PRODUCTION DATA
Figure 9-2 illustrates connecting two TPS26741-Q1 together to create a 2-port system. The TPS26741-Q1 uses I2C2 to control external DC/DCs to provide the necessary voltage and/or current on each port individually. The TPS26741-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 VCONN to read an eMarker.
In this example, the top TPS26741-Q1 is the smart-power-management (SPM) controller and uses the I2C2 port to control the SPM target. The SPM target uses I2C1 to communicate with the SPM controller.
The Px_CCy, Px_DP/DM, and Px_LQD pins are all rated for high-voltage so no external OVP is necessary, but external ESD is recommended.
