PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS2585x-Q1 is full-featured solution for implementing a compact USB charging port with support for both Type-C and BC1.2 standards. Both devices contain an efficient buck regulator power source. For single Type-C port, the TPS2585x-Q1 is capable of providing 3.4 A of output current at 5.1 V (nominal), which is 3 A for Type-C port, 200 mA for OUT pin, and 200 mA for VCONN power. The TPS2585x-Q1 is an automotive-focused USB charging controller, to offer a robust solution, TI recommends to add adequate protection (TVS3300 equivalent or better but auto quality) on IN pin to protect systems from high power transients or lightning strikes.
System designers can optimize efficiency or solution size through careful selection of switching frequency in the range of 200 kHz–2400 kHz with sufficient margin to operate above or below the AM radio frequency band. TPS2585x-Q1 protects itself with internal thermal sensing circuits that monitor the operating temperature of the junction and disables operation if the temperature exceeds the Thermal Shutdown threshold, so in high ambient temperature application, the 3.4-A output current capability is not assured. In the TPS2585x-Q1, the buck regulator operates in forced PWM mode, ensuring fixed switching frequency regardless of load current. Spread-spectrum frequency dithering reduces harmonic peaks of the switching frequency, potentially simplifying EMI filter design and easing compliance.
Current sensing through a precision FET current sense amplifier on USB port enables an accurate, user programmable over-current limit setting, and programmable linear cable compensation to overcome IR losses when powering remote USB ports.
TPS2585x-Q1 includes a TS input for user programmable thermal protection using a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) resistor. The TPS25855-Q1 has THERM_WARN flag to indicate the NTC temperature is warm before it enters the temperature hot range.
Both devices can support the USB Type-C protocol, and also support the legacy Battery Charging Specification Rev 1.2 (BC1.2) DCP mode with auto-detect feature to charge not only BC1.2 compliant hand-held devices but also popular phones and tablets that incorporate their own propriety charging algorithm. The TPS2585x-Q1 also supports USB cable polarity detection and fault condition detection.
