TPS65981: Feeding USB PD controller with 20 V on power up, skipping USB PD negotiation

Part Number: TPS65981

Hi,

I used TPS65981 in the internal power supply topology of a board, that is connected to an external USB C PD power supply, and I am curious if I could offer a low cost version of the external power supply, using an ordinary 20 V power supply.

This offer would imply the injection of 20V in TPS65981 with no previous PD negotiation. Is it feasible?

Best wishes,

Newton Bomeisel Cardoso

  • Hi Newton,

    This is not feasible as it would violate the USB PD Specification. The TPS65981 is PD compliant and would not permit this behavior.

    Consider using TIDA-01602 for a low cost 20V power supply to compliant USB PD solution:
