9.3 Typical Application

End equipments like PC, notebooks, docking stations, monitors, and so on have USB PD ports which can be configured as DFP (Source), UFP (Sink) or DRP (Source + Sink). TPS2521xx can be used independently or in conjunction with LM73100 to handle the power path protection requirements of USB PD ports as shown in Figure 9-2 below.

TPS2521xx provides overcurrent and short-circuit protection in the source path, while blocking any reverse current from the port to the internal source power rail. The fast recovery (tSWRCB) from reverse current blocking ensures minimum supply droop during Fast Role Swap (FRS) events.

The LM73100 provides overvoltage protection on the sink path, while blocking reverse current from internal sink rail to the port.

The linear ORing mechanism in TPS2521xx and LM73100 ensures that there is no reverse current flowing from one power source to the other during fast or slow ramp of either supply.
