SLVUB62B June 2017 – November 2020
The TPS65988EVM has two full feature USB Type-C receptacles (port A/B) and routes VBUS, SSTX and SSRX pairs, SBU1 and SBU2 pairs, and D+ and D– signals. The TPS65988 device can be used in self-powered and bus-powered configurations for added flexibility. When self-powered, the EVM can provide up to 60 W (20 V, at 3 A) of power per port via the internal high voltage power path. The EVM is also capable of sinking 100 W (20 V, at 5 A) of power via the external power path. The internal power path is used for sourcing power and the external power path is used for sinking power. Figure 5-23 and Figure 5-24 highlight these features.
