1 System Description

The integrated USB Type-C PD and charging reference design is a USB Type-C and PD controller system along with a battery charging system capable of 66-W sinking and up to 45-W sourcing. This reference design can support charging 2S to 4S batteries via a USB Type-C port, in addition to USB Type-C communication and power delivery negotiations.

This board features charging up to 18.8 V or 5 A, without the need for any external FETs. Furthermore, an external microprocessor is also not necessary as the USB-PD Controller handles the I2C communications to the battery charger IC to configure the appropriate functionality. Some examples include setting the charging voltage, charging current and configuring it for OTG Mode.
