3 Description
The TPS25820/21 is a USB Type-C source controller
with an integrated 1.5 A-rated USB power switch. The
TPS25820/21 monitors the Type-C configuration
channel (CC) lines to determine when a USB sink is
attached. If a sink is attached, the TPS25820/21
applies power to VBUS and communicates the
selectable VBUS current sourcing capability to the sink
via the pass through CC line. If the sink is attached
with an electronically marked cable, the TPS25820
also applies VCONN power to the cable VCONN pin. The
TPS25821 does not apply VCONN power and is for
functions where VCONN is not needed such as USB
2.0 and data-less charging implementations.

The TPS25820/21 draws 1.0 μA (typ) when nothing is
attached. The FAULT output signals when the switch
is in an overcurrent or overtemperature condition. The
SINK output signals when a sink is attached and the
POL output signals the polarity of the cable superspeed lines.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The TPS25820 and TPS25821 devices are highly integrated USB Type-C source controllers with built-in power
switches developed for the USB Type-C connector and cable. The TPS25820 supports VCONN, while the
TPS25821 does not. The devices provide all of the functionality needed to support a USB Type-C DFP in a
system where USB power delivery (PD) source capabilities (for example, VBUS > 5 V) are not implemented. The
devices are designed to be compliant to the USB Type‑C specification, release 1.3 which added new
requirements to discharge VCONN.
7.1.1 USB Type C Basic
For a detailed description of the Type-C spec refer to the USB-IF website to download the latest released
version. Some of the basic concepts of the Type-C spec that pertains to understanding the operation of the
TPS25820/21 (a Downward Facing Port, DFP device) are described as follows.
USB Type-C removes the need for different plug and receptacle types for host and device functionality. The
Type-C receptacle replaces both Type-A and Type-B receptacles since the Type-C cable is plug-able in either
direction between host and device. A host-to-device logical relationship is maintained via the configuration
channel (CC). Optionally hosts and devices can be either providers or consumers of power when USB PD
communication is used to swap roles.

USB Type-C ports operate in one of below three data modes:
Host mode: the port can only be host (also provider of power)
Device mode: the port can only be device (also consumer of power)
Dual-Role mode: the port can be either host or device
Port types:
• DFP (Downstream Facing Port): Host, specifically associated with flow of data (Host or Hub) in a USB link
• Source: Port that asserts Rp (pull-up resistor) on CC pin and provides power on VBUS when attached to a
Sink (device). At power-up a DFP is a source.
• UFP (Upstream Facing Port): Device, specifically associated with flow of data (device) in a USB link
• Sink: Port that asserts Rd (pull-down) on CC pin and consumes power from VBUS when attached. At powerup a UFP is a sink
• DRP (Dual-Role Port): Host or Device
Valid Source-to-Sink connections:
• Table 1 describes valid Source-to-Sink connections
• Source to Source or Sink to Sink have no function

7.1.2 Configuration Channel
The function of the configuration channel is to detect connections and configure the interface across the USB
Type-C cables and connectors.
Functionally the Configuration Channel (CC) is used to serve the following purposes:
• Detect connect to the USB ports
• Resolve cable orientation and twist connections to establish USB data bus routing
• Establish Source and Sink roles between two connected ports
• Discover and configure power: USB Type-C current modes or USB Power Delivery
• Discovery and configure optional Alternate and Accessory modes

Typical flow of DFP to UFP configuration is shown in Figure 8:
Figure 8. DFP to UFP Connect Flow
7.1.3 Detecting a Connection
Sources and DRPs fulfill the role of detecting a valid connection over USB Type-C. Figure 9 shows a Source to
Sink connection made with Type-C cable. As shown in Figure 9, the detection concept is based on being able to
detect terminations in the product which has been attached. A pull-up and pull-down termination model is used. A
pull-up termination can be replaced by a current source.
• In the Source-Sink connection the Source monitors both CC pins for a voltage lower than the unterminated
voltage.
• A Sink advertises Rd on both its CC pins (CC1 and CC2).
• A powered cable advertises Ra on its VCONN pin.

