USB Type-C Plug to USB Type-A Socket SS (SuperSpeed) MUX Reference Design with UFP Controller

TIDA-00891 is designed to evaluate the HD3SS3220 device for UFP implementation. This reference design also serves as a hardware reference design for any implementation using the HD3SS3220 with a USB-C™ connector. Reference design files are available upon request to assist in PCB design using the HD3SS3220. This design provides layout files to guide you through the routing/location rules schematic to implement the TUSB321A. This reference design provides an onboard USB Type-A plug to connect to legacy USB systems. Please note that this reference design may contain test components that are intended for evaluation and are not suitable for production.

characteristic

• ● Can operate off the 5V VBUS of a traditional Type A USB connection
• ● USB2 D+1 and D+2, D-1 and D-2 are shorted on the Type-C connector to support two connection directions
• ● Has a USB Type-A plug and a USB Type-C™ socket. The Type-A plug connects to a USB legacy Type-A socket for host-side connection.
• ● USB3 TX and RX signals are multiplexed by the HD3SS3220 to support both connection directions on the USB Type-C™ port.  
• ● Small design simplifies system implementation
