8.1 Overview

The TS5USBC41 is a bidirectional low-power dual port, high-speed, USB 2.0 analog switch with integrated protection for USB Type-C systems. The device is configured as a dual 2:1 or 1:2 switch and is optimized for handling the USB 2.0 D+/- lines in a USB Type-C system as shown in Figure 16.

The TS5USBC41 also works in traditional USB systems that need protection from fault conditions such as automotive and applications that require higher voltage charging. The device maintains excellent signal integrity through the optimization of both R_ON and BW while protecting the system with 20 V (TS5USBC410) and 24 V (TS5USBC412) OVP protection. The OVP implementation is designed to protect sensitive system components behind the switch that cannot survive a fault condition where VBUS is shorted to the D+ and D- pins on the connector.
