PTN5100ABSMP

Controllers Overview

The PTN5100ABSMP is a single-port USB Type-C Power Delivery PHY and Protocol IC manufactured by NXP USA Inc. It provides Type-C Configuration Channel interface and USB PD Physical and Protocol layer functions to a System PD Port Policy Controller. The device supports Provider (P), Consumer (C), and combined roles, with register-programmable Type-C role configurability for Upstream Facing Port (UFP), Downstream Facing Port (DFP), or Dual Role Port (DRP). It features a low RON VCONN switch with forward and reverse current protection, operates from VDD or VBUS supplies, and includes SPI/I2C host interfaces. The component is housed in a 20-HVQFN package measuring 4 mm x 4 mm.

Controllers Feature Summary

• Complies with USB PD and USB Type-C specifications for robust interoperability.
• Supports configurable system PD roles including Provider, Consumer, and Dual Role configurations.
• Implements BMC decoding, CRC generation, and packet assembly for reliable data transmission.
• Features a low RON VCONN switch with programmable forward and reverse current protection.

Controllers Applications

• Standard Notebook PCs and Desktop PCs
• Chromebooks and Tablets
• PC Accessories such as Docks and Monitors

Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'ABS' against the manufacturer's official documentation to confirm factory-configured interface settings. Ensure compatibility with the target platform's power supply requirements and thermal management needs for the HVQFN20 package. Confirm that the selected interface mode aligns with the system controller's capabilities.

Controllers Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated USB Type-C PD PHY and Protocol solution is required for single-port implementations. Consider the register-programmable role configurability and integrated VCONN switch features. Verify that the available SPI or I2C interface options match the system host controller's communication protocols and latency requirements.

Controllers Part Context

The PTN5100ABSMP belongs to the PTN5100 series of USB Type-C Power Delivery PHY and Protocol ICs. This series is designed to offload physical and protocol layer tasks from the main policy controller MCU, enabling flexible system architectures for various computing platforms and accessories.

Controllers Replacement Considerations

PTN5100BSMP is a public confirmed substitute part number within the same family, differing primarily in factory configuration settings.

Controllers FAQ

Can the PTN5100 operate in Dead Battery conditions?

Yes, the PTN5100 can be powered directly from the USB VBUS line to operate under Dead Battery conditions, allowing the host platform to be powered or charged via USB PD.

What types of host interfaces does the PTN5100 support?

The PTN5100 supports both SPI slave interface (modes 1 and 2) and I2C slave interface (Standard, Fast, and Fast mode plus). The interface selection is pre-configured at the factory.

How does the PTN5100 handle VCONN current protection?

It implements register-programmable Forward Current Protection (FCP) to monitor over-current conditions and Reverse Current Protection (RCP) to prevent reverse current flow during cable unplug events.
