TPD8S300A: Can I use SBU1/SBU2 OVP pins to protect another set of CC pins?

Part Number: TPD8S300A

Hi.

We have an USB C PD dock application which have two USB C ports (one connected to the charger).

CC1/CC2 have been used for one port, can we use  SBU1/SBU2 to protect another port's CC pin if Vconn is not used?

If SBU1/SBU2 can be used to protect CC pins, can we connect RPD_G1/RPD_G2 to SBU1/SBU2 to provide dead battery functionality? 

Regards

Steven.

    Hi Steven, 

    Thank you for reaching out!

    You may use SBUx to protect CCx, but you cannot achieve dead battery functionality if you connect  RPD_G1/RPD_G2 to SBU1/SBU2. This is because there are FETs in series with Rd (see image below).

     

    Please let me know if you have additional questions.

    Best Regards, 

    Aya
