Guidelines for USB circuit design
The USB_D+ and USB_D- lines carry the USB serial data and signaling. The lines are used in single
ended mode for full speed signaling handshake, as well as in differential mode for high speed signaling
and data transfer.
USB pull-up or pull-down resistors and external series resistors on USB_D+ and USB_D- lines as
required by the USB 2.0 specification
are part of the module USB pin driver and do not need to be
externally provided.
☞
VUSB_DET functionality is not supported by all the TOBY-L2 series modules product versions: the
pin should be left unconnected or it should not be driven high (for more details, see section
☞
VUSB_DET pin is not available on MPCI-L2 series modules.
Routing the USB pins to a connector, they will be externally accessible on the application device.
According to EMC/ESD requirements of the application, an additional ESD protection device with very
low capacitance should be provided close to accessible point on the line connected to this pin, as
described in
☞
The ESD sensitivity rating of USB pins is 1 kV (HBM, as per JESD22-A114F). Higher protection level
could be required if the lines are externally accessible and it can be achieved by mounting a very
low capacitance (i.e. less or equal to 1 pF) ESD protection (e.g. Tyco Electronics PESD0402-140
ESD protection device) on the lines connected to these pins, close to accessible points.
The USB_D+ and USB_D- pins of the modules can be directly connected to the USB host application
processor without additional ESD protections if they are not externally accessible or according to
EMC/ESD requirements.

If the USB interface pins are not used, they can be left unconnected on the application board, but
it is recommended providing accessible test points directly connected to USB_D+ / USB_D- pins.
