7.2.2 Resetting Behavior

Improper configurations and shorts can cause a USB Type-C PD system to constantly reset. The following checks should be used to debug these types of issues:

  • Verify that the essential power paths have the correct voltages:
    • System_3V3 and System_5V
    • System Power: 20 V (or the appropriate configured voltage)
  • Probe VBUS, CC1, and CC2 to check for any anomalies. Figure 7-5 shows a successful power contract.
  • When there is a short on VBUS, the initial 5 V on VBUS is not present
  • Check for a small spike on VBUS during a plug event to verify that the PP_HV or PP_EXT switch is closed and is then opened, once an overcurrent condition is detected.
