Product Overview
The TPS65987DDHRSHR is a highly integrated USB Type-C™ and USB Power Delivery (PD) controller from Texas Instruments, designed to provide a complete USB-C power and data solution for a wide range of applications. The device integrates all necessary functions including USB PD 3.0 compliance, cable orientation detection, VCONN sourcing/sinking, port power switch control, and Billboard support for alternate modes.
Packaged in a 56-pin VQFN (RSH) package measuring 7 mm × 7 mm with 0.4 mm pitch, the TPS65987DDH includes a 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M0 microcontroller running at 48 MHz with on-chip flash and RAM for application firmware. The device supports USB PD 3.0 with PPS (Programmable Power Supply) capability, enabling negotiation of variable voltage levels for fast charging applications.
The TPS65987DDH features a cable plug and orientation detection block that automatically configures the USB Type-C pins based on the connected cable. It supports both source and sink roles (DRP), as well as dual-role data (DRD). The device includes a thermal-aware power path with overcurrent and overvoltage protection, I²C and SPI interfaces for host communication, and extensive GPIO configurability. With an operating temperature range of –40°C to +125°C, the TPS65987DDHRSHR meets the demanding requirements of industrial and automotive-grade designs.
