11-11-2019 | Mouser Electronics | Semiconductors

STMicroelectronics TCPP01-M12 USB Type-C Port Protection is a single-chip solution that facilitates the migration from USB legacy connectors type-A or type-B to USB Type-C connectors. This solution is available now from Mouser. This Type-C port protection overs overvoltage protection on VBUS, adjustable up to 22V,

with external N-channel MOSFET. The solution incorporates an integrated charge pump to control the gate of an external N-channel MOSFET. This Type-C port protection offers OTP, open-drain fault reporting, and integrated dead battery.

The port protection operates at -40C to 85C junction temperature range. This Type-C port protection function with 6V overvoltage protection, 150C junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, and 122μA supply current.

The solution is excellent for usage in sink configuration, source configuration, UFP or DFP configuratioN, power delivery, and PPS compliant.
