TPS25740 compability testing

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS25740, TPS65982, TPS25740A

Hi :

  We are using TPS25740 as a power source product , now we are testing with TPS65982 EVM board with different setting, the output is OK, we also test the Apple adaptor(A1540) with TPS65982 EVM, the output is 14.5V when TPS65982 setting config ID #1,  but only can output 5V in others different config ID, So we are worried our product with TPS25740 only can output 5V/3A with other devices (like Macbook pro/Google Pixel), could you help to let us know did TI test the compability with different  PD function devices in the market ?

Thanks

  • Hi

    Thank you for considering TI devices in your design, I wanted to bring to your attention that there is a section (Test Results) in the TPS25740 Evaluation Module users' guide content about testing, please find the link below:

    http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/slvuap7a/slvuap7a.pdf

    In this section you can find different tests conducted on TPS25740 with waveforms showing output voltage transitions 5-V, 12-V, and 20-V, also showing plugging/unplugging  MacBook as UFP, we are currently in the phase of testing market released products as few are available today.

    You can also order the TPS25740 Evaluation Module via the link below to do testing for your specific application.

    Thank you again for considering TI devices and please do not hesitate to post any question or questions you may still have.

  • Hi Haidar:
    Thanks for your prompt reply, appreciate it.
    According the TPS25740 Evaluation Module users' guide, it can output 12V with MacBook even the Macbook's adaptor PD is 5V/14.5V
    We are worried if Macbook require 14.5V, TPS25740 setting is 5V/12/V/20V. it only can output 5V
    Anyway ,We will keep testing and let you know the result , please feel free to let us know how can I get if TI update the testing data with different PD devices ?

    Thanks
    Best regards

  • Hi
    Your are very welcome, I wanted also to bring to your attention that we have another device that might best fits you application needs which is the TPS25740A, this devcie uses the same Evaluation Module of the TPS25740 but the TPS24740A outputs 5V/9V/15V which is better suited for MacBook requirment of 14.5V. Please find link below for TPS25740A datasheet along with Evaluation Module :
    www.ti.com/.../tps25740a.pdf

    www.ti.com/.../slvuap7a.pdf

    Also updates to both TPS25740 and TPS25740A online datasheets and other TI USB Type-C PD devices will continue as new tests results become available. Thank you again for considering TI devices and please do not hesitate to post any question or questions you may still have.

  • Hi Haidar :

      Thanks for your information , we do check the TPS25740A and testing it since it's pin to pin of TPS25740.

    now we have the problem is our client want the product can support the all PD devices in the market with maximum power output, not just 5V/3A

    the below is the product list, it looks there is no a perfect solution for this ,right ?

    (1) If we choose the TPS25740A, it only support setting 5V/9V/15V , it means the 20V notebook can't support.

    (2) no matter TPS25740 or TPS25740A, according our support , if the notebook setting is 14.5V , it only output 5V

    Could you let's know any solution for this ?

  • Hi
    Sorry for the late reply, but I have forwarded your questions to our design, application, and system engineers to address them. We are currently working on releasing new devices targeting USB Type-C PD 5V-20V/ 5A in addition of supporting Alternative mode and this is all I can share with you up to this moment. As you mentioned with your question, you guys are testing with TI TPS65982EVM and device which also Supports USB Type-C PD but TPS65982 may not be cost-effective for your application and that's why we are working on newer inexpensive devices .
    As for TPS25740A not charging MacBook of 14.5V, could you please share more information about this issue so we can help with it?
    Again thank you for considering TI devices in your design and I will get back to you as soon as I hear back from our team.
    Best,
    Haidar
  • Hi
    Just wanted to share with you that using TPS25740AEVM you can charge Chromebook C1501W laptop @15V/3A, so devices (sinks) with higher than 15V sinking capability (20V like the Chromebook) can be charged with a lower voltage using TPS25740A, again thank you for considering TI parts and please do not hesitate to post any question or question you may still have.
    Best,
