TPS65988DK: Need applications info for TPS65988DK

I have the same issue and questions regarding changing from the CY7C65219 to the TPS65982DMC.

Thanks, Raymond.  I'll do my best to correlate pin functionality between the two manufacturers.  I found many of the pin descriptions in the datasheet to be hard to interpret.  This is for a Gatkex Creek based design, 0W to UFP, 15W to DFP.  Could you provide a link to download the tools?  Thanks.

Hi Chris,

I'll loop in someone from our Product Marketing team to assist you with tool installation. 

Thanks and Regards,

Thanks, very much!

Hi Chris,

Happy to help here. Please submit a request at the link below for the info you need. I will grant you access. Also, just an FYI, we are on Intel's Gorilla Creek reference design. I recommend requesting and following that reference design over the Gatkex Creek reference design that leverages the CYPD you mentioned.

Thanks, Matthew.  We chose Gatkex Creek after detailed discussions with Intel.  They recommended against Gorilla Creek.  The design is basically already done so it's too late anyway.  It's got one UFP and one DFP plus a PCIe connector.  That's it for ports.  We don't need Delta bridge, ethernet, SD card interfaces, etc.  0W to UFP, 15W to DFP. 

I see that Gorilla Cr has nice symbols for the TPS65988DK and TPS65982DMC.  That'll be extremely helpful in migrating from Cypress to TI.  I'll definitely need a design review in the next few weeks before it enters layout.  Hopefully your team can spare the resources.  Thanks again.

Understood. In that case you would still want to leverage Gorilla Creek at least for the PD portion. Like you mentioned there is useful material and documentation regarding our FW BKC, etc. I will be on the look out for your request for 988DK material.

Hi Matthew/Raymond,

the 3Q20 Dev Conf newsletter mentions, "GUI Video Walkthroughs of Gorilla Creek TPS65988DK implementation".  However, of the 19 related secure TBTDEVICE-DESIGN files shared with me, none includes a video walkthrough.  Could you please point me to the file? 

Also, who can I work with to get a schematic design review (ASAP) before layout?  Thanks.

Hi Chris,

I'm not sure which file you are referring to unfortunately, can you clarify what you mean by 3Q20 Dev Conf newsletter? As Raymond mentioned and linked above, we do have a GUI tutorial on our website that can help you getting started.

As for the schematic design review, I have notified our applications team who will be reaching out to assist you.

Thanks

Hi Chris,

Looping in Brandon from our Apps team to support your design review, can you provide the schematic? 

Thanks and Regards,
