TPS65982-EVM: Evaluation of Type-C power suppliews/chargers using TPS65982-EVM

Part Number: TPS65982-EVM

Hi,

I need to develop a tester for Type-C power supplies/chargers manufactured by many manufacturers (Samsung, Pixel, Philips ...)

I have purchased TPS65982-EVM for that purpose and trying to configure some PS/Charger samples to provide 5V, 9V, 12V.

I have set the S1 switch to configuration #1 or #7 or #10 but I couldn't find 9V/12V on TP2 or TP3.
In some cases I have measured 1.67V on TP2/TP3 but NOT 9V or 12V although, the PS/Charger samples declare on high voltages (9V,12V) capabilities.

Can anybody tell me what is my fault?
Can you recommend on other solution for evaluation of Type-C PS/chargers?

Thanks,

Amos.

  • Hi Amos,

    The standard configurations on the TPS65982EVM will not work for this use case. You will need to load a configuration specific to the charging profile you want to select. You can do this by using the TPS6598x Applications Customization Tool.

    Thank you,

  • Hi Eric,

    Thank you very much for your prompt reply.

    I understand your answer but this suggested solution force me to turn into R&D mode and start the project from the basics which I prefer to skip on.

    Can you suggest a more straight forward, immediate solution for the purpose of Type C chargers (of different manufacturers) evaluation ?

    Thanks,

    Amos.

  • Hi Amos,

    Unfortunately, there is no easier way to accomplish this task. Once you start to use the Application Customization GUI, I ensure you it is not as difficult as it may seem. The GUI is quite intuitive and easy to use. You can even update all the necessary settings during run-time.

    Thank you,
    Eric
