6.3.2.1 Downstream Facing Port (DFP) - Source

The TUSB322I device can be configured as a DFP-only device by changing the MODE_SELECT register default

setting. In DFP mode, the TUSB322I device constantly presents Rps on both CC. In DFP mode, the TUSB322I

device initially advertises default USB Type-C current. The Type-C current can be adjusted through I2C if the

system is required to increase the amount advertised. The TUSB322I device adjusts the Rps to match the

desired Type-C current advertisement. As a DFP, the TUSB322I monitors the voltage level on CC pins looking

for the Rd termination of a UFP. When a UFP is detected and TUSB322I is in the Attached.SRC state, the

TUSB322I will supply VCONN on the CC pin that has Ra.

The following list describes the steps for enabling DFP-only.

1. Write a 1'b1 to DISABLE_TERM register (address 0x0A bit 0)

2. Write a 2'b10 to MODE_SELECT register (address 0x0A bits 5:4)

3. Write a 1'b0 to DISABLE_TERM register (address 0x0A bit 0)

When configured as a DFP, the TUSB322I can operate with older USB Type-C 1.0 devices except for a USB

Type-C 1.0 DRP device. The TUSB322I cannot operate with a USB Type-C 1.0 DRP device. The limitation is a

result of a backwards compatibility problem between USB Type-C 1.1 DFP and a USB Type-C 1.0 DRP.

6.3.2.2 Upstream Facing Port (UFP) - Sink

The TUSB322I device can be configured as a UFP-only by changing the MODE_SELECT register default

setting. In UFP mode, the TUSB322I device constantly presents pulldown resistors (Rd) on both CC pins.

The TUSB322I device monitors the CC pins for the voltage level corresponding to the Type-C mode current

advertisement by the connected DFP. The TUSB322I device debounces the CC pins and wait for VBUS detection

before successfully attaching. As a UFP, the TUSB322I device detects and communicates the advertised current

level of the DFP to the system through the I2C CURRENT_MODE_DETECT register once in the Attached.SNK

state.

Steps for enabling UFP-only:

1. Write a 1'b1 to DISABLE_TERM register (address 0x0A bit 0).

2. Write a 2'b01 to MODE_SELECT register (address 0x0A bits 5:4)
