Port Power Control
This section details the usage of the port power control pins PRTCTL[5:2].
2.1.1
Port Power Control Using a USB Power Switch
The LAN9514/LAN9514i has a single port power control and over-current sense signal for each
downstream port. When disabling port power the driver will actively drive a ‘0’. To avoid unnecessary
power dissipation, the internal pull-up resistor will be disabled at that time. When port power is enabled,
the output driver is disabled and the pull-up resistor is enabled, creating an open drain output. If there
is an over-current situation, the USB Power Switch will assert the open drain OCS signal. The schmitt
trigger input will recognize this situation as a low. The open drain output does not interfere. The
overcurrent sense filter handles the transient conditions, such as low voltage, while the device is
powering up.
