TPS25751: besides PP5V for Vconn , can it also used to offer power to the outer device?

Part Number: TPS25751

Tool/software:

Hi,teams:

     i am a little confused about the usage of PP5V function. 

     Question1: the PP5V path support 3A current. does it intend to supply the VBUS device?

     Question2: if TPS25751D is config as a source, like 5V/1.5A output. the power path is from PPHV to VBUS or from PP5V to VBUS? 

     Question3:do have chance if  PP5V to VBUS and PPHV to VBUS  opens simultaneously?

thanks a lot.

  • Hi,

         Question1: the PP5V path support 3A current. does it intend to supply the VBUS device?

    Yes, PP5V can supply VBUS at 5-V when sourcing. It can support up to 3-A. It is only for 5-V sourcing, higher voltage sourcing would go through PPHV.

         Question2: if TPS25751D is config as a source, like 5V/1.5A output. the power path is from PPHV to VBUS or from PP5V to VBUS? 

    5-V can be sourced from both PP5V and PPHV. Only one is used at runtime, and the setting for which power path is used for 5-V is configurable in the GUI. 

    PP1 corresponds to PP5V, PP3 corresponds to PPHV.

    Question3:do have chance if  PP5V to VBUS and PPHV to VBUS  opens simultaneously?

    By default, both power paths will be open (non-conducting).

    If you are using PP5V for 5-V, and PPHV for higher voltages (i.e. 9-20-V), there may be a short period of time where both are closed and conducting when transferring between votlage levels.

    Thanks and Regards,

  • hi,

       if  there is a short period of time where both are conducting. do the PPHV  current  will flow to the PP5V and make the system confusion?

  • Hi,

    The PD controller will be fine, and it should be short enough that the system will stay stable.

    Thanks and Regards,
