SLVUCP8A September 2024 – June 2025 TPS26750
The portions of the EVM highlighted in red are powered upon TPS26750 boot up when testing the device in Dead Battery Always Enable Sink Mode, and are shown in Figure 2-6. This mode occurs when the VIN_3V3 pin of the TPS26750 is unpowered (before a USB-C connection is made) and a USB-PD capable source is connected to the DUT Type C (J4) connector, when Jumper J15 is not populated. During Dead Battery Always Enable Sink Mode, the Bidirectional Power Switch (U20) is closed during the period of time that the TPS26750 boots and loads the configuration. In this mode, the TPS26750 can only operate as a sink and can sink between 5V and 48V (both SPR and EPR capable). After the configuration is loaded and the device is finished booting, the Bidirectional Power Switch remains closed (or open) based upon the configuration loaded and the capabilities of the attached source.
The example setup is identical to the setup in Figure 2-5, except that J15 is not populated. This example setup is capable of sinking 28V of power to the DUT Type C port (J4), which is in the USB-PD Extended Power Range.
