USB charger chip selection (TPS2511/TPS2543/TPS2546)

TPS2546: Remote panel dual USB 2.0 charging device

Part Number: TPS2546

Hi,

I have a remote panel with 2 USB ports.

The USB2.0 port hub is located on the main board and already has current limiting devices providing 1.16-1.74A to each remote USB rail.

I would like to add something like the TPS2546 to the remote rail.

I do not have additional signals to enable or detect faults. Auto detection of charging mode would be ideal.

USB 2.0 communication would need to remain functional (unless a fault condition occurs).

If a TFT display powered by USB is connected without a charging protocol, would the device limit to 500mA?

What do you suggest?

    I also have i2c on the remote panel

    The TPS2546 does not support I2C. I would still recommend this device based on your other system needs. I recommend reading up on the BC1.2 standard as it can be helpful to have a good understanding of this charging standard which the TPS2546 is based on.

    As far as the TPS2546 limiting the current for a TFT display, no it will not limit the current unless you actively change which ILIM resistor it references.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Thans so much for your answer.

    I wont be able to dynamically control the device control pins, just set it up and leave it.

    I don't see an auto mode that will attempt different modes. Is my understanding correct?

    No there is no way for the TPS2546 to dynamically control its own control pins. The closest thing is setting the device in DCP_Auto mode that will advertise and establish different charging contract depending on the device that is connected. However, this either shorts together the DP/DM lines or adds a voltage, so data transmission is not possible in these modes.

    If you need data transmission, CDP and SDP are the modes that you want to use.
