Part Number: TUSB8044
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS65987D,

Hi,

I plan to use TPS65987D and TUSB8044.

I have 3 questions.

1. I want to implement the 4 downstream connectors.

Is it possible that TUSB8044 have 1 upstream and 5 downstream(including Billboad device)

2. Would you tell me how to write software to TUSB8044?

3. Would you tell me your recommend connection between TPS65987D and TUSB8044.

Best Regards,

Dear TI engineer.

I would be grateful if you could let us have your answer concerning this matter.

In order:
1. You can use 4 downstream connectors in addition to the billboard.

2. For this question, if you are using I2C/External EEPROM, see section 8.3.3 in the datasheet. If you are using SMBUS host, see section 8.4.4

3. See section 9.2.1.2.6 for the recommended connection to a power switch. The main points are that the TUSB8044 overcurrent pins should be
connected to a GPIO pin configured to function in an equivalent way to a fault pin. The battery enable pins should be connected to GPIO pins configured to function as an enable pin.

Let me know if there is anything else you need.

Dear Gerasimos

Thank you.
Would you tell me which EEPROM programming tool I should use?
