Product details
Overview
TUSB320RWBR from Texas Instruments is a USB Type-C™ Configuration Channel (CC) logic and port control IC designed for role detection, cable orientation sensing, current mode advertisement (default/1.5 A/3 A), and VBUS monitoring in DFP/UFP/DRP applications. It operates from 2.7 V to 5 V, supports I²C or GPIO interface, and delivers industrial-grade reliability across –40°C to 85°C.
For engineers reviewing the TUSB320RWBR datasheet, TUSB320RWBR pinout, TUSB320RWBR application, or TUSB320RWBR equivalent, key selection criteria include CC pin voltage thresholds (VTH_DFP_CC_HIGH = 2.46–2.74 V), tri-level PORT/ADDR pin configuration, VBUS_DET threshold (2.95–3.80 V), and dual-mode operation (I²C/GPIO) with 400 kHz I²C support.
Technical Context
The TUSB320RWBR implements dedicated hardware CC logic that continuously monitors CC1/CC2 for pull-up/pull-down resistances to determine attach/detach, orientation, and role-without host CPU intervention. Its internal digital controller samples PORT and ADDR pins at power-on to lock mode (DFP/UFP/DRP) and address (0x60/0x61), enabling autonomous operation.
VBUS detection uses an integrated comparator with 2.95–3.80 V threshold and 2 ms debounce; CC debouncing is configurable (tCCCB_DEFAULT = 133 ms). The device supports legacy adapters via Rd (5.1 kΩ) and Rp (56 kΩ) compliance, and audio accessory detection via INT_N/OUT3 in GPIO mode.
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 LDO. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial environments including automotive infotainment and ruggedized tablets. |
| CC Detection Thresholds | VTH_DFP_CC_HIGH = 2.46–2.74 V - Ensures reliable 3 A source detection when TUSB320RWBR acts as UFP. |
| VBUS Detection Range | 2.95–3.80 V - Matches USB PD and legacy 5 V VBUS with 900 kΩ external resistor. |
| I²C Clock Frequency | 400 kHz - Supports fast register access for dynamic current mode updates during DRP toggling. |
| Current Consumption | 100 µA in active UFP mode - Minimizes standby power in battery-powered peripherals and mobile accessories. |
| Package | X2QFN-12 (1.6 mm × 1.6 mm) - Ultra-compact footprint ideal for space-constrained USB-C ports on smartphones and dongles. |
Pinout & Package
X2QFN-12 package (1.60 mm × 1.60 mm, 0.4 mm pitch) with wettable flanks for automated optical inspection and robust solder joint reliability.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CC1 / CC2 | Configuration Channel I/O | Dual bidirectional pins for detecting Rp/Rd resistances; determine cable orientation, attach/detach, and role per USB Type-C spec. |
| PORT | Tri-level Mode Select Input | H = DFP, L = UFP, NC = DRP - Sampled at power-on; sets fixed port behavior without runtime reconfiguration. |
| ADDR | Tri-level I²C Address Select | H = 0x61, L = 0x60, NC = GPIO mode - Enables dual-device I²C bus sharing or pin-strapped GPIO-only operation. |
| INT_N/OUT3 | Open-drain Interrupt/Output | In I²C mode: active-low interrupt on register change; in GPIO mode: audio accessory detect (L = detected). |
| SDA/OUT1 & SCL/OUT2 | Dual-function I/O | I²C data/clock when ADDR ≠ NC; open-drain outputs for current mode indication (UFP mode, GPIO only). |
| ID | Attachment Indicator Output | Open-drain output asserted low when CC detects attachment in DFP or DRP-as-source mode. |
| VBUS_DET | Analog VBUS Sense Input | Accepts 5–28 V system VBUS via 900 kΩ resistor; triggers valid attach confirmation after 2 ms debounce. |
| EN_N | Active-low Enable | Internally pulled up; must be held high ≥50 ms after VDD ramp for proper initialization. |

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 BMC; higher pin count (16-pin QFN); requires external VBUS FET control logic. | Required for USB Power Delivery negotiation; not needed for basic CC logic-only designs. | Select FUSB302BMPX only if PD messaging (e.g., voltage scaling, contract negotiation) is mandatory. |
| TPS65987D | Integrated USB PD controller + DC/DC converter; supports 20 V/5 A; includes embedded ARM Cortex-M0+. | Targets full-featured USB-C PD sink/source with programmable power delivery-not suitable for cost-sensitive CC-only use cases. | Choose TPS65987D when combining CC logic, PD policy engine, and power conversion in one chip is required. |
Compared with FUSB302BMPX and TPS65987D, the TUSB320RWBR provides minimal-footprint, low-power, CC-only functionality with zero firmware dependency-ideal for applications where USB PD is unnecessary but strict Type-C 1.1 CC compliance is mandatory.

FAQ
What is the function of the PORT pin on the TUSB320RWBR?
The PORT pin on the TUSB320RWBR is a tri-level input that configures the device's operational mode at power-on: pulled high to VDD selects Downstream Facing Port (DFP), pulled low to GND selects Upstream Facing Port (UFP), and left unconnected (NC) enables Dual Role Port (DRP) mode. This pin is sampled once during reset and remains latched until the next power cycle or I²C_SOFT_RESET, making TUSB320RWBR suitable for fixed-role or dynamically adaptable USB-C implementations without runtime firmware intervention.
Does the TUSB320RWBR support USB Power Delivery (PD) protocol negotiation?
No, the TUSB320RWBR does not support USB Power Delivery (PD) protocol negotiation. It implements only the USB Type-C Configuration Channel (CC) logic defined in USB Type-C Specification 1.1 for role detection, cable orientation, current mode advertisement (default/1.5 A/3 A), and VBUS monitoring. PD communication requires BMC signaling and a dedicated PD controller such as TI's TPS6598x series or ON Semiconductor's FUSB302 - the TUSB320RWBR is strictly a CC logic companion device.
How does the TUSB320RWBR handle audio accessory detection?
The TUSB320RWBR supports audio accessory detection in DFP and DRP modes through two methods: in GPIO mode (ADDR = NC), the INT_N/OUT3 pin asserts low upon detection; in I²C mode, the AUDIO_ACCESSORY_STATUS bit in the STATUS register indicates presence. This hardware-level detection enables immediate analog switch activation without host enumeration delay, making TUSB320RWBR ideal for USB-C-to-3.5 mm audio dongles and headsets requiring instant plug-and-play functionality.
What is the minimum VDD requirement to advertise 3 A current with the TUSB320RWBR?
The TUSB320RWBR requires VDD ≥ 3.5 V to advertise 3 A current mode. This is specified in the Electrical Characteristics table (Section 6.5, footnote 1): "VDD must be 3.5 V or greater to advertise 3 A current." Below 3.5 V, the device limits current advertisement to default (500 mA/900 mA) or medium (1.5 A) modes. This ensures sufficient gate drive for internal current sources and maintains USB Type-C specification compliance for high-current operation.
Can the TUSB320RWBR operate with legacy USB Type-C 1.0 devices?
The TUSB320RWBR is backward compatible with USB Type-C Specification 1.0 for DFP and UFP roles, but it cannot interoperate with USB Type-C 1.0 Dual Role Ports (DRPs) due to a documented backward compatibility limitation between USB Type-C 1.1 DFP and USB Type-C 1.0 DRP handshake timing. For systems requiring full 1.0 interoperability-including legacy DRP devices-TI recommends verifying physical layer timing margins or selecting alternative solutions with explicit 1.0 DRP support.
