SPRUJ86C October 2023 – August 2024 AM263P4 , AM263P4-Q1
The AM263Px Control Card can be powered through a USB Type-C connection. The USB Type-C source is capable of providing 3A at 5V and advertises the current sourcing capability through the CC1 and CC2 signals. On this EVM, the CC1 and CC2 from the USB Type-C connector are interfaced to the port controller IC (TUSB320LAIRWBR). This device uses the CC pins to determine port attach/detach, cable orientation, role detection, and port control for Type-C current mode. The CC logic detects the Type-C current mode as default, medium, or high depending on the role detected.
The Port pin is pulled down to ground with a resistor to configure the IC in upward facing port (UFP) mode. VBUS detection is implemented to determine a successful attach in UFP mode. The OUT1 and OUT2 pins are connected to a NOR gate. Active low on both the OUT1 and OUT2 pins advertises high current (3A) in the attached state which enables the load switch (TPS22965DSGT) to provide the VBUS_MAIN supply which powers other regulators that create the power rails for the device.
In UFP mode, the port controller IC constantly presents pull-down resistors on both CC pins. The port controller IC also monitors the CC pins for the voltage level corresponding to the Type-C mode current advertisement by the connected DFP. The port controller IC de-bounces the CC pins and waits for VBUS detection before successfully attaching. As a UFP, the port controller device detects and communicates the advertised current level of the DFP to the system through the OUT1 and OUT2 GPIOs.
The power requirement of the AM263Px Control Card is 5V at 3A. If the source is not capable of providing the required power, then the output at the NOR gate becomes low that disables the VBUS_MAIN power switch. Therefore, if the power requirement is not met, all power supplies except VSYS_TA_3V3 remains in the off state. The board gets powered on completely only when the source can provide 5V at 3A.
OUT1 | OUT2 | Advertisement |
---|---|---|
H | H | Default current in unattached state |
H | L | Default current in attached state |
L | H | Medium current (1.5A) in attached state |
L | L | High current (3.0A) in attached state |
The AM263Px Control Card includes a power supply based on a Power Management Integrated Chip (PMIC) for each of the power rails. During the initial stage of the power supply, 5V supplied by the Type-C USB connector is used to generate all of the necessary voltages required by the PMIC and subsequently the rest of the board via the PMIC LDO outputs. For more information about the PMIC, refer to Section 2.2.5.
