Product details
Overview
DPO2036DBB-7 from Diodes Incorporated is a 4-channel USB Type-C® over-voltage protection IC designed to safeguard CC1/CC2 and SBU1/SBU2 signal paths against short-to-VBUS faults. It integrates dual-pair OVP FETs with RDS(ON) of 350 mΩ (CC) and 5 Ω (SBU), auto-recovery response ≤100 ns, and dead-battery pull-down resistors (5.1 kΩ typ.) for CC lines-enabling power negotiation in fully depleted mobile systems.
For engineers reviewing the DPO2036DBB-7 datasheet, DPO2036DBB-7 pinout, DPO2036DBB-7 application, or DPO2036DBB-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include VOVP thresholds (6.0 V CC / 4.5 V SBU), ±22 V short-to-VBUS tolerance, 200 MHz CC bandwidth, thermal shutdown at +150°C, and U-QFN2020-12 (Type B) package compatibility with high-density USB-C port layouts.
Technical Context
The DPO2036DBB-7 implements four independent uni-directional OVP switches-two for CC pins (CC1C/CC2C → CC1S/CC2S) and two for SBU pins (SBU1C/SBU2C → SBU1S/SBU2S)-each with dedicated voltage comparators, hysteresis (140 mV CC / 110 mV SBU), and fast turn-off logic. Fault detection triggers FAULTB assertion within 300 μs and isolates system-side I/O within 100 ns.
It supports dual-power sourcing: primary operation from VVSYS (2.7–5.5 V), with seamless fallback to VCONN-derived power during dead-battery mode via integrated RD pull-downs on CC1C/CC2C. Thermal shutdown (+150°C) and UVLO (2.4 V) ensure robustness under abnormal supply or ambient conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| OVP Threshold (CC) | 6.0 V typical - triggers isolation before VBUS-induced EOS damages sub-micron USB PD controllers |
| OVP Threshold (SBU) | 4.5 V typical - protects low-voltage SBU analog signaling paths from 5 V/9 V/15 V VBUS shorts |
| RDS(ON) (CC path) | 350 mΩ typical - minimizes voltage drop and signal distortion on high-speed CC configuration channel |
| RDS(ON) (SBU path) | 5 Ω typical - balances low-leakage isolation with acceptable insertion loss for auxiliary analog signals |
| Response Time | <100 ns - ensures system-side ICs survive transient VBUS shorts without latch-up or gate oxide rupture |
| Bandwidth (CC) | 200 MHz - preserves USB PD communication integrity up to 300 kbps BMC signaling |
| Dead-Battery RD | 5.1 kΩ typical - meets USB Type-C Specification pull-down requirement for source detection when battery = 0 V |
Pinout & Package
Housed in a 2.0 mm × 2.0 mm × 0.5 mm U-QFN2020-12 (Type B) package with exposed thermal pad, the DPO2036DBB-7 uses a 3×4 pin grid with pin 1 marked by top-side dot. The thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal management (RθJA = 96°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 SBU1C | USB-C connector side SBU1 input | Receives SBU1 signal from Type-C receptacle; rated for 24 V max short-to-VBUS |
| 2 SBU2C | USB-C connector side SBU2 input | Receives SBU2 signal; enables dual-auxiliary channel protection |
| 3 CC1C | USB-C connector side CC1 input | Primary configuration channel input; includes embedded 5.1 kΩ pull-down for dead-battery mode |
| 4 CC2C | USB-C connector side CC2 input | Redundant configuration channel input; identical dead-battery support as CC1C |
| 5 CB | ESD capacitor connection | Requires 0.1 μF capacitor to GND to suppress ESD transients on all protected lines |
| 6 FAULTB | Active-low fault indicator | Open-drain output asserted low during OVP; sinks ≤8 mA; requires external pull-up |
| 7 CC2S | System-side CC2 output | Drives CC2 pin of USB PD controller or mux; isolated during OVP |
| 8 CC1S | System-side CC1 output | Drives CC1 pin of host IC; maintains signal integrity with 50 pF CIN |
| 9 SBU2S | System-side SBU2 output | Routes SBU2 to baseband processor or audio codec; 5 pF CIN preserves analog fidelity |
