’t be triggered.
