SLVSDC2C February 2016 – August 2021 TPS65981
PRODUCTION DATA
The TPS65981 features an I2C slave port, where a system controller has the ability to write to the I2C slave port. The I2C port has an I2C interrupt that will inform the system controller that a change has happened in the system. This allows the system controller to dynamically budget power and reconfigures a port’s capabilities dependent on current state of the system. The system controller is also used for updating the TPS65981 firmware over I2C, where a connected host or the application processor loads the Firmware update to the system controller and then the system controller updates firmware stored in the SPI Flash memory via I2C writes to the TPS65981. In a dock or monitor application, the video scalar is commonly a processor and the I2C master capable of acting as the system controller for the TPS65981.