| 10 SBU1S | System-side SBU1 output | Delivers SBU1 signal to system IC; supports crosstalk <−80 dB at 1 MHz |
| 11 GND | Power and signal reference | Common return for all channels and thermal pad; must connect to solid ground plane |
| 12 VSYS | Main supply input | Accepts 2.7–5.5 V system rail; powers internal logic, comparators, and FET drivers |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-recovery OVP | CC/SBU channels restore conduction after fault removal in 26–38 ms (fast recovery) or 1 ms (post-long-fault), eliminating manual reset |
| Dead-battery CC support | Integrated 5.1 kΩ pull-downs on CC1C/CC2C activate automatically when VVSYS < UVLO, enabling charging negotiation with zero battery voltage |
| Short-to-VBUS tolerance | Withstands 22 V on CC/SBU connector pins without damage-exceeding USB PD 3.0 VBUS max (20 V) |
| Thermal protection | Shuts down at +150°C junction temperature with +20°C hysteresis, preventing thermal runaway during sustained overload |
| IEC61000-4-2 ESD rating | ±2.0 kV HBM on all protected pins (CC1C/CC2C/SBU1C/SBU2C), eliminating need for external TVS diodes |
Applications

Use Value: Reduces BOM count by 70% and PCB area by 65% versus discrete protection while meeting USB-IF compliance for short-to-VBUS immunity. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB-C over-voltage protection applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TUSB546A | Single-channel USB 3.1 re-driver with integrated OVP; no SBU support; 3.3 V only supply | Designed for SuperSpeed data path protection-not CC/SBU signal integrity | Select only if protecting high-speed data lanes (TX/RX), not configuration/auxiliary pins |
| TPD6S300A | 3-channel solution (CC1/CC2/SBU1 only); no SBU2 protection; 5.5 V OVP threshold fixed | Lacks second SBU channel and auto-recovery; requires external reset for fault clearance | Use when SBU2 is unused and system-level fault handling can tolerate manual reset |
Compared with TUSB546A and TPD6S300A, the DPO2036DBB-7 uniquely delivers full 4-channel (CC1/CC2/SBU1/SBU2) protection with auto-recovery, dead-battery support, and dual OVP thresholds-making it the only single-chip solution for complete USB-C receptacle-side signal path hardening.

FAQ
What is the maximum VBUS voltage the DPO2036DBB-7 can withstand on CC and SBU pins?
The DPO2036DBB-7 supports short-to-VBUS tolerance up to 22 V on both CCxC and SBUxC pins, verified under hot-plug test conditions with 1-meter USB-C cables and specified load networks. This exceeds the USB PD 3.0 specification's 20 V VBUS maximum and ensures survivability against common cable/connector fault scenarios.
Does the DPO2036DBB-7 require external pull-up resistors on the FAULTB pin?
Yes, FAULTB is an open-drain output and requires an external pull-up resistor (typically 4.7–10 kΩ) to a 2.7–5.5 V rail. The device sinks up to 8 mA when asserting fault; the pull-up value must ensure VOL ≤ 0.4 V under worst-case sink current and PCB trace capacitance.
How does the dead-battery mode function without external components?
The DPO2036DBB-7 embeds precision 5.1 kΩ pull-down resistors on CC1C and CC2C pins, activated automatically when VVSYS falls below 2.4 V UVLO threshold. This satisfies USB Type-C Specification RD requirements, enabling source detection and VCONN-powered charging even with 0 V battery voltage-no external resistors needed.
Can the DPO2036DBB-7 protect both CC and SBU lines simultaneously during a single fault event?
Yes-the device monitors all four inputs (CC1C, CC2C, SBU1C, SBU2C) independently. A fault on any one pin triggers immediate FAULTB assertion and simultaneous turn-off of all four OVP FETs, ensuring complete isolation of system-side CC1S/CC2S/SBU1S/SBU2S from the faulted connector-side path.
