PRODUCTION DATA
The USB-PD physical layer implemented in the TPS25730 is compliant to the USB-PD Specifications. The encoding scheme used for the baseband PD signal is a version of Manchester coding called Biphase Mark Coding (BMC). In this code, there is a transition at the start of every bit time and there is a second transition in the middle of the bit cell when a 1 is transmitted. This coding scheme is nearly DC balanced with limited disparity (limited to 1/2 bit over an arbitrary packet, so a very low DC level). Figure 8-6 illustrates Biphase Mark Coding.
The USB PD baseband signal is driven onto the CC1 or CC2 pin with a tri-state driver. The tri-state driver is slew rate to limit coupling to D+/D– and to other signal lines in the Type-C fully featured cables. When sending the USB-PD preamble, the transmitter starts by transmitting a low level. The receiver at the other end tolerates the loss of the first edge. The transmitter terminates the final bit by an edge to ensure the receiver clocks the final bit of EOP.
