PRODUCTION DATA.
For most systems, the PP5V terminal is supplied by a DC-DC converter. Typically, the capacitance placed on the output of the DC-DC converter is significant in order to handle current load steps. This capacitance value will be dependent on the DC-DC converter selected. A ceramic 10 uF (X7R/X5R) 10-V rated capacitor coupled with a 0.1-uF high frequency capacitor placed, is placed as close as possible to the PP5V terminal of the TPS6602x. This is in addition to the DC-DC converter required capacitance should be sufficient, but may need to be adjusted based on the specific application.
It should be noted that in many Type-C/PD systems, the VCONN supply is shared with the PP5V path. Therefore, in these systems, the application must budget the power requirements of the DC-DC converter for the VCONN and PP5V paths combined. For this example, a minimum of 5 V at 3.3 A is required to meet the defined system specifications.
