Product details
Overview
TUSB320LIRWBR from Texas Instruments is a USB Type-C™ Configuration Channel (CC) logic and port controller IC designed for role detection, cable orientation sensing, current mode advertisement (default/1.5 A/3 A), and VBUS detection in DFP/UFP/DRP applications. It operates from 2.7 V to 5 V, supports I2C or GPIO control, and features tri-level PORT/ADDR inputs for flexible mode configuration. Used in mobile phones, tablets, and notebooks to enable compliant USB-C connectivity.
For engineers reviewing the TUSB320LIRWBR datasheet, TUSB320LIRWBR pinout, TUSB320LIRWBR application, or TUSB320LIRWBR equivalent, key selection considerations include CC pin voltage thresholds (e.g., VTH_UFP_CC_HIGH = 1.23 V typ), VBUS_DET threshold (3.30 V typ), DRP toggle timing (75 ms typ), I2C soft reset duration (49 ms typ), and industrial temperature range (–40°C to 85°C).
Technical Context
The TUSB320LIRWBR implements USB Type-C Specification 1.1 CC logic with dual CC1/CC2 I/O pins for attach/detach, orientation, and role detection. Its internal pulldown (RCC_D = 5.1 kΩ typ) and pullup (ICC_HIGH_P = 330 µA typ) resistors comply with USB-C current mode requirements. The device samples PORT and ADDR at power-on or after I2C_SOFT_RESET to configure DFP/UFP/DRP behavior.
VBUS detection uses an external 887 kΩ resistor between system VBUS and VBUS_DET pin, with internal 95 kΩ pulldown and 3.30 V threshold. In I2C mode (ADDR = H/L), it supports 400 kHz clock, register-based CURRENT_MODE_ADVERTISE and SOURCE_PREF control, and interrupt-driven status reporting via INT_N/OUT3.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 5 V - Enables direct integration with 3.3 V or 5 V system rails without level-shifting. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial environments including mobile and embedded host systems. |
| CC Pin Thresholds | VTH_UFP_CC_HIGH = 1.23 V typ - Accurately detects 3 A DFP source capability when configured as UFP. |
| VBUS Detection | VBUS_THR = 3.30 V typ - Ensures reliable UFP attachment confirmation before enabling power path. |
| DRP Toggle Period | tDRP = 75 ms typ - Balances fast role negotiation with stable CC line settling during dual-role operation. |
| I2C Timing | fSCL = 400 kHz - Supports standard-mode I2C for register access without requiring high-speed peripherals. |
| Current Consumption | IACTIVE_UFP = 100 µA typ - Minimizes standby power in battery-powered UFP devices like portable accessories. |
Pinout & Package
The TUSB320LIRWBR is housed in a 12-pin X2QFN (RWB) package measuring 1.60 mm × 1.60 mm with 0.4 mm pitch and wettable flank leads for automated optical inspection.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CC1 / CC2 | Configuration Channel I/O | Dual bidirectional pins for USB-C cable orientation, attach/detach, and role detection per USB Type-C Spec 1.1. |
| PORT | Tri-level Mode Select Input | H = DFP (source), L = UFP (sink), NC = DRP - sampled at power-on or after reset to lock port role. |
| ADDR | Tri-level I2C/GPIO Config Input | H = I2C addr 0x67, L = I2C addr 0x47, NC = GPIO mode - disables I2C bus if left floating. |
| INT_N/OUT3 | Open-Drain Interrupt or Audio Detect Output | In I2C mode: active-low interrupt on register change; in GPIO mode: audio accessory detect (L = detected). |
| SDA/OUT1 & SCL/OUT2 | Dual-function I2C Data/Clock or Current Mode Outputs | In GPIO mode: open-drain outputs indicating detected current mode (e.g., OUT1 = H/H/L for default/medium/high). |
| VBUS_DET | High-Voltage Input (5–28 V) | Monitors system VBUS via external 887 kΩ resistor; triggers UFP attachment only after debounce and threshold crossing. |
| EN_N | Active-Low Enable Input | Must be held low ≥50 ms after VDD stabilization to activate device - internal 1.1 MΩ pullup ensures safe default disable. |
| ID | Open-Drain Attachment Indicator | Asserted low when CC pins detect device attachment in DFP or DRP-as-source mode - used for system wake-up signaling. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| USB Type-C 1.1 Compliance | Fully implements CC logic for attach/detach, orientation, role, and current mode per spec - no firmware required. |
