CY7C65632 PWR and OVR pins

[KevinBenstead]

Hi

I'm designing a USB hub with CY7C65632 in the 28 pin package.

My hub will be self powered.

Each of my downstream ports has a power switch/monitor which will detect an over current on the port and turn off the power to that port.

I can connect the fault outputs to the OVRn# pins of the chip which will inform the hub of the fault condition.

My question is what does the #PWR pin on the device do when one of the ports detects a fault.  I have the GANG pin set to individual mode.

Does the PWR pin  go high when the  a fault is detected on any one of the ports.  If I then use that signal to control the power switch won't that mean it will turn off the power to all the downstream ports?

I understand that if I set the GANG pin to GANG mode only OVR1# is active (the rest are ignored) but what happens in individual mode.

Lastly.  OVRn# pins are listed as having pull ups.  to which supply pin are these pull up resistors connected?

Thanks

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Individual mode would mean that the power is switched on a per port basis so when one of the ports have a OCP fault condition, only that port is disabled. Your implementation is correct if each port has a PWR# pin corresponding to it like we have in the 48-pin package. But in the 28-pin package, since only one PWR# pin is present, it corresponds to Port 1 so it will only be de-asserted when OVR1# is asserted. The other OVR2#, OVR3#, OVR4# pins would indicate OCP fault condition to the hub but it wont cause the hub to toggle the PWR# pin. 

So, the way to implement individual mode power control in the 28-pin package would be through polyfuses as done in the CY4608 DVK.

The internal pullups are connected to 3.3V VCC supply.

Hi Sanayana

Thanks for your reply.

That information is most useful.

I was confused by the CY4608DVK circuit as it has both poly fuses and AIC1526-0 power switches.

Thanks again
