Overview

The NXP PTN5110 is a dedicated USB Type-C Port Controller and Power Delivery (PD) PHY designed for use in sink applications. It manages the CC (Configuration Channel) pins, negotiates power contracts, and handles VCONN for active cables. This device supports USB PD 3.0, ensuring robust and compliant Type-C implementations.

Why Choose This Part

This controller offers integrated VCONN load switch with programmable current limit and robust protection features like Over Temperature Protection and back current protection on all pins. Its 6 V tolerant CC pins and high ESD ratings (8 kV HBM, 1 kV CDM) enhance system reliability. The low sleep current of 30 uA makes it suitable for power-sensitive applications.

Applications

Smartphone Charging Ports
Enabling fast and intelligent charging for smartphones and other portable devices using USB Type-C, supporting various power profiles.
Tablet and Laptop Power Sinks
Integrating USB PD capabilities into tablets and laptops to allow for power reception and data over a single Type-C port.
USB Type-C Peripherals
Adding Type-C connectivity to peripherals that need to draw power, such as external hard drives, docks, and monitors.
Power Adapters
Implementing power negotiation and VCONN supply in power adapters that conform to the USB Type-C and PD specifications.
Embedded Systems with Type-C
Providing a streamlined solution for embedded systems to act as a USB Type-C sink, managing power delivery and ensuring proper connection states.

Getting Started

To get started with the PTN5110, engineers can utilize NXP's development kits and evaluation boards for USB Type-C and Power Delivery. The device is controlled via an I2C interface, requiring a host microcontroller to manage PD negotiation and port control. NXP provides driver libraries and application notes to aid in software development.
