MIC2551
Application Information
Power Supply Configuration
The MIC2551 can be set up for different power supply
configurations which modify the behavior of the device. Both
VBUS and VIF 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.
Normal Mode
VBUS is connected to the 5.0V USB bus voltage and VIF is
connected to a supply voltage in the range of 1.6V to 3.6V. In
this case VTRM supplies a 3.3V voltage for powering the
speed select resistor via VPU depending on the state of the
CON pin.
Disconnect Mode
VIF is connected to a supply in a range of 1.6V to 3.6V and
VBUS is open or grounded. If VBUS 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 VBUS
ground, D+, D– sharing mode is not permitted.
Disable Mode
VBUS is connected to the 5.0V USB bus voltage and VIF is
open. All logic controlled inputs become high impedances,
thus minimal current will be supplied by VIF 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 VTRM must
not exceed 10mA.

Signal Amplitude Respective to VIF
When operating the MIC2551, it is necessary to provide input
signals which do not exceed VIF + 0.3V.
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 MIC2551 was designed with VP and VM as bi-
directional pins. To interface the MIC2551 with a non-multi-
plexed data bus, resistors can be used for low cost isolation
as shown in Figure 8.
