2.2.6 Buck-Boost DC/DC Converter - TPS55288

The TPS55288 is a synchronous four-switch buck-boost DC/DC converter capable of regulating the output voltage at, above, or below the input voltage which in this case is 12 V. Two such DC/DC converters are connected between the PD controller and USB Type-C connectors with each serving one USB Type-C channel. The TPS55288 provides output voltages between 5 V to 20 V, depending upon the voltage negotiated by the PD controller with the connected USB Type-C device. The PD controller communicates with TPS55288 via I2C interface.
