Overview

The TPS65987D is a highly integrated stand-alone USB Type-C and Power Delivery (PD) controller capable of managing power paths up to 100W. It features two internal 5A-rated power switches with integrated protection, including overvoltage, undervoltage, and reverse current monitoring. The device handles all physical layer and policy engine logic, allowing for complex power negotiations without external MCU intervention in many cases.

Why Choose This Part

This controller minimizes PCB footprint by integrating two 25-mOhm bidirectional switches that support up to 5A of current. It simplifies design by including a built-in oscillator, cable orientation detection, and an LDO for dead-battery support, reducing the external bill of materials.

Applications

High-Power Docking Stations
Manages host power delivery while simultaneously charging connected peripherals via dual internal 5A switches.
Industrial Notebooks and Tablets
Provides robust PD 3.0 certified charging and data role swapping for high-reliability mobile computing.
USB-C Power Adapters
Acts as a sophisticated PD controller for AC-DC adapters to negotiate variable voltage profiles up to 20V.
Monitors and Display Hubs
Coordinates DisplayPort Alt Mode negotiations while delivering high-wattage power to the video source.