7.3 Feature Description
Both the TPS25820 and TPS25821 are source (i.e. DFP) Type-C port controllers with integrated power switches
for VBUS. The TPS25820 also has integrated power switches for VCONN. Refer to the functional block diagrams
(Figure 10 and Figure 11). The TPS25820/21 devices do not support BC1.2 charging modes, because it does not
interact with USB D+ and D– data lines. However supporting DCP mode of BC1.2 can be easily accomplished in
data-less ports like wall chargers and CLAs by simply tying a 100-Ω resistor between the D+ and D- pins of the
Type-C connector.
The TPS25820 has a built-in VCONN current limiting switch and can be used to implement USB 3.1 DFP, whereas
the TPS25821 does not implement a VCONN current limiting switch hence is used in the implementation in USB
2.0 DFP ports or as a USB source only port. Other than the VCONN current limiting switch there are no other
functional differences between the TPS25820 and TPS25821.
7.3.1 Configuration Channel Pins CC1 and CC2
The TPS25820/21 devices have two pins, CC1 and CC2 that serve to detect an attachment to the port and
resolve cable orientation. These pins are also used to establish the current broadcast to a valid sink and
configure VCONN (TPS25820 only).

7.3.2 Current Capability Advertisement and VBUS Overload Protection
The TPS25820/21 supports two Type-C current advertisements as defined by the USB Type-C standard. Current
broadcast to a connected Sink is controlled by the CHG pin. For each broadcast level the device protects itself
from a Sink that draws current in excess of the port’s USB Type-C Current advertisement by setting the current
limit as shown in Table 3.

Under overload conditions, the internal current-limit regulator limits the output current on the OUT pin as shown
in the Electrical Characteristics table. When an overload condition is present, the device maintains a constant
output current, with the output voltage determined by (IOS x RLOAD). Two possible overload conditions can occur.
The first overload condition occurs when either: 1) input voltage is first applied, enable is true, and a short circuit
is present (load which draws IOUT > IOS), or 2) input voltage is present and the TPS25820/21 is enabled into a
short circuit. The output voltage is held near zero potential with respect to ground and the TPS25820/21 ramps
the output current to IOS.
In either case the TPS25820/21 will limit the load current to IOS until the overload condition is removed or the
device begins to thermal cycle. This is demonstrated in Figure 16 where the device was enabled into a short, and
subsequently cycles current off and on as the thermal protection engages.
7.3.3 FAULT Response
The FAULT pin is an open drain output that asserts (active low) after a deglitch time (tDEGA) when device OUT
current exceeds its programmed value and/or overtemperature threshold is crossed. The FAULT signal remains
asserted until the fault condition is removed for tDEGD. The TPS25820/21 are designed to eliminate false
overcurrent fault reporting by using an internal deglitch circuit.
Connect FAULT with a 100-kΩ pull-up resistor to IN. FAULT can be left open or tied to GND when not used.

7.3.4 Thermal Shutdown
The device has two internal overtemperature shutdown thresholds, TTH_OTSD1 and TTH_OTSD2, to protect the
internal FET from damage and overall safety of the system. When the device temperature exceeds TTH_OTSD1,
any switch in current limit (OUT switch or VCONN switch) is disabled. The device does auto-retry recovery by reenabling the switch when die temperature decreases by 20°C. When TTH_OTSD2 is exceeded all open drain
outputs are left open and the device is disabled such that minimum power/heat is dissipated. The device does
auto-retry recovery by attempting to power-up when die temperature decreases by 20°C.
7.3.5 REF
A 100-kΩ resistor is connected from this pin to GND. This pin sets the reference current required to bias the
internal circuitry of the device. The overload current limit tolerance and CC currents depend upon the accuracy of
this resistor. A ±0.5% low temp CO resistor, or better, yields the best current limit accuracy and overall device
performance. If the CC capability broadcast will only be set to STD (CHG pulled low) then up to a ±10% resistor
may be used as long as the additional error in the current limit is acceptable.
7.3.6 Plug Polarity Detection
Reversible Type-C plug orientation is reported by the POL pin when a Sink is connected, however when no Sink
is attached, POL remains de-asserted irrespective of cable plug orientation. Table 2 describes the POL state
based on which device CC pin detects VRd from an attached Sink pull-down. In a typical USB 3.x DFP port, this
pin controls a superspeed data MUX for proper data connectivity irrespective of plug orientation. See Figure 20.
7.3.7 Sink Attachment Indicator
The attachment of a Type-C sink is reported by SINK. See Table 2.
7.3.8 Device Enable Control
The logic enable pin controls the power switch and device supply current. The supply current is reduced to less
than 1 μA when a logic low is present on EN. The EN pin provides a convenient way to turn on or turn off the
device while it is powered. When this pin is pulled high, the device is turned on or enabled. When the device is
disabled (EN pulled low), the internal FETs tied to IN are disconnected, all open drain outputs are left open (HiZ), and the CC1/CC2 monitor block is turned off. The EN pin should not be left floating.
7.3.9 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit disables the power switch until the input voltage reaches the UVLO turnon threshold. Built-in hysteresis prevents unwanted on/off cycling due to input voltage droop during turn on.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
The TPS25820/21 is a Type-C controller with integrated power switch that supports all Type-C functions in a
downstream facing port (DFP). It is also used to manage current advertisement and protection to a connected
sink and active cable. The device starts its operation by monitoring the IN bus. When IN exceeds the
undervoltage lockout threshold, the device samples the EN pin. A high level on this pin enables the device and
normal operation begins. Having successfully completed its start-up sequence, the device now actively monitors
its CC1 and CC2 pins for attachment to a sink. When a sink is detected on either the CC1 or CC2 pin the internal
MOSFET starts to turn-on after the required de-bounce time is met. The internal MOSFET starts conducting and
allows current to flow from IN to OUT. For the TPS25820 if Ra is detected on the other CC pin (not connected to
sink), VCONN is applied to allow current to flow from IN to the CC pin connected to Ra. For a complete listing of
various device operational modes refer to Table 2.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The TPS25820/21 are Type-C source controllers. The TPS25820 supports all Type-C DFP required functions to
support a USB 3.x port and the TPS25821 supports all required functions for a USB 2.0 DFP. The TPS25820/21
only applies power to VBUS when it detects a sink is attached and removes power when it detects the sink is
detached. The device exposes its identity via its CC pin advertising its current capability based on the CHG pin
setting. The TPS25820/21 also limits its advertised current internally and provides robust protection against faults
on the system VBUS power rail.
After a connection is established by the TPS25820/21, the TPS25820/21 device is capable of providing VCONN to
power circuits in the cable plug on the CC pin that is not connected to the CC wire in the cable. VCONN is
internally current limited. The TPS25820/21 do not support Type-C optional accessory modes (Ra/Ra and Rd/Rd
in Table 2).
The following design procedure can be used to implement a full featured Type-C source.

