In Dead battery condition, the system power is not available. The whole system must run on the VBUS coming in from the source end. TPS65987DDH has a built in LDO which powers it up. A laptop normally requires an embedded controller (EC) to turn on and manage the PD ports as per the system requirements. When the system supply is not available, there should be an additional regulator sitting from the VBUS or PP_HV/PP_EXT to generate 3.3 V to power up the EC and other critical parts of the system. There are two ways this can be done.
