Hardware
5.3.2 USB Type A Plug
The PSoC 5LP connects to the USB port of a PC through a USB type A plug (Figure 5-27). This plug
can also be used to power the board. A resettable polyfuse is used to protect the computer's USB
ports from shorts and overcurrent. If more than 500 mA is applied to the USB port, the fuse will auto-
matically break the connection until the short or overload is removed. The VBUS, D+, and D– lines
from the USB connector are also protected against ESD events using TVS diodes.
