TPS25750: Sink Only Application 100W and use with TPS55289

Part Number: TPS25750
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS55289, BQ25731

We are considering using the TPS25750 in a sink only application, with 100W (5A 20V) PD. 

USB 3.2 only
Battery-less application powered from another USB Sink only port using the TPS25730D

1. Is it possible to use the TPS25750D in a 100W source application (DFP) using the internal power path?

2. is it possible to control the TPS55289 via I2C directly using the TPS55289 with no MCU?

    2.1 Do you have any examples?

    2.2 If possible can we use the online config. GUI? I cant see any way of doing so, if possible how?

3. Is this the best approach for a USB3.2 100W Source only USB-C port?

Another question for the same product but another application:

4. We have another source only port so above questions remain. But this port will be Displayport only, no USB, so we only need the FLIP function, is it possible to use the TPS25730D in a Displayport Only USB-C source application?

  • Hello!

    1. Is it possible to use the TPS25750D in a 100W source application (DFP) using the internal power path?

    TPS25750D is meant for sinking only. Not Sourcing. 

    2. is it possible to control the TPS55289 via I2C directly using the TPS55289 with no MCU?

    We currently support the BQ25731 not the TPS55289 for this part. 

    3. Is this the best approach for a USB3.2 100W Source only USB-C port?

    TPS65992 devices would be good choice for Source and Sink with USB3.2 support. 

    4. We have another source only port so above questions remain. But this port will be Displayport only, no USB, so we only need the FLIP function, is it possible to use the TPS25730D in a Displayport Only USB-C source application?

    TPS25750 does not support DP mode. 

    I think you will need to look into the TPS65992 device family. Request access using this link:

  • Hi Christodulos, 

    I am not sure about this being a sink only device, there are multiple references to sourcing and bidirectional power path in the datasheet. 

  • Terry,

    I did get confused. TPS25750D can support VBUS in both directions. 

    But TPS55289 is not currently supported. 

    Thanks,

    Chris

  • Ok no problem, 

    Since the initial post we have found that we have no need for the TPS55289 so are still interested in the TPS25750D so the questions remain:

    1. Is it possible to use the TPS25750D in a 100W source application (DFP) using the internal power path?

    2. We not intend to use this device in a USB compliant Displayport Alt-mode application, rather the intent is to have a displayport only USB-C port, with this in mind, is it possible to use this device to control a mux to flip the lanes. In my mind the TPS25750D will be oblivious to the fact that this is a display port application and will flip the mux depending on the orientation of the cable. 

     

  • 1. Is it possible to use the TPS25750D in a 100W source application (DFP) using the internal power path?

    Yes you can. 

    2. We not intend to use this device in a USB compliant Displayport Alt-mode application, rather the intent is to have a displayport only USB-C port

    This requires USB-PD protocol. USB-PD protocol means the need to send an Enter DisplayPort message and telling connected device what settings it supports. TPS25750D does not support this.