| DRP with Try.SRC/Try.SNK | I2C-configurable preference for DFP or UFP role when connecting to another DRP - resolves role ambiguity in dual-role systems. |
| Flexible Control Interface | Supports either I2C (two addresses: 0x47/0x67) or GPIO-only mode - eliminates MCU dependency in simple sink applications. |
| 3 A Current Advertisement | ICC_HIGH_P = 330 µA typ enables 3 A sourcing when VDD ≥ 3.5 V - meets USB-C high-power charging requirements. |
| Low-Power Operation | 100 µA active current in UFP mode - extends battery life in portable accessories and wearables. |
| VBUS-Safe Detection | VBUS_DET input rated to 28 V with internal 95 kΩ pulldown - allows direct connection to system VBUS without external protection. |

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; requires external MCU for PD policy engine; 10-pin QFN. | Required for USB Power Delivery negotiation beyond basic CC logic; not drop-in for pure Type-C role detection. | Select FUSB302BMPX only if USB PD 2.0/3.0 compliance and variable voltage negotiation are needed. |
| TUSB320HIRWBR | Pin-compatible active-high enable (EN) variant; identical electrical specs, package, and feature set except EN polarity. | Direct replacement where system GPIO drives enable signal high-active; no changes to CC, VBUS, or I2C circuitry required. | Choose TUSB320HIRWBR when existing design uses active-high enable control - same footprint and firmware compatibility. |
Compared with TUSB320LIRWBR, FUSB302BMPX adds USB PD PHY but increases system complexity and cost, while TUSB320HIRWBR offers identical functionality with inverted enable polarity - making it the only true hardware-compatible alternative for EN signal redesign.

FAQ
What is the function of the PORT pin on the TUSB320LIRWBR?
The PORT pin is a tri-level input that configures the TUSB320LIRWBR's operational mode at power-on or after reset: pulled high to VDD selects DFP (source), pulled low to GND selects UFP (sink), and left unconnected configures DRP (dual-role). This pin directly determines how the device presents pullup/pulldown resistors on CC1/CC2 and handles VBUS detection - no software configuration is needed for basic mode selection.
How does the TUSB320LIRWBR detect 3 A current capability from a connected DFP?
The TUSB320LIRWBR detects 3 A capability by measuring the voltage on CC1 or CC2 against the VTH_UFP_CC_HIGH threshold (1.23 V typical). When a DFP applies its 3 A pullup current (330 µA) through the cable, the resulting voltage at the TUSB320LIRWBR's CC pin exceeds this threshold, triggering recognition of high-current mode. This detection occurs in UFP or DRP-as-sink states and is reported via I2C registers or GPIO outputs SDA/OUT1 and SCL/OUT2.
What external components are required for VBUS detection on the TUSB320LIRWBR?
A single 887 kΩ ±1% resistor is required between the system VBUS rail and the VBUS_DET pin of the TUSB320LIRWBR. This resistor forms a voltage divider with the device's internal 95 kΩ pulldown, ensuring the input sees a valid voltage within the 2.95–3.80 V threshold window when VBUS is present. No additional capacitors, diodes, or regulators are needed - the TUSB320LIRWBR handles debounce and threshold validation internally.
Can the TUSB320LIRWBR operate in I2C mode and GPIO mode simultaneously?
No, the TUSB320LIRWBR operates exclusively in one control mode at a time, determined by the ADDR pin state: ADDR = high or low enables I2C mode with fixed 7-bit addresses (0x67 or 0x47), while ADDR = unconnected (NC) disables I2C and activates GPIO mode. In GPIO mode, SDA/OUT1 and SCL/OUT2 become open-drain outputs reflecting current mode, and INT_N/OUT3 indicates audio accessory presence - all without I2C traffic.
What is the minimum VDD voltage required to advertise 3 A current using the TUSB320LIRWBR?
The TUSB320LIRWBR requires VDD ≥ 3.5 V to reliably advertise 3 A current in DFP or DRP-as-source mode. This requirement ensures sufficient headroom for the internal current source (ICC_HIGH_P = 330 µA typ) to drive the CC line to specification-compliant voltage levels. At VDD < 3.5 V, the device defaults to medium (1.5 A) or default (500 mA) current advertisement - a hardware-enforced safety limit documented in Section 6.5 of the datasheet.
