MIC2551A
Power Supply Configuration
The MIC2551A can be set up for different power supply
configurations which modify the behavior of the device. Both
V
BUS
and V
IF
have special thresholds that detect when they
are either removed or grounded. Table 3 depicts the behavior
under the different power supply configuration scenarios that
are explained below.

Micrel
Signal Amplitude Respective to V
IF
When operating the MIC2551A, it is necessary to provide
input signals which do not exceed V
IF
+ 0.3V.
Suspend
When the suspend pin (SUS) is high, power consumption is
reduced to a minimum. V
TRM
is not disabled. RCV, V
P
and V
M
are still functional to enable the device to detect USB activity.
For minimal current consumption in suspend mode, it is
recommended that OE# = 1, and SPD = 0.
Speed
The speed pin (SPD) sets D+/D– output edge rates by increas-
ing or decreasing biasing current sources within the output
drivers. For low speed, SPD = 0. For full speed, SPD = 1. By
setting SPD = 0 during idle periods, in conjunction with suspend
(SUS), the lowest quiescent current can be obtained. However,
designers must provide a 300ns delay between changing SPD
from 0 to 1 and transmission of data at full speed. This delay
ensures the output drivers have arrived at their proper operating
conditions. Failure to do so can result in leading edge distortion
on the first few data bits transmitted.
External ESD Protection
The use of ESD transient protection devices is not required
for operation, but is recommended. We recommend the
following devices or the equivalent:

Non-Multiplexed Bus
In order to save pin count for the USB logic controller
interface, the MIC2551A was designed with V
P
and V
M
as bi-
directional pins. To interface the MIC2551A with a non-
multiplexed data bus, resistors can be used for low cost
isolation as shown in Figure 9.

V
BUS
is connected to the 5.0V USB bus voltage and V
IF
is
connected to a supply voltage in the range of 1.6V to 3.6V. In
this case V
TRM
supplies a 3.3V voltage for powering the
speed select resistor via V
PU
depending on the state of CON
pin.
Disconnect Mode
V
IF
is connected to a supply in a range of 1.6V to 3.6V and
V
BUS
is open or grounded. If V
BUS
is opened while transmit-
ting, the data lines (D+, D–) have sharing capability and may
be driven with external devices up to approximately 3.6V if
and only if SUSPEND is enabled (SUS = 1). With V
BUS
ground, D+, D– sharing mode is not permitted.
Disable Mode
V
BUS
is connected to the 5.0V USB bus voltage and V
IF
is
open. All logic controlled inputs become high impedances,
thus minimal current will be supplied by V
IF
if the input pins are
pulled up to an external source.
Alternate Power Supply Configuration Options
I/O Interface Using 3.3V
In systems where the I/O interface utilizes a 3.3V USB
controller, an alternate solution is shown in Figure 7. No extra
components are required; however, the load on V
TRM
must
not exceed 10mA.
