Hi Chris,
Our TPS65988DK PD controller is actually meant for USB4 and TBT4 docking hub applications. This device can also be found on some of Intel's docking reference designs and we recommend following those designs when implementing this PD controller.
Thanks,

Hello Matt - Thanks for the quick reply. You mentioned Intel's docking reference designs, can you send me a link to such designs so I can study them? Also, is there a field applications engineer I can speak to on the phone for additional questions, or is the online forum the best way to get technical support? Thank you, Chris
Hi Chris,
Accessing these designs unfortunately does require you to create an account and get an NDA with Intel, so I cannot provide a link for you here. Also, The online forum is the most efficient way to get your questions answered consistently and timely. Can I ask what product you are developing?
Thanks,
Matt Schafer
Hello Matt - can you provide the intel link that will allow me to register on their site and get an NDA in place? I would like to obtain access to their reference designs but I am not sure of the exact Intel website to use. The product we are developing is a USB interface cable that connects a communications radio to a cell phone. Thank you, Chris
You can try their developer's portal here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/programs/overview.html#gs.2bnf5j
But it may be best to reach out to someone at Intel for this information. Sorry I could not be of better help.
Thanks,
Matt Schafer
