Hello,
Hello Hezi,
I took a look at the hardware block diagram that you sent and have a few questions. How many USB Type C connections are you wanting to use? I see the "USB HUB" with a smart phone connection coming from it. I'm assuming this will be a Type C connection.
However, you also have these external USB ports. Were you also wanting to connect these external USB ports to the "USB HUB" via Type C PD?
Hi Adam,
We using just one type C connector.
From the USB HUB to the phone, all the rest connectors are type A USB connectors.
Hezi,
Since y'all are wanting to connect a phone, and have the ability to both power the device as well as transfer data, I do not believe the TPS25740 is a good choice. That device is intended for applications that are data-less (dedicated charging port, power bank, etc...). Since you are wanting to transfer data, you will need a multiplexer within the design to help detect to cable orientation and change the connections accordingly. The TPS25740 does not have this ability.
A part you may want to look at is the TPS65981. The part itself has an internal USB 2.0 MUX as well as GPIO control capabilities to be connected to a USB 3.0 MUX. This chip also gives you the ability to use Type-C PD alternate modes.
