HD3SS3220: Eval board?

Part Number: HD3SS3220
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS65987, HD3SS3212, HD3SS3202

Hi guys,

My customer plans on using the TPS65987 PD Controller and is ordering it's respective eval board. The product will be dual role port, so I will also suggest the HD3SS3220 mux. Is there any sort of eval board for this part? The EVM on the product page is the mini-dock design, which is over complicated and redundant with most of the TPS65987 EVM.

Thanks,

Brian 

  • Hello,
    I am confused, the TPS65987 and the HD3SS3220 both have a CC controller in the device. You cannot use both CC controllers at the same time so i would not use the TPS65987 and the HD3SS3220 on the same type C port. The HD3SS3212 is the HD3SS3220 without the CC controller. You can also use the HD3SS3202 and it has an EVM online.
  • I am sorry , I miss-typed. You had just, on another post, just suggested the HD3SS3212 and that is the part I meant I wanted to suggest. The HD3SS3212 doesnt have an EVM, just the mini-dock design, which is overkill and redundant to the PD controller EVM.

    I think my customer would prefer a part they can order a board for, so would you then suggest the 3202 instead of the 3212?

    Thanks,
    Brian
  • Hello,
    The HD3SS3212 and the HD3SS3202 will have the same performance in your application. The biggest difference between the the HD3SS3202 and the HD3SS3212 is that the 3202 has a smaller package than the 3212 . So you can get the HD3SS3202 EVM if you can use a board that has the SMP connectors. www.ti.com/.../hd3ss3202evm
