Overview

The PTN5110NHQZ is a USB Type-C PHY IC designed to implement the Type-C Port Controller (TCPC) specification Revision 2.0 version 1.0. It manages the physical layer signaling for USB Power Delivery (PD) and Type-C cable attachment detection, offloading these complex tasks from a host microcontroller or EC. This specific variant is configured for Dual Role Power (DRP) at power-on reset, starting in the Sink role.

Why Choose This Part

It features an extremely small footprint in a 2.6mm x 2.6mm HX2QFN16 package with a low sleep current of 40uA for power-sensitive mobile applications. The hardware-based TCPC implementation ensures standard-compliant timing for critical PD functions, while the 25V-tolerant VBUS pins provide robust protection against electrical overstress.

Applications

Laptop and Tablet Power Delivery
Serves as the front-end PHY for USB-C ports in notebooks and tablets, handling CC logic and PD messaging.
Dual-Role Power (DRP) Systems
Ideal for devices that need to both charge from a source and provide power to peripherals, with built-in EN_SNK and EN_SRC controls.
USB-C Peripheral Charging
Manages power negotiation for high-power peripherals that require specific voltage/current profiles via PD.
Active Cable Detection
Utilizes integrated logic to detect audio and debug accessories, as well as VCONN requirements for active cables.

Getting Started

Integration requires an I2C host controller running a TCPM (Type-C Port Manager) software stack to handle policy engine logic. Engineers should reference NXP's technical documentation for the PTN5110 to map the EN_SNK and EN_SRC pins to external load switches or power management ICs. Development can be accelerated using NXP's USB-C hardware evaluation kits that feature the PTN5110 family.
