Hi Team,
We would like to ask your help regarding our customer's inquiry below.
I am designing a USB-C 5V UFP (power sink) interface on my PCB. I know that 5.1K resistors on CC will allow this mode to activate. However, I am unsure how much protection circuitry is required (for example if I need to design a circuit that turns things off if VBUS goes to 20V because USB-C could go there if the host malfunctions). I also want to protect against ESD/high voltage transients.
Questions:
1. Is designing for the 20V case required?
2. Does the TPD4S014 handle this?
3. Since the TPD4S014 is out of stock, is there another replacement part?
4. Are protections against shorting needed - like VBUS and ground short?
Regards,
Danilo
