VBUS, GND and SHIELD schematics

[Anonymous]

Hi,

   

The VBUS connection is a bit confusing. Specifically after reading the application note: AN1168 (Please compare this application note with the schematics). 

   

How should I connect the VBUS to the CYUSB3014 if I only want to use the CYUSB3014 as a cell-power device only (No OTG application). Do I need to use 39K or 62K resistors (AN1168) along with the BLM21PG221SN1D (inductor)? I would appreciate it if you could also specify the whole path from the VBUS pin on the USB connector to the VBUS pin on the CYUSB3014.

   

Thanks,

The datasheet has a section which explains the extra circuitry needed and the reason. Please check if this is the case, if so please use the DVK schematic as reference.

   

If you look at AN1168 it doesn't recommend value for the resistor on VBUS line i.e. the figure is just for demonstration, the value and circuit to be used will be based on your requirement.

   

If this is not clear please add more information on your design (self-power/bus-power, end application, charging supported etc) so that we can understand the design better

Hi,

   

Dose the FX3 need a connection to VBUS before it can operate. The data sheet page seems to suggest  that VBUS  or VBATT powers the FX3 USB transceivers. So if VBUS is not present would VBATT be okay to power the FX3 USB transceivers.

Hi,

   

Thansk for your answer Anand. What instructions are needed in the firmware to cause the FX3 to use VBATT instead of VBUS.

Please look at CyU3PUsbVBattEnable in FX3 API guide.
