USB-PD-CHG-EVM-01: Inquire about board testing

Part Number: USB-PD-CHG-EVM-01
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: USB2ANY

Tool/software:

Hello,

My customer wants to test USB-PD-CHG-EVM-01 after purchasing it.

Q1. There is a USB2ANY Header. What is it for? Is it correct to use the product in the link below?

        https://www.ti.com/tool/USB2ANY?keyMatch=&tisearch=search-everything&usecase=hardware

Q2. If you look at the USB-PD-CHG-EVM-01 bring up video, the Power DUO source board was used. Does the customer have to use this board? Or is it okay if they test it using a regular PD charger?

Thank you.

JH

  • Hi JH,

    Regarding Q1, you can directly communicate with the charger using USB2ANY and TI-charger GUI instead of relying on the PD controller being the I2C host.

    Regarding Q2, no.  The EVM can be powered by any USB PD source.

    Regards,
