Product details
Overview
TUSB320IRWBR from Texas Instruments is a USB Type-C™ Configuration Channel (CC) logic IC for port role detection, cable orientation sensing, and current mode advertisement in DFP/UFP/DRP applications. It supports up to 3 A current detection, operates from 2.7 V to 5 V, features I²C or GPIO control, and functions across –40°C to 85°C for industrial USB 2.0 host/device implementations.
For engineers reviewing the TUSB320IRWBR datasheet, TUSB320IRWBR pinout, TUSB320IRWBR application, or TUSB320IRWBR equivalent, key selection criteria include CC pin voltage thresholds (VTH_DFP_CC_HIGH = 2.46–2.74 V), VBUS_DET input range (2.95–3.80 V), tri-level PORT/ADDR pin configuration, and dual-mode operation (I²C vs. GPIO) for USB Type-C role negotiation in mobile and embedded systems.
Technical Context
The TUSB320IRWBR implements dedicated hardware CC logic that monitors CC1/CC2 pins for pull-up/pull-down resistances to determine attach/detach, cable flip orientation, and port role (DFP/UFP/DRP). Its internal digital controller samples PORT pin state at power-on to lock mode and supports dynamic current mode updates via I²C registers.
VBUS detection uses an external 900-kΩ resistor between system VBUS and VBUS_DET pin with a 2.95–3.80 V threshold; debounce time is fixed at 2 ms. In DRP mode, it alternates DFP/UFP advertisement every 50–100 ms with configurable duty cycle, while UFP mode requires VBUS confirmation before asserting attachment.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB Type-C configuration channel logic applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| FUSB302BMPX | Supports USB PD communication via integrated PD PHY; higher pin count (16-pin QFN); requires external PD policy engine | Required for USB Power Delivery negotiation beyond basic CC logic; not drop-in for pure Type-C role detection | Choose FUSB302BMPX only if PD messaging (e.g., 20 V/5 A contracts) is needed - adds complexity and cost over TUSB320IRWBR's simpler CC-only function |
| TUSB320HDBVR | Same die, commercial temp range (0°C to 70°C); identical pinout, electrical specs, and register map | Limited to non-industrial environments; unsuitable for extended temperature deployments | Select TUSB320HDBVR only for cost-sensitive consumer devices where ambient operating temperature stays within 0–70°C |
Compared with FUSB302BMPX and TUSB320HDBVR, the TUSB320IRWBR delivers verified industrial temperature operation and minimal external component count for basic USB Type-C role and current mode detection - making it optimal for cost-constrained, thermally demanding embedded USB-C ports without Power Delivery requirements.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the TUSB320IRWBR in a USB Type-C design?
The TUSB320IRWBR serves as a dedicated Configuration Channel (CC) logic IC that handles USB Type-C port attach/detach detection, cable orientation identification, role determination (DFP/UFP/DRP), and Type-C current mode advertisement (default/1.5 A/3 A). It replaces software-based negotiation, reducing MCU load and ensuring spec-compliant behavior without requiring a full USB PD stack. The TUSB320IRWBR executes these functions autonomously using hardware CC logic and tri-level pin configuration.
How does the TUSB320IRWBR support dual-role port (DRP) functionality?
The TUSB320IRWBR supports DRP mode when the PORT pin is left unconnected (NC). In this configuration, it automatically toggles between DFP and UFP states every 50–100 ms, advertising its role on CC1/CC2 accordingly. During DFP intervals, it presents Rp; during UFP intervals, it monitors Rd. VBUS detection confirms successful UFP attachment, and the DRP duty cycle can be adjusted via I²C register. This enables true plug-and-play dual-role behavior in devices like tablets and laptops without external arbitration logic.
Can the TUSB320IRWBR detect audio accessories, and how is this implemented?
Yes, the TUSB320IRWBR supports passive and charge-through audio adapters in DFP and DRP modes. Audio accessory detection is implemented either via I²C register reads (AUDIO_ACCESSORY bit in STATUS register) or through GPIO mode using the INT_N/OUT3 pin - which asserts low when an audio accessory is connected. This dual-path implementation allows simple firmware polling or interrupt-driven detection depending on system architecture, and is fully compliant with USB Type-C Audio Adapter Accessory Mode specifications.
What are the key differences between TUSB320IRWBR and TUSB320HDBVR?
The TUSB320IRWBR and TUSB320HDBVR share identical functionality, pinout, and electrical specifications, but differ in temperature rating: TUSB320IRWBR is rated for –40°C to +85°C (industrial), while TUSB320HDBVR is rated for 0°C to +70°C (commercial). Both use the same X2QFN-12 package and support identical I²C/GPIO modes. The TUSB320IRWBR is the appropriate choice for automotive, industrial, or outdoor applications where extended temperature operation is required - the TUSB320IRWBR ensures reliability where the TUSB320HDBVR would fail.
Does the TUSB320IRWBR require external components for basic USB Type-C operation?
Yes, the TUSB320IRWBR requires three key external components for baseline operation: a 900-kΩ ±1% resistor between system VBUS and the VBUS_DET pin for VBUS sensing; pull-up/pull-down resistors on PORT and ADDR pins to set mode (e.g., 4.7 kΩ pullup for DFP, 10 kΩ pulldown for UFP); and external pullups (typically 2.2–10 kΩ) on SDA/OUT1 and SCL/OUT2 for I²C operation. No external crystal or timing components are needed - all CC timing, debounce, and state machines are fully integrated within the TUSB320IRWBR.
