TPS25730: Question about PLUG_EVENT

Part Number: TPS25730

Hello I'm Jaeho

I have som Question about PLUG_EVENT

If only VBUS power is applied to the IC and CC1 and CC2 are not connected,

How does PLUG_EVENT Level?
ex) High?? or Low??

  • Hi Jaeho, 

    Thank you for reaching out!

    How is VBUS being applied to the IC without a cable being present?

  • Only DC voltage is applied to VBUS.

    When it's a non-PD condition, I would like to know the level of PLUG_EVENT and SINK_EN pins.

  • Hi Jaeho, 

    The TPS25730 is a USB Type-C PD Controller, so it does not treat VBUS as a generic power input. Instead, VBUS is expected to be provided by a compliant Type-C or PD Source. Hot-plugging VBUS directly from an external DC/DC supply bypasses the Type-C PD protocol (For example, CC detection,  which includes plug detection and orientation).

    Could you elaborate on the use-case and why VBUS is being provided externally from DCDC? If you are looking for a way to keep the TPS25730 powered in the absence of VBUS, VIN3V3 would be the main power supply input.

  • Hello. Thanks for your help.

    There are two input sources in our Design concept.
    No1 ) DC-DC Power (5V / 12V)
    No.2) TA Chargers

    So in the case of No. 1,
    I would like to know the level of PLUG_EVENT and SINK_EN pins.

    Because we want to control the external circuit with that signal.

  • Hi Jaeho,

    In the first case, the TPS25730 will not detect a valid Type-C connection. PLUG_EVENT will be low and SINK_EN\ will be high indicating that the power path is disabled.
