TPS25751: Can TPS25751D be used in a design that does not include a battery charger

Part Number: TPS25751

Tool/software:

Hi Power Management team, I have a customer that is developing a new USB-C source/sink design. They have given me some project details. In these details they are not planning to use a battery charger. They are just using the part for USB-C negotiations and power transfer. Their main question is whether the TPS25751D can be used in a design that does not include a battery charger. The datasheet heavily emphasizes battery charging applications and doesn't explicitly mention standalone power sources.

  • Hi Vincent, 

    Thank you for reaching out!

    The TPS25751 is optimized for DRP (Dual Role Power) applications and does not need to be paired with a battery charger. 

    What are their source and sink power requirements?

    Best Regards,
