Overview

TPS65983B is a Texas Instruments USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery controller. It is used to manage Type-C port roles, cable attachment, and power negotiation in systems that need a modern USB-C interface.

It fits designs where the USB port must handle both data connectivity and negotiated power in a single chip, reducing the amount of external glue logic required.

Why Choose This Part

TPS65983B combines Type-C and Power Delivery control in a dedicated interface IC, which can simplify USB-C hardware design and reduce the burden on the main processor. It is a practical choice when firmware-managed port behavior, cable orientation handling, and power negotiation need to be implemented with a single controller. The part is aimed at production USB-C designs rather than simple passive connectors or basic USB data interfaces.

Applications

USB-C port controller
Manages Type-C attach/detach detection, orientation, and configuration for a USB-C receptacle.
USB Power Delivery sink/source designs
Used in systems that need to negotiate higher or lower power over USB-C.
Docking and accessory ports
Useful in docks, hubs, and adapters that expose a USB-C connection with power-role control.
Embedded device USB-C interface
Adds a standards-based USB-C port to embedded products such as handhelds, instruments, and gateways.

Getting Started

Start by following the Texas Instruments reference design and hardware design guidance for TPS65983B-based USB-C ports. In most designs, you will pair the controller with a host MCU or system processor and use TI's configuration and firmware/documentation flow for the chosen port role and power behavior. A TI development or evaluation board for the TPS65983B family is the fastest way to validate power negotiation, orientation handling, and USB-C connectivity before committing to a custom PCB.
