5.6.2.6 VBUS Overvoltage Protection
The USB3320 provides an integrated overvoltage protection circuit to protect the VBUS pin from excessive voltages
that may be present at the USB connector. The overvoltage protection circuit works with an external resistor (R
VBUS
) by
drawing current across the resistor to reduce the voltage at the VBUS pin.
When voltage at the VBUS pin exceeds 5.5V, the Overvoltage Protection block will sink current to ground until VBUS is
below 5.5V. The current drops the excess voltage across R
VBUS
and protects the USB3320 VBUS pin. The required
R
VBUS
value is dependent on the operating mode of the USB3320 as shown in Table 5-7.
The Overvoltage Protection circuit is designed to protect the USB3320 from continuous voltages up to 30V on the R
VBUS
resistor.
The R
VBUS
resistor must be sized to handle the power dissipated across the resistor. The resistor power can be found
using the equation below:
For example, protecting a peripheral or device only application to 15V would require a 10k R
VBUS
resistor with a power
rating of 0.01W. To protect an OTG product to 15V would require a 1k R
VBUS
resistor with a power rating of 0.1W.
5.6.3 DRIVING EXTERNAL VBUS
The USB3320 monitors VBUS as described in VBUS Monitor and Pulsing. For OTG and Host applications, the system
is required to source 5 volts on VBUS. The USB3320 fully supports VBUS power control using an external VBUS switch
as shown in Figure 8-3. The USB3320 provides an active high control signal, CPEN, that is dedicated to controlling the
Vbus supply when configured as an A-Device.
CPEN is asserted by setting the DrvVbus or DrvVbusExternal bit of the OTG Control register. To be compatible with Link
designs that support both internal and external Vbus supplies the DrvVbus and DrvVbusExternal bits in the OTG Control
Register are or’d together. This enables the Link to set either bit to access the external Vbus enable (CPEN). This logic
is shown in Figure 5-12. DrvVbus and DrvVbusExternal are set to 0 on Power On Reset (POR) as shown in
Section 7.1.1.7.
