2.6 Data communication interfaces
2.6.1 Universal Serial Bus (USB)
2.6.1.1 Guidelines for USB circuit design
The USB_D+ and USB_D- lines carry the USB serial data and signaling. The lines are used in single ended mode
for full speed signaling handshake, as well as in differential mode for high speed signaling and data transfer.
USB pull-up or pull-down resistors and external series resistors on USB_D+ and USB_D- lines as required by the
USB 2.0 specification [7] are part of the module USB pin driver and do not need to be externally provided.
VUSB_DET functionality is not supported by all the TOBY-L2 series modules product versions: the pin should
be left unconnected or it should not be driven high (for more details, see section 1.9.1.1).
VUSB_DET pin is not available on MPCI-L2 series modules.
Routing the USB pins to a connector, they will be externally accessible on the application device. According to
EMC/ESD requirements of the application, an additional ESD protection device with very low capacitance should
be provided close to accessible point on the line connected to this pin, as described in Figure 54 and Table 40.
The USB interface pins ESD sensitivity rating is 1 kV (Human Body Model according to JESD22-A114F).
Higher protection level could be required if the lines are externally accessible and it can be achieved by
mounting a very low capacitance (i.e. less or equal to 1 pF) ESD protection (e.g. Tyco Electronics
PESD0402-140 ESD protection device) on the lines connected to these pins, close to accessible points.
The USB_D+ and USB_D- pins of the modules can be directly connected to the USB host application processor
without additional ESD protections if they are not externally accessible or according to EMC/ESD requirements.

If the USB interface pins are not used, they can be left unconnected on the application board, but it is
recommended providing accessible test points directly connected to USB_D+ and USB_D- pins.
