On the AM64x SKEVM, USB 3.0 HOST interface is offered through USB Type-A Connector (692121030100) which supports a data rate up to 5Gbps. Super-speed differential signals from the Type-A connector are connected to the SERDES-0 block of the SoC through a choke and ESD protection device. USB2.0 Lines of the Type-A connector are directly interfaced to the USB0 port of the AM64x SOC. USB0_DRVVBUS from the SoC enables the 5-V power switch to provide VUSB_TYPEA supply used for the USB Type-A connector.
An ESD protection device meeting the USB 3.0 speed and capacitance specification is included on all USB3.0 Lines (TX_P, RX_P, TX_N, and RX_N) to dissipate ESD strikes. A common mode choke on USB data lines is provided for EMI/EMC. An ESD protection device with part number TPD4S012 is included to dissipate ESD strikes on USB2.0 DP/DM signals.
