Description

This reference design is an integrated USB Type-C® power delivery (PD) and charging reference design for 4- to 10-cell batteries for applications such as power tool chargers with a USB Type-C port, vacuum cleaners, portable power stations, and more.

The design incorporates the TPS25751 highly-integrated USB Type-C PD controller, which integrates a fully-managed robust power path switch inside to reduce size and external component. Configuring the power specification is easy, depending on the user’s application through a web-based GUI, thus reducing the design complexity. The PD controller works with the external battery charger controller BQ25756 through I2C communication. The BQ25756 supports a wide-range input with four-switch buck-boost configuration, and supports seamless transition from buck, boost, and buck-boost operation mode to provide a highly-efficient, highly-accurate, reliable charger. In addition to charging, the BQ25756 also support USB On-the-Go (OTG) mode with 5V, 9V, 15V, and 20V which is compatible with USB PD 3.0. This reference design can support charging batteries with maximum of 100W through a USB PD 3.0 compliance input source and provide a maximum 20V at 5A output in OTG mode. The high integration and simple design leads to lower BOM cost, a smaller size, and reduces time to market.
