SLUSCE3C October 2015 – August 2020 TPS2549-Q1
PRODUCTION DATA
Automotive USB port charging requires a voltage regulator to convert battery voltage to 5-V VBUS output. Because the VBUS, D+, and D– pins of a USB port are exposed, there is a need for a protection device that has VBUS overcurrent and D+ and D– ESD protection. An additional need is a charging controller with integrated CDP and DCP charging protocols on D+ and D– to support fast charging. A schematic of an application circuit with cable compensation is shown in Figure 9-1. An LMR14030 device is used as the voltage regulator, and the TPS2549-Q1 device is used as the charging controller with protection features.
Nowadays, automotive products have higher safety requirements; the exposed pins including VBUS / D+ / D- may also short to battery in real applications. More details can be learned through this application note: SLVAEI5. The TPS2549-Q1 has short to VBUS protection, but does not support short to battery protection. If short circuit to battery protection is needed, the TPS254900A-Q1 or TPS25830-Q1 are recommended options.
