Power distribution for external USB plug-in peripherals (USB memory sticks, cameras, keyboards, mice, etc.) is
typically handled by USB power switches such as the Texas Instruments TPS2052B, Micrel MIC2026-1 or similar
devices on the Carrier board. The Enable pin on the Carrier board USB power switch must be active – high and the
Over-Current pin (OC#) must be open drain, active low (these are commonly available). No pull-up is required on
the USB power switch Enable or OC# line; they are tied together on the Carrier and fed to the Module
USBx_EN_OC# pin. The pull-up is on the Module.
