Tool/software:
Hello, I'm currently working on a project where I'm connecting a tablet to a card that must charge it at 5v and 3A (15W in power or 9V and 1.5A). At the same time it must be able to communicate with the tablet and a MCU where they'll exchange data of type USB2.0. After multiple researches on the subject, it was concluded that Power Delivery was the best option, and I've found the TIDA-050012 and more specifically, the TPS65987D, could answer those needs. I just want to make sure first before I go with this solution: it will be able to charge and communicate in power delivery mode, correct? And is the GUI TPS65988X-CONFIG compatible with the TIDA-050012 and emit and receive data that is non-power delivery?
Hi,
TIDA-050012 is our PD-DUO-EVM and contains two TPS65987D PD controllers. One side of the board is for sinking and the other side for sourcing.
TPS65987D is capable of charging a connected device at 5V, 9V, 15V, and 20V, or voltages in between. The maximum current the TPS65987D can support charging is 5A, however, with the TIDA-050012, this is limited to 3A max. 1.5A is also possible. The TPS65987D configures the USB data type over the CC channels, but does not touch the data itself. TPS65987D is capable of configuring USB2 data transfer. The USB data signals will be routed straight from the connector to the separate USB data hub.
Yes, the GUI available on ti.com for TPS65987 and TPS65988 is the correct tool. The version number should be 6.1.4.
Best,
Alex
