TPS65987D: TPS65987D & TPS65988 Use As A Power-control Switch

Part Number: TPS65987D
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS65988, , TPS66020

Not having had the bandwidth yet to have read through and understand all of the TPS65987D & TPS65988 documentation, is it possible to make use of the IC as a simple on-off switch capable of handling bidirectional current flow of 5A at up to 20V? This is for a non-USB application with no CC signals, having no Type-C PD power negotiation. Are there "low level" control bits that would simply enable and disable the power path to turn on and off when commended to?

Hi Daniel,

In our portfolio, we have the TPS66020, but is not bidirectional, The high voltage power path is only for sink applications.

I would recommend looking through the Power Switch portfolio to see if their is a suitable device for you. If you find one that meets your needs, you can post another question here on the forums tagging the power switch device, and the relevant experts will be able to help you.
