TPS25832A-Q1:How should I connect with Carplay?

Part Number: TPS25832A-Q1

Tool/software:

Hello,

I want to create a USB charger module that can connect to the car's multimedia system and support CarPlay, but there are a few points I'm not sure about. Can you help me? I plan for the connections to be similar to the diagram below.

Q1-) What is your opinion on my connection schematic?

Q2-) I will connect the IC's power supply to the car's battery (9-16V, GND), and I plan to connect only the D+, D-, and GND pins to the multimedia system (H1 Harness). Are these pins suitable? Will not matching the Vcc-Vbus (5V) voltage between the multimedia system and the USB charger module cause a problem?

Q3-) Is it correct to take the Ground from the H1 cable harness? Because if the current flows through this cable instead of the main connector, I don't think this cable can handle it.

best regards

  • Hi Ömer,

    Q1-) What is your opinion on my connection schematic?

    Your block diagram generally looks correct.  You may want to consider a USB D+/D- redriver based on the distance from the CPU host to the consumer facing port.  I also don't see CC1/2 labeled from 832A-Q1 to the USB connector.  Will this be a Type-C or Type-A port?  Finally, you can delete the USB Power Load Switch since TPS25832A-Q1 will control VBUS.

    Q2-) I will connect the IC's power supply to the car's battery (9-16V, GND), and I plan to connect only the D+, D-, and GND pins to the multimedia system (H1 Harness). Are these pins suitable? Will not matching the Vcc-Vbus (5V) voltage between the multimedia system and the USB charger module cause a problem?

    That is all acceptable.

    Q3-) Is it correct to take the Ground from the H1 cable harness? Because if the current flows through this cable instead of the main connector, I don't think this cable can handle it.

    Include GND in H1 to ensure USB signal integrity.  It won't carry any significant current.  The GND current still goes through "main connector".
