8.6.2.2

Port Power Control using Poly Fuse

When using the device with a poly fuse, there is no need for an output power control. To maintain consistency, the same

circuit will be used. A single port power control and over-current sense for each downstream port is still used from the

Hub's perspective. When disabling port power, the driver will actively drive a '0'. This will have no effect as the external

diode will isolate pin from the load. When port power is enabled, it will disable the output driver and enable the pull-up

resistor. This means that the pull-up resistor is providing 3.3 volts to the anode of the diode. If there is an over-current

situation, the poly fuse will open. This will cause the cathode of the diode to go to 0 volts. The anode of the diode will

be at 0.7 volts, and the Schmidt trigger input will register this as a low resulting in an over-current detection. The open

drain output does not interfere.

8.6.2.3

Port Power Control with Single Poly Fuse and Multiple Loads

Many customers use a single poly fuse to power all their devices. For the ganged situation, all power control pins must

be tied together.

Note:

The USB 2.0 and USB 3.2 Gen 1 bPwrOn2PwrGood descriptors must be set to 0 when using poly-fuse

mode. Refer to the “Configuration Options for the USB58xx and USB59xx” Microchip application note for

details on how to change these values.