8.2.1.1 Design Requirements
8.2.1.1.1
Input and Output Capacitance Considerations
Input and output capacitance improves the performance of the device. The actual capacitance should be
optimized for the particular application. For all applications, a 0.1-μF or greater ceramic bypass capacitor
between IN and GND is recommended as close to the device as possible for local noise decoupling.
All protection circuits, including those of the TPS25820/21 device, have the potential for input voltage overshoots
and output voltage undershoots. Input voltage overshoots can be caused by either of two effects. The first cause
is an abrupt application of input voltage in conjunction with input power-bus inductance and input capacitance
when the IN pin is high-impedance (before OUT turn-on, i.e. not connected to a Type-C sink device).
Theoretically, the peak voltage is 2 times the applied voltage. The second cause is due to the abrupt reduction of

SLVSE24C – NOVEMBER 2017 – REVISED AUGUST 2019
Typical Applications (continued)
output short-circuit current when the device turns off and energy stored in the input inductance drives the input
voltage high. Input voltage droops may also occur with large load steps and as the output is shorted. Applications
with large input inductance (for instance, connecting the evaluation board to the bench power supply through
long cables) may require large input capacitance to prevent the voltage overshoot from exceeding the absolute
maximum voltage of the device.
The fast current-limit speed of the TPS25820/21 device to hard output short circuits isolates the input bus from
faults. However, ceramic input capacitance in the range of 1 μF to 22 μF adjacent to the input aids in both
response time and limiting the transient seen on the input power bus. Output voltage undershoot is caused by
the inductance of the output power bus just after a short has occurred and the device has abruptly reduced the
OUT current. Energy stored in the inductance drives the OUT voltage down, and potentially negative, as it
discharges. An application with large output inductance (such as from a cable) benefits from the use of a highvalue output capacitor to control voltage undershoot.
Since the source is considered cold socketed when not attached to a sink, the output capacitance should be
placed at the IN pin rather than the OUT pin, which has been commonly used in USB Type-A ports. A 120-μF
capacitance is recommended in this situation. It is also recommended to a ceramic capacitor less than 10 μF on
the OUT pin for better voltage bypass and compliance to Type-C spec.
8.2.1.1.2 System Level ESD Protection
System-level ESD (per EN61000-4-2) may occur as the result of a cable being plugged in, or a user touching the
USB receptacle or cable plug exposed pins. The recommended capacitor on the OUT pin helps reduce the
severity of ESD hit on the VBUS path thereby protecting the OUT pin of device. The device has ESD protection
built into the CC1 and CC2 pins so that no external protection is necessary as long as proper trace layout
guidelines are practiced. Refer to the Layout Guidelines section for external component placement and routing
recommendations.
8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Design considerations are listed below:
• Place at least 120 µF of bypass capacitance close to the IN pins versus OUT as Type C is a cold socket
connector.
• A
