Hello

About Cypress's EZ-PD CY4533 (CYPD7133).

Q1) Please tell me the DC characteristics of VBUS_FET_EN.

>VBUS_FET_EN pin Behavior
>The VBUS_FET_EN pin is a PFET gate driver that drives to either 0 V or VBUS_IN depending on the state of the Type-C >connection.Contact Cypress Technical Support for more details on how to use this pin for specific applications.

>

In the data sheet Page9 of CYPD7133, it is described as above.

Therefore, when measuring the voltage on the VBUS_FET_EN  pin  and the FET gate side of R16 with CY4533KIT, the following measurement results were obtained.

SEL    R16 (FET gate side)      VBUS_FET_EN
5V                  1.1V                                 0.6V
9V                     2V                                 1.1V
12V                  2.6V                             1.4V
15V                  5V                                 2.8V
20V                  10V                               5.7V

Q2)As a result mentioned above,  it seems that the VBUS_FET_EN is not 0V or VBUS_IN voltage,

Could you please tell me the reaon on this.

 

Q3) 

Please let me know if there is a logic (Hi, Low) signal line other than VBUS_FET_EN  when the USB-PD obtains an effective voltage.

 
Best Regards
Macnica

Hi Macnica,

 

We don't have the DC characteris value but the internal structure of VBUS_FET_EN is just like the VBUS_P_CTRL of CCG3PA:

The internal MOS has its own Rds(on) which cause the VBUS_FET_EN is not exactly 0V or VBUS_IN voltage.

And CYPD3177 do not have other pins to display whether a PD contract is estbalished.  If you want custmized usage of GPIO, you should switch to CCG3PA instead of BCR since it is a fixed-firmware part.


Regards,
Eddie
