2.1Port Power Control
This section details the usage of the port power control pins PRTCTL[3:2].
2.1.1Port Power Control Using a USB Power Switch
The LAN9512 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.
