The TPS65988DK is a highly integrated stand-alone Dual Port USB Type-C and Power Delivery (PD) controller optimized for USB4 & TBT4 Device. The TPS65988DK integrates fully managed power paths with robust protection for a complete USB-C PD solution. Upon cable detection, the TPS65988DK communicates on the CC wire using the USB PD protocol. When cable detection and USB PD negotiation are complete, the TPS65988DK enables the appropriate power path and configures alternate mode settings for external multiplexers. This device is featured on Intel’s Reference Design for USB4 & TBT4 Device end equipments ensuring the PD controller has proper system level interaction in these types of designs. This greatly reduces system design complexity and results in reduced time to market.
