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.
The TPS25810A-Q1 device is a Type-C DFP controller that supports all Type-C DFP required functions. It applies power to VBUS when a UFP attach is detected and removes power when it detects the UFP is detached. The device exposes its identity via its CC pin, advertising its current capability based on the CHG and CHG_HI pin settings. The TPS25810A-Q1 device also limits its advertised current internally and provides robust protection to a fault on the system VBUS power rail.
After a connection is established, either 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 and has its own supply pin, IN2. Apart from providing charging current to a UFP, the TPS25810A-Q1 device also supports audio and debug accessory modes.
The following design procedure can be used to implement a full-featured Type-C DFP.
NOTE
BC 1.2 is not supported in the TPS25810A-Q1 device. To support BC 1.2 with Type-C charging modes in a single Type-C connector, a dedicated charging port (DCP) controller something like a TPS2514A-Q1 device must be used.
Figure 19 shows a minimal Type-C DFP implementation capable of supporting 5-V and 3-A charging.
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 INx and GND is recommended as close to the device as possible for local noise decoupling.
All protection circuits, including those of the TPS25810A-Q1 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 INx pin is high-impedance (before turnon). Theoretically, the peak voltage is 2 times the applied voltage. The second cause is due to the abrupt reduction of 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 TPS25810A-Q1 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. Momentary input transients to 6.5 V are permitted. 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 high-value output capacitor to control voltage undershoot.
When implementing a USB-standard application, 120-μF minimum output capacitance is required. Typically, a 150-μF electrolytic capacitor is used, which is sufficient to control voltage undershoots. Because in Type-C applications, DFP is a cold socket when no UFP is attached, the output capacitance should be placed at the INx pin versus the OUT pin, as is done in USB Type-A ports. It is also recommended to put a 10-μF ceramic capacitor on the OUT pin for better voltage bypass.
The TPS25810A-Q1 device supports up to three different input voltages, based on the application. In the simplest implementation, all input pins are tied to a single voltage source set to 5 V, as shown in Figure 19. However, it is recommended to set a slightly higher (100 mV to 200 mV) input voltage, when possible, to compensate for IR loss from the source to the Type-C connector.

Figure 27 shows a Type-C DFP implementation capable of supporting 5-V, 3-A charging in a Type-C port that is also able to support charging of legacy devices when used with a Type-C µB cable assembly for charging phones and handheld devices equipped with a µB connector.
This implementation requires the use of a TPS2514A-Q1 device, a USB dedicated charging-port (DCP) controller with auto-detect feature to charge not only BC 1.2-compliant handheld devices but also popular phones and tablets that incorporate their own propriety charging algorithm.
