TPS65983B: Is there a dedicated USB Billboard device IC present? If so, is there any evaluation board associated with it?

Part Number: TPS65983B
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS65981

Hello!

I am working on a design to implement a USB dongle, where I require a USB billboard device to detect any faults in alternate modes. Does TI manufacture any USB billboard device? I am aware of the

TPS65983B USB Type C-PDIC, but due to design constraints I will not be using it.

So are there any USB billboard device ICs I can use? does it come with an EVAL board to flash my firmware into it?

Any suggestions regarding them will be of great help!

Thanks in advance!!

Regards.

  • Hi Vasuki,

    Welcome to E2E! The TPS65983B is only used for Thunderbolt 3 reference designs by Intel. If you're not building a thunderbolt system, then the TPS65983B is NOT recommended. I would recommend the TPS65981.

    Also, we have tons of USB-C/PD resources available at  http://www.ti.com/product/TPS65981/technicaldocuments. Technical Reference Manual, GUI Customization Tool, etc.) You will be able to flash the firmware to our EVM boards using a standard project template or by customization one of the standard project templates. I hope this helps :-)
