Overview

The TCPP01-M12 is a specialized USB Type-C port protection IC designed for Sink (Downstream Facing Port) applications. It provides high-voltage protection for the VBUS and CC lines, preventing damage from accidental shorts or non-compliant power adapters while managing the USB Power Delivery physical interface.

Why Choose This Part

The IC simplifies USB-C design by integrating VBUS overvoltage protection, CC line protection, and dead-battery resistors into a single 3x3mm QFN package. It features zero quiescent current when no cable is attached, extending the shelf life of battery-operated devices.

Applications

USB-C Power Sinking Devices
Protects consumer electronics that receive power via USB-C, such as portable speakers, toys, and small appliances.
Battery Powered IoT Nodes
Ensures safe charging from various USB-C sources while providing integrated dead-battery resistors for proper power negotiation.
Industrial Handhelds
Safeguards professional equipment against surge events and overvoltage conditions on the USB interface up to 22V.
