 Hello, and welcome to our product presentation of ST-USB-1602 Certified USB Power Delivery Controller. ST-USB-ICs have been designed to protect your devices from electrical hazards and to enable a straightforward migration from legacy USB ports to Type-C. Today, ST is a member of the Board of Directors of the USB IF or Implementers Forum and is contributing to the definition of the next generation of USB interfaces. As you may know, the USB Standard A and Micro B connector, introduced in 1996 and 2007 respectively, are being replaced by a single USB plug. This new connector, introduced in 2015, is called USB Type-C. The new USB Type-C connector offers a rich set of features. First of all, it is a reversible connector. Physically, the plug is thinner, but mechanically, it is more robust than Micro B connectors. The new Type-C connector is also the first one to fully support the USB power delivery specification with increased and scalable power up to 100 watts bi-directionally. While being backwards compatible with USB 2.0, the new Type-C connector also supports the latest generation of USB 3. With the addition of the alternate mode feature, the Type-C connector can be repurposed to support extra data or video standards, and we even have authentication and firmware support. In 2017, there was a significant acceleration in the adoption of USB Type-C for medium-end portable devices. Thanks to the expansion of the large consumer, industrial and automotive markets, the volumes should quickly reach 3 billion units a year, starting in 2020. ST-USB-1602 is the ideal solution for flexible or custom USB PD implementations. For example, it is suitable for all sync applications or any source applications. It works also for dual-role single-port supplied applications or even multi-port applications. As a summary, the ST-USB-1602's main features are short to V-Bus protection, including the CC or configuration channel pin, guarantees a robust solution to external electrical damage and non-compliant devices. The high integration of functions such as discharge path and gate drivers of V-Bus monitoring help to minimize bill of material and PCB footprint. Thanks to a wide voltage range, it can be supplied directly by V-Bus, removing the need for an external low-voltage LDO and in line with programmable power supply requirements. This fully certified solution guarantees interoperability and correct communication no matter which MCU it is used with. If you are interested in the ST-USB-1602 and would like to develop an application or do some prototyping of a potential product, you should check out our P-Nucleo USB 002 Evaluation Kit on ST.com. This easy-to-use kit is composed of an ST-M32 Nucleo board, an ST-USB-1602 dual-port USB PD Nucleo expansion board, and a Type-C certified cable. The kit allows you to demonstrate two full-feature USB PD ports that can be configured to act either as a provider, a consumer, or a dual role. The kit is provided with five volts on-board power capability and a dedicated power connector which allows to interface with an external power supply. Check out our website at www.st.com.x-nucleo and type USB 002 into the search box. Click on P-Nucleo USB 002 and it will bring you straight to our dedicated page where you can get ordering information, documentation, and lots of other information to get you on your way to developing or prototyping your USB-C application. Having been designed in a high-voltage mixed signal technology, ST-USB-1602 is the perfect companionship addressing your security and safety concerns for every application using a Type-C connector. On top of that, it guarantees, no matter which MCU you choose, ideal signal conditioning according to USB PD standard. For example, it will protect your system from external damages from 100-watt capable devices. ST-USB-1602 is PD-R2.0 certified, both as a source and as a sync. Furthermore, as it covers the lower layers of the USB PD stack, it is also compatible with USB PD-R3.0. Let's have a look at the USB PD stack. As a companion IC, the ST-USB-1602 must be used in combination with an MCU, such as an STM-32F0. While the STM-32F0 covers the high-level layers of the stack from system policy manager down to protocol layer, the ST-USB-1602 covers the lower layers of the stack down to the PHY. The ST-USB-1602 implements all Type-C interface functions in order to manage the port connection, the cable orientation, the dead battery mode, and VCON management. Then, it also implements sensitive electrical or software heavy functions, such as signal conditioning for both packet transmission and reception. Additionally, it contributes to supporting mandatory application functions such as enabling the power path, managing the voltage transitions and discharge events, monitoring the power path to ensuring short-to-VBUS protection up to 28 volts, and protecting VCON switch from overvoltage, overcurrent, and overtemperature. All of these features can be explored using our Discovery Kit, the PNUCLEO-USB-002. To cover these application requirements, ST-USB-1602 embeds automatic voltage monitoring of the V-BUS, according to the operating voltage level agreed between the sync and the source, V-BUS discharge switch, 28-volt high voltage protection on CC or configuration channel pins, dead battery switch, source and sync path gate drivers, VCON switch protections, and 4 kV ESD. The following simplified schematic shows ST-USB-1602 interaction in a typical dual-role port application with both source and sync power paths, the application processor, and the data path. Please note that as the IC can be supplied directly by V-BUS, the connection to a 3.3-volt LDO is optional. The ST-USB-1602 supports the following features. Integrated discharge path, which is mandatory in any USB system, embedded V-BUS switch gate drivers, protected CC pins and interface pins above 6 volts, and embedded fully V-BUS monitoring and corresponding protections mechanism.
