TPS65982: Configuration Tool Missing Options

Part Number: TPS65982
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LM3489, , HD3SS460, TPS65981EVM

Hello,

For the variable DC-DC, we are doing it the GPIO way according to ‘TPS65982+LM3489 Variable DC-DC Converter for "Power Rules" Voltages’ (SLVA782)

For the TPS65982 software, it looks like there is no ‘default’ firmware that does the ACE GPIO variable DC-DC functionality. I have been attempting to build a simple firmware from the closest baseline firmware design (TPS65982_HD3SS460_DFP) and essentially mimic the ACE GPIO functionality according the above app note.

In the ‘Transmit Source Capabilities, I have set 5 as the ‘Number of Source PDOs’.

  • Source PDO 1: PP_5V, 3A max, 5V voltage, Fixed Source Supply Type
  • Source PDO 2: PP_HV, 3A max, 9V voltage, Fixed Source Supply Type
  • Source PDO 3: PP_HV, 3A max, 12V voltage, Fixed Source Supply Type
  • Source PDO 4: PP_HV, 3A max, 15V voltage, Fixed Source Supply Type
  • Source PDO 5: PP_HV, 3A max, 20V voltage, Fixed Source Supply Type

In the ‘GPIO Event Map’

  • GPIO #0: Source PDO0 Negotiated
  • GPIO #1: Source PDO1 Negotiated
  • GPIO #2: Source PDO2 Negotiated
  • GPIO #3: Source PDO3 Negotiated
  • GPIO #6: Plug Event
    • There is no PDO4 or PDO5

I am going to assume there is a ‘off-by-one’ typo within the program since the dropdown menus don’t exactly match?

Thanks for the help!

  • Hi Ryan,

    Are you looking for the "Source PDO Negotiated Truth Table"  events? If so, they are slightly renamed in the latest version of the configuration tool.

    You could use the Truth Table LSB and Truth Table Bit 2 events to do the 5V, 9V, 15V, & 20V PDOs just like on the TPS65981EVM. If you also use the third bit in the truth table, you could add the 12V PDO as well. However, per the latest PD spec, only 5,9,15,& 20 are the standardizes PD voltages so it is not required to support 12V unless your application calls for it.

    You can refer to the TPS6598-1-EVM and User's Guide to create the same power circuitry using the truth table bits: 

    Thank you,
