TPS25730: Enabling buck converters (TPS565201 and TPS563201) when VBUS power is good

Part Number: TPS25730
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS565201, TPS563201,

Tool/software:

I need to update the design for a device that requires 15V at 20W:

The design currently uses the NRND AP3371 to negotiate PD 15V at 20W
POWEN (AP3371 pin23) is connected to EN of two buck converters (TPS565201 pin5 and TPS563201 pin5)
power from VBUS does not connect to any other circuits

I am considering switching to TI for this part (as I have done with most other parts). I have two questions:

Can you recommend which output from the TPS25730 I should use to control the buck converter?
Is there a different simple TI part for USB sink PD in TSSOP or similar package? CH224K-style package has advantages for me.

Hi Lippold,

When are you expecting the EN pin of the buck converters to be set?

The TPS25730 is limited to the GPIOs available in the datasheet. Some options are to tie the Enable pins to PPHV, the system side of the VBUS rail or to use the PLUG_EVENT or !SINK_EN pins.

Unfortunately, we do not have a USB-C PD part in the TSSOP package.

Thanks and Regards,

Chris

Thanks! I think I will use a resistor divider on VBUS to activate the enable when 15V is present.
