About TPS65982

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS65982

Dear Sirs

My customer uses TPS65982 for thunderbolt application.

Customer have two question as follow:

1.Could TI provide FW file about AR (30V/3A sink application)?

2. Could TI provide reference circuit about TPS65982 (only use internal MOS application)?

Thanks

BRS

  • Hi Nat,

    Thank you for your questions.

    For your first question, our configuration tool does not allow for a FW image with a sink PDO greater than 20V. A few reasons for this:

    • The USB PD specification does not support higher than a 20V contract therefore the 30V/3A sink PDO would never be negotiated
    • A custom USB-C cable would need to be built that supports that voltage and has an e-marker chip to identify that it can support that PDO
    • Finally, there are physical limitations on the power switches within the TPS65982, they are voltage tolerant to 24V per the current revision of the datasheet

    Additionally, I am unaware of a Thunderbolt host side application that would source 30V/3A. Did you happen to mean 20V/3A?

    In regards to your second question, we have two reference circuits using the TPS65982, a Type-C Dock Reference Design and the TPS65982-EVM (also a reference design). Can you please confirm if by internal MOS application you mean only using the integrate power paths?

    Regards,
    Karl

    Sorry i modify my question:

    1.Could TI provide FW file about AR (20V/3A sink application)?

    2. Could TI provide reference circuit about TPS65982 (only use internal MOS application)?
