6.3.3 CC Dead Battery Resistors Integrated for Handling the Dead Battery Use Case in Mobile Devices

An important feature of USB Type-C and USB PD is the ability for this connector to serve as the sole power source to mobile devices. With support up to 240W, the USB Type-C connector supporting USB PD powers a whole new range of mobile devices not previously possible with legacy USB connectors.

When the USB Type-C connector is the sole power supply for a battery powered device, enable the device to charge from the USB Type-C connector even when its battery is dead. In order for a USB Type-C power adapter to supply power on VBUS, expose RD pulldown resistors on the CC pins. These RD resistors are typically included inside a USB Type-C CC/PD controller. However, when the TPD4S201 is used to protect the USB Type-C port, the OVP FETs inside the device isolate these RD resistors in the CC/PD controller when the mobile device has no power. When the TPD4S201 has no power, the OVP FETs are turned off to provide overvoltage protection in a dead battery condition. Therefore, the TPD4S201 integrates high-voltage, dead battery RD pull-down resistors to allow dead battery charging simultaneously with high-voltage OVP protection.

If dead battery support is required, short the RPD_G1 pin to the C_CC1 pin, and short the RPD_G2 pin to the C_CC2 pin. This short connects the dead battery resistors to the connector CC pins. When the TPD4S201 is unpowered, and the RP pull-up resistor is connected from a power adapter, this RP pull-up resistor activates the RD resistor inside the TPD4S201, and enables VBUS to be applied from the power adapter even in a dead battery condition. Once power is restored back to the system and back to the TPD4S201 on its VPWR pin, the TPD4S201 turns ON its OVP FETs in 3.5ms and then turns OFF its dead battery RD. The TPD4S201 first turns ON its CC OVP FETs fully, and then removes its dead battery RDs to make sure the PD controller RD is fully exposed before removing the RD of the TPD4S201.

If desiring to power the CC/PD controller during dead battery mode and if the CC/PD Controller is configured as a DRP, it is critical that the TPD4S201 be powered before or at the same time that the CC/PD controller is powered. It is also critical that when unpowered, the CC/PD controller also expose its dead battery resistors. When the TPD4S201 gets powered, it exposes the CC pins of the CC/PD controller within 3.5ms, and then removes its own RD dead battery resistors. Once the TPD4S201 turns on, present the RD pull-down resistors of the CC/PD controller immediately in order to maintain a connection. If the power adapter does not see RD present, the VBUS disconnects. This event removes power from the device with its battery still not sufficiently charged, which consequently removes power from the CC/PD controller and the TPD4S201. Then the RD resistors of the TPD4S201 are exposed again, and connects the VBUS of the power adapter to start the cycle over.

If the CC/PD Controller is configured for DRP and has started to DRP toggle before the TPD4S201 turns on, this DRP toggle is unable to maintain a connection with a power adapter. If the CC/PD controller is configured for DRP, the dead battery resistors of the PD controller need to be exposed as well, and that the resistors remain exposed until the TPD4S201 turns on. This behavior is typically accomplished by powering the TPD4S201 at the same time as the CC/PD controller when powering the CC/PD controller in dead battery operation.

If dead battery charging is not required in your application, connect the RPD_G1 and RPD_G2 pins to ground.
