TPS25750: SourcePDO* GPIO events (#7~#13)

Part Number: TPS25750
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TPS25751

Tool/software:

Hi:

I'm currently evaluating a sink-only design without USB d+/d- and USB BC support. But I need some clarification regarding SourcePDO* GPIO events (#7~#13).

1. Are there any typos in these descriptions [a]?

2. What is the relationship between SourcePDO[4..1]Contract (#7–#10) and SourcePDOContractBit[2..0] (#11–#13)?

* For example, if PDO1 is the contracted one, would SourcePDO1Contract be asserted while SourcePDOContractBit[2..0] becomes {Deassert, Deassert, Assert} simultaneously? (Values shown as { SourcePDOContractBit2, SourcePDOContractBit1, SourcePDOContractBit0 }).

3. (Follow up of 2.) If the contracted PDO# is greater than #4, is it only represented in SourcePDOContractBit[2..0]?

4. Can SourcePDO[4..1]Contract (#7–#10) and/or SourcePDOContractBit[2..0] (#11–#13) serve as active indicators for a specific sink PDO to enable a system load [b]?

[a] TPS25750 TRM
[b] GPIO event for when specific sink PDO negotiated

Best regards.

  • Hi Andy, 

    1. Thank you for highlighting these typos. Your understanding is correct. 

    2.  These GPIO events are typically used to enable the External DCDC output. The Source PDO Contract GPIOs (#7 - #10) are asserted high when a Source PDOx (x<= 4) has been negotiated, whereas the SourcePDOContractBit GPIOs (#11 - #13) use a binary encoded output to indicate when a Source PDOx has been negotiated (think of a truth table here). 

    3. Correct. For PDO # greater than 4, SourcePDOContractBit GPIOs should be used instead. 

    4. These GPIOs are asserted when the PD is behaving as a Source. They will not be asserted when the PD is behaving as a Sink. 

    I would also like to highlight our follow-on device, the TPS25751, recommended for new designs. Please see the following FAQ
