The TPS65988 is a stand-alone USB Type-C and Power Delivery (PD) controller providing cable plug and orientation detection at the USB Type-C connector. Upon cable plug and orientation detection, the TPS65988 communicates on the CC line using the USB PD protocol. When cable detection and USB PD negotiation are complete, the TPS65988 enables the appropriate power path and configures external multiplexers and alternate mode settings.
This user guide describes how the TPS65988EVM can be used to test DisplayPort alternate mode as well as USB Data. This guide also contains testing procedures of DP alternate mode as well as various PD power configurations. The EVM is customizable through the TPS65988 Configuration Tool. Additionally, the EVM is equipped with a Future Technology Devices International® ( FTDI®) board and Aardvark connector to SPI or I2C interfaces for debugging and development.
