TPS65987D in TI TPS6xxxx Bucks & Boosts Family
The TPS65987D family from Texas Instruments consists of highly integrated stand-alone USB Type-C and Power Delivery (PD) controllers. Designed for power source and dual-role applications, these devices integrate high-speed bi-directional power paths with low ON-resistance. They manage cable plug orientation, negotiate power delivery contracts via the CC protocol, and support alternate modes. These controllers are essential for modern hardware designs requiring efficient power negotiation and high-speed data multiplexing control in compact form factors.
Variants in This Sub-Family
Variants within the TPS65987D sub-family primarily differ in their firmware configuration and automotive qualification. While the standard TPS65987D is aimed at industrial and consumer electronics, the TPS65987-Q1 variant provides AEC-Q100 Grade 2 certification for automotive environments. Differences also exist in internal power path ratings and specific GPIO mapping optimized for either host-side data multiplexing or dedicated power-only adapter designs.
