USB Device Port (xPico Wi-Fi Units Only)
The xPico Wi-Fi embedded device server has one USB2.0 Full Speed Device port
interfaces for connection to an upstream USB device. The port consists of a differential
pair, signals DDP and DDM. These signals should be routed as a 90 ohm differential pair
on a signal layer next to the signal ground plane. The use of vias should be minimized
on these signals. The USB signals can be connected to a USB Mini Type B USB port (as
shown in
Table 2-12
) directly to an IC with a USB host port. If connecting to an external
port that is user accessible it is recommended to add a TVS diode array to the signal nets
for ESD protection. The ESD array shown in the figure is of type Semtech
RCIamp0502A. This device features through pin routing to minimize trace impedance
changes and simplify routing. The footprint for the TVS array can be added to the PCB
and the part can be depopulated if it is not needed. It is recommended that the power
drawn off the USB Mini Type B connector be limited to less than 500mA per USB
requirements. If the USB device port is unused the DDP and DDM pins may be left
unconnected.
