STMicroelectronics TCPP01-M12 Compact Chip for USB Type-C Port Protection

STMicroelectronics’ TCPP01-M12 is a protection device for USB Type-C^® ports, enabling system designers to quickly and safely replace older Type-A or Type-B ports with the latest USB technology. By implementing protection with the TCPP01-M12, manufacturers can maintain the safety and reliability of products featuring the latest high-speed and high-power connector interface.

Features provided by the STMicroelectronics TCPP01-M12 include protection against a defective power adaptor, to prevent damage to the host equipment if a faulty power supply applies the wrong power profile. The product also provides short-circuit protection between the power bus pins and Configuration Channel (CC) lines.

The TCPP01-M12 port protection chip is suited to the protection of 5V-only connections managed by general-purpose microcontrollers such as STM32 and STM8 devices. The USB protection device can also work with the 20V/100W USB Type-C Power Delivery controller integrated in ST’s STM32G0, STM32G4 and STM32L5 MCUs.

The STMicroelectronics TCPP01-M12 can be used to protect source (provider) applications, and can support the programmable power-supply feature of the USB Power Delivery 3.0 standard.

The TCPP01-M12 is supplied in a 12-lead QFN package measuring 3.0mm x 3.0mm x 0.9mm.
