TPS25752A Evaluation Module

Introduction

The Texas Instruments TPS25752A-EVM is an evaluation module for developing USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery source applications. It provides a practical platform for configuring, testing, and debugging designs based on the TPS25752A USB-PD controller.

Part Description

The TPS25752A Evaluation Module is designed for single-port USB Type-C source-only systems. It supports USB Power Delivery power profiles up to 100 W, delivering up to 20 V at 5 A where the connected power system and cable support those levels.

The board includes accessible test points and headers to simplify measurement, signal inspection, and integration with external equipment. GUI-based configuration support helps developers create and evaluate USB-PD power profiles without needing to build a complete prototype board first.

Key capabilities include:

• Single USB Type-C port operation
• Source-only USB Power Delivery functionality
• Support for output power profiles up to 100 W
• Maximum supported profile of 20 V at 5 A
• TPS25752A USB-PD controller evaluation platform
• GUI-oriented configuration and debugging workflow
• Test points and headers for bench testing and development
