PRODUCTION DATA
Figure 9-2 illustrates how to connect two TPS26741E-Q1 together to create a 2-port system. The TPS26741E-Q1 uses I2C2 to control external DC/DCs to provide the necessary voltage and/or current on each port individually. The TPS26741E-Q1 has an internal LDO connected to the same battery / power supply as the DC/DC. This internal LDO also provides the current needed for VCON to read an eMarkerN.
In this example, the top TPS26741E-Q1 is the smart-power-management (SPM) controller and uses its I2C port to control the SPM target via its I2C1 port.
In this example, the bottom TPS26741E-Q1 supports a nominal 48V VBUS. Connect a resistor divider that divides VBUS in half to limit the voltage on the PA_VBUS pin. Use resistors with a value of 10kΩ.
External OVP options are shown to protect Px_CCy, Px_DP/DM, and Px_LQD pins from shorting to VBUS in the connector.
