44.13 USB Characteristics

The USB on-chip buffers comply with the Universal Serial Bus (USB) v2.0 standard. All AC parameters related to these buffers can be found within the USB 2.0 electrical specifications.

The USB interface is USB-IF certified :
  • TID 40001708 - Peripheral Silicon > Low/Full Speed > Silicon Building Blocks
Electrical configuration required to be USB-compliant:
  • the performance level must be PL2 only
  • the CPU fequency must be higher 8MHz when USB is active (No contrain for USB suspend mode)
  • the operating voltages must be 3.3V (Min. 3.0V, Max. 3.6V).
  • the GCLK_USB frequency accuracy source must be less than:
    • in USB device mode, 48MHz +/-0.25%
Table 44-49. GCLK_USB Clock Setup Recommendations
Clock setup USB Device
DFLL48M Open loop No
Close loop, Ref. internal OSC source No
Close loop, Ref. external XOSC source Yes
Close loop, Ref. SOF (USB recovery mode)(1) Yes(2)
FDPLL internal OSC (32K, 8M…) No
external OSC (<1MHz) Yes
external OSC (>1MHz) Yes(3)
Note:
  1. When using DFLL48M in USB recovery mode, the Fine Step value must be Ah to guarantee a USB clock at +/-0.25% before 11ms after a resume. Only usable in LDO regulator mode.
  2. Very high signal quality and crystal less. It is the best setup for USB Device mode.
  3. FDPLL lock time is short when the clock frequency source is high (> 1 MHz). Thus, FDPLL and external OSC can be stopped during USB suspend mode to reduce consumption and guarantee a USB wakeup time (See TDRSMDN in USB specification).
