USB Type-C devices improve power and data transfer

This enables faster transmission without signal integrity degradation. To prevent hard field failure, the TPD8S300 family includes the industry’s first single-chip solution to protect USB Type-C and PD systems from overvoltage damage. Additionally, the TPS65983B USB PD 3.0 controller enables a complete system design and more reliable power and data transfer with integrated power path, fast role swap hardware, authentication support and standardised voltages. 

Faster data and video transfer
The TUSB1046 and TUSB1002 redrivers support twice the data bandwidth of current 5G USB solutions, enabling 10G data and video transfer with up to 8K resolution, while consuming only 335mW of active power at 10G USB speeds. The redrivers compensate channel loss up to 14.4dB when transmitted over long traces and cables. Additionally, 16 equalisation levels optimise performance by compensating intersymbol interference jitter and signal attenuation, enabling better interoperability and connectivity with other devices. TI’s 10G linear redriver family is pin-to-pin compatible with TI’s family of 5G USB devices, enabling seamless speed upgrades in existing designs.

Overvoltage port protection Using up to 75% less board space than a discrete implementation, the TPD8S300 and TPD6S300 devices protect against overvoltage damage caused by a DC short to the 20-V bus voltage (Vbus) on the Configuration Channel (CC) and SideBand Use (SBU) pins, while maintaining signal integrity. The port protectors integrate Transient Voltage Suppression (TVS) diodes with low-clamping performance to provide International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 61000-4-2 ElectroStatic Discharge protection (ESD) and protect the downstream PD controller.

Fully managed power path
The TPS65983B single-chip device is a USB PD 3.0 controller that fully integrates the power path while providing overcurrent, overvoltage, reverse current and thermal protection. The controller features fast role swap for sink or source implementations to give designers maximum flexibility.

Enabling compliance of the latest USB standards
These devices comply with the USB Type-C, USB 3.1 Gen 2 and PD 3.0 standards, increasing reliability over previous specifications and enabling slim design, robust power delivery, and the use of universal connectors and cables. Additionally, these power, signal-chain and circuit-protection devices allow USB Type-C and PD systems to function seamlessly together, giving designers peace of mind.
