Using 5V Host Supply to Power USB Device Solution

Many solutions may to provide power to a USB device using the 5V provided over the cable from the Host without providing a separate power supply. To support cable powered USB device use cases, designers must be careful to ensure the total PCB BOM of the device does not exceed the current limitations of the USB Host as well as voltage drops over the cable.
The USB v2.0 specification, sections 7.1.2 and 7.3.2 provides information on current and voltage drop requirements expected to be supplied by a USB Host. If the total PCB BOM cannot meet the current and minimum voltage requirements of the specified host, the board can be powered with a separate power supply.

Resource Utilization

Gowin USB 2.0 Soft PHY IP can be implemented by Verilog. Its resource utilization may vary when the design is employed in different devices, or at different densities, speeds, or grades. Taking Gowin GW1NSR-4 and GW2AR-18 series of FPGA products as an instance, the resource utilization is as shown in Table 2-3 and Table 2-4.

Functional Description

USB 2.0 Soft PHY Block Diagram

In the RX, after USB serial data goes through IDES8, NRZI decoder, bit un stuffer, shift Reg modules in turn, USB RX data is received, and then the data transmits to the upper module through UTMI interface. In the TX, after receiving the data transmitted by UTMI and then going through shift Reg, bit stuffer, NRZI encoder to generate the serial TX data stream, which then is sent to the USB interface via OSER8.

USB 2.0 Soft PHY External Circuit Connection

USB 2.0 Soft PHY supports high speed mode (480Mbps) . When the USB 2.0 Soft PHY is used as a USB slave device, the external circuit connection is as follows.

R1:1.5K ohm
R2:0 ohm
R3:0 ohm
R4:42 ohm
R5:42 ohm
R6:1.8K ohm
R7: 75 ohm(1N Series)，56 ohm(2A Series)
C1:1uF

Note!

You can see the followings for the IO port attribute constraints of GW2A series of FPGA.
- usb dxp io: IO_TYPE= LVCMOS33D PULL_MODE= NONE DRIVE=4;
- usb term dn_o: IO_TYPE=LVCMOS33 PULL_MODE= NONE DRIVE=8;
- usb term dp_o: IO_TYPE=LVCMOS33 PULL_MODE=NONE DRIVE=8;

- usb rxdn i: IO_TYPE=LVDS25 PULL_MODE=NONE;
- usb rxdp i: IO_TYPE=LVDS25 PULL_MODE=NONE.
You can see the followings for the IO port attribute constraints of GW1N series of FPGA.

usb rxdp i: IO_TYPE=LVDS25 PULL_MODE=NONE.
All signals related to the USB interface on the FPGA are recommended to be placed in one Bank, using adjacent assignment, and powering the I/O Bank at 3.3V
It is required that usb dxp io differential exists and is not used for the adjacent differential pair in the same Bank. Taking GW1NSR-4 as an example, Figure 3-3 shows the GW1NSR-4 Pinout. If the usb dxp io differential pair is located at G5, H5 (i.e. IOR11A/IOR11B) in the diagram, it will cause the project to report an error when implementing synthesis and layout with Gowin Software, as the adjacent differential pin IOR10A/IOR10B does not exist. If usb dxp io differential pair is located at G6/H6 (i.e. IOR3A/IOR3B), the project will synthesize and layout successfully with Gowin Software, as the adjacent differential pair exists.
