TPS65982: TPS65982 Application Questions

Part Number: TPS65982
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS65981, PMP40154, , TPS65983B

Hi there,

I have a customer who is very interested in our USB Type-C PD solutions and has some questions as below:

1. Is there any document that shows the difference among TPS65981/2/3/6?

2. Which device would be the best fit for PD3.0 support and 60W charging?

3. For USB Type-C to HDMI conversion, I found a TI Design that fulfills this task: 

  Is that the best way for this objective?

Thank you!

Best regards,

Roy Hsu

  • Hi Roy,

    1. TPS65981 is a 8x8 QFN version of the TPS65982 with a few less GPIO pins. TPS65982 is the full featured Type-C PD Controller that support PD2.0. TPS65983B is only for thunderbolt devices following the intel reference designs, the 83B supports PD3.0. The TPS65986 is similar to the TPS65982 but the 86 does not support the external power path.

    2. Only the TPS65983B supports PD3.0 but this device is only for use with Intel reference designs.

    3. The TIDA-03027 also completes type-C to HDMI conversion. You can refer to it at the following link: www.ti.com/.../TIDA-03027

    Thank you,

  • Hi Eric,

    When you say "Only the TPS65983B supports PD3.0 but this device is only for use with Intel reference designs.", does that mean this device is not suitable for applications which are not following the Intel reference designs?

    Could you also point out the specific Intel reference designs that you're referring to?

    Thank you!

    Best regards,

  • Hi Roy,

    The TPS65983B should only be used with Intel Reference designs. Intel has reference designs for both hosts and devices that are using the TPS65983B. I cannot share details on those designs, you will need to reach out to Intel to review those designs.

    Thank you,
    Eric
