SLLU149E June 2011 – February 2016 TUSB7320 , TUSB7340
Care should be taken during 'Bed of Nail' or 'In Circuit Test' so that a constant current source is not used to test continuity on the WAKE# pin. A negative current test is recommended as there is a ground diode on the device that will clamp the voltage at the WAKE# and CLKREQ# pins.
Avoid using a handheld multimeter to test continuity of the WAKE# and CLKREQ# pins. Many multimeters use a constant current source that could be as high as 1 mA which could expose WAKE# and CLKREQ# pins to the high voltage.
On running projects that are already in production, if the stress voltage on the WAKE# pin of TUSB7320
< 4.6 V when VDD33 is zero, there is no risk on the shipping platform.
On new projects in design or projects that are not in mass production yet, TI suggests ODMs adding a FET (make sure parasitic diode is reversed bias) and 10-kΩ pull up resistor on WAKE# to prevent overstress (see Figure 7-3). Also, due to an erratum on TUSB73x0, a 0.001-µF capacitor to ground is required on the WAKE# and CLKREQ# signals. The rise time must be greater than 450 ns. See the errata (SLLZ067) for a more detailed explanation.
In all projects going forward, do not use constant current during 'In Circuit Test'. If that is not possible, omit WAKE# and CLKREQ# pins from the 'ICT'.
