Overview

The STUSB4500 is a standalone USB Type-C and Power Delivery (PD) sink controller designed to negotiate power from a source without requiring an external microcontroller. It supports up to three Power Data Object (PDO) profiles and includes an auto-run mode to facilitate dead-battery charging, making it ideal for converting legacy barrel-jack devices to USB-C power.

Why Choose This Part

It eliminates the need for firmware development by storing PDO configurations in non-volatile memory (NVM). The device offers high integration with internal VBUS monitoring and PMOS gate drivers, and its wide supply range of 4.1V to 22V allows direct operation from the negotiated VBUS rail.

Applications

USB-C Power Sink
Replacing proprietary DC barrel jacks in consumer electronics to allow charging via standard USB-C wall adapters.
Battery-Powered Devices
Managing charging profiles for multi-cell Li-ion packs by negotiating high voltage (up to 20V) from PD sources.
Industrial Equipment
Providing reliable power delivery in rugged environments with integrated short-to-VBUS protection on CC pins up to 22V.
