SLVSDJ5D August 2016 – January 2018 TPS25741 , TPS25741A
UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, this document contains PRODUCTION DATA.
When first powered up, the TPS25741/TPS25741A will not enable GDNG if the voltage on VBUS is already above its UVLO. This is a protective measure taken to avoid the possibility of turning on while connected to another active power supply in some non-compliant configuration.
This means that the VBUS pin must be connected between the power-path NFET and the USB connector. This also allows for a controlled discharge of VBUS all the way down to the required voltage on the connector (refer to USB Power Delivery in Documentation Support).
