Product details
Overview
PI5USB14550-AZEEX from Diodes Incorporated (acquired Pericom in 2017) is a USB sleep-and-charge switch IC that enables battery-powered handheld devices to draw charging current from a notebook PC's USB VBUS during system sleep mode, supporting USB 1.1 and YD/T-1591 charger specifications, with automatic device-type detection and integrated ±4kV IEC61000-4-2 ESD protection on D+/D− pins.
For engineers reviewing the PI5USB14550-AZEEX datasheet, PI5USB14550-AZEEX pinout, PI5USB14550-AZEEX application, or PI5USB14550-AZEEX equivalent, this device addresses critical USB charging interoperability in low-power host states-particularly where enumeration is unavailable, ESD robustness is required on exposed USB data lines, and multi-standard charging negotiation must occur without firmware intervention.
Technical Context
The PI5USB14550-AZEEX implements a bidirectional analog switch matrix controlled by an internal state machine that detects connected device signature resistances on D+ and D− to auto-select among USB BC1.2 DCP, CDP, SDP, and Apple 2.1A/1.0A modes. It operates exclusively from 5V VBUS with no auxiliary supply needed.
Its control logic disables external power switches during non-charging states per timing requirements, maintains signal integrity for USB 1.1 data paths (<45Ω on-path resistance), and routes VBUS only after valid device detection-preventing short-to-rail faults and ensuring Energy Star–compliant quiescent current <100μA.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 5V only; powers entire IC from USB VBUS-no separate bias rail required. |
| On-Resistance (D+/D−) | 45Ω max; preserves USB 1.1 signal integrity and voltage drop within spec. |
| ESD Protection | ±4kV contact per IEC61000-4-2 on pins 2 & 3 (D+/D−); eliminates need for discrete TVS diodes. |
| Quiescent Current | <100μA in sleep mode; meets Energy Star standby power requirements. |
| Charging Modes | Auto-detects and configures for USB BC1.2 DCP/CDP/SDP + Apple 2.1A/1.0A; supports legacy and proprietary schemes. |
| Package | 10-pin TDFN (ZE), 2.5mm × 2.5mm × 0.75mm; optimized for space-constrained notebook USB ports. |
Pinout & Package
10-pin TDFN (ZE) package with wettable flank leads, RoHS-compliant and halogen-free. Exposed thermal pad (Pin 10) requires PCB solder connection for thermal performance and EMI control.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (EN) | Enable input | Active-high logic control to activate/deactivate charging path; tied high internally if unused. |
| 2 (D+) | USB data positive | Bi-directional signal path with ±4kV ESD protection; routed through switch matrix during charge mode. |
| 3 (D−) | USB data negative | Paired with Pin 2; maintains differential impedance and signal symmetry in pass-through mode. |
| 4 (VBUS_IN) | Input power source | Accepts 4.75–5.25V from upstream USB port; feeds internal regulator and switch FETs. |
| 5 (VBUS_OUT) | Output power rail | Delivers regulated 5V to downstream device only after valid detection; includes overcurrent foldback. |
| 6 (GND) | Power ground | Primary return path for VBUS switching and ESD clamp currents; connects to thermal pad. |
| 7 (ID) | Device identification sense | Analog input monitoring D+/D− voltage divider ratio to determine attached device class (Apple/BC1.2/etc.). |
| 8 (MODE) | Mode select output | Open-drain status signal indicating active charging mode (e.g., DCP, Apple 2.1A) for host monitoring. |
| 9 (FAULT) | Fault indicator | Active-low open-drain output pulsed on overcurrent or thermal shutdown; resets automatically after fault clears. |
| 10 (EPAD) | Thermal pad | Electrically connected to GND; mandatory solder connection for thermal dissipation and EMI suppression. |
Key Features

| Integrated ±4kV IEC61000-4-2 ESD protection on D+/D− | Reduces BOM count by removing external TVS diodes while meeting industrial-level surge immunity. |
| VBUS pass-through with short-to-rail protection | Prevents catastrophic failure if D+/D− are accidentally shorted to VBUS during cable insertion or hot-plug events. |
| Sub-100μA quiescent current in sleep mode | Enables compliance with Energy Star 7.0 and EU CoC Tier 2 standby power limits for notebook OEMs. |
| Configurable enable timing and fault reporting | Supports precise coordination with host power-state transitions (S3/S4) and system-level fault logging via MODE/FAULT pins. |
Applications
| Smartphone Charging in Notebook Sleep Mode | Tablet Fast-Charge Negotiation |
|---|---|
Use Scenario: User connects iPhone to sleeping laptop via USB-A port and expects immediate 2.1A charging without waking host OS. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Acts as autonomous charging controller that detects Apple resistor signature on D+/D− within 100ms and asserts VBUS_OUT before host resumes. Use Value: Delivers full 2.1A at 5V without enumeration, reducing charge start latency from >5s (host-wake dependent) to <200ms. | Use Scenario: Samsung Galaxy Tab negotiates BC1.2 Dedicated Charging Port (DCP) mode when plugged into ultrabook USB port in S3 suspend. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Identifies DCP signature (D+ = D− = 200kΩ), enables VBUS path, and asserts MODE pin to notify EC of active charging state. Use Value: Enables 1.5A charging at 5V while maintaining S3 power budget (<15mW), avoiding wake-event conflicts. |
| MP3 Player Legacy Charging Support | USB Peripheral Power Management |
Use Scenario: Older MP3 player with non-standard 1.2kΩ D+/D− pull-up draws 500mA from notebook USB port during hibernation (S4). IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Recognizes SDP-like signature, validates VBUS stability, then gates power using internal FET with <10ns turn-on delay. Use Value: Provides safe 500mA charging without violating USB 2.0 VBUS droop limits (<10% at 500mA) or triggering host overcurrent protection. | Use Scenario: External USB DAC enters low-power idle; host must disable VBUS to reduce system leakage. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Receives EN deassertion from EC, disconnects VBUS_OUT within 1μs, and asserts FAULT pulse to confirm clean power removal. Use Value: Reduces standby power by 2.5mW per port versus always-on VBUS, critical for fanless embedded designs. |

FAQ
Does PI5USB14550-AZEEX require external firmware or host CPU intervention to detect charging devices?
No. The IC uses hardware-based analog comparators and state machines to detect D+/D− voltage signatures autonomously. It identifies Apple, BC1.2 DCP/CDP/SDP, and legacy patterns without any host processor interaction, enabling charging during S3/S4 sleep states where CPU and USB controller are powered down.
Can PI5USB14550-AZEEX be used in USB-C applications?
No. It is designed exclusively for USB-A downstream ports with standard D+/D− signaling. USB-C requires CC pin detection, alternate mode negotiation, and higher VBUS current capability-functions not supported by this device. Use Diodes' AP22653 or PI5USB30212 for USB-C PD applications.
What is the maximum continuous current supported on VBUS_OUT?
The device supports up to 2.1A continuous output current on VBUS_OUT under TA = 25°C with proper PCB copper area and thermal pad soldering. Derating applies above 60°C ambient; full 2.1A is guaranteed only with ≥100mm² 2oz copper connected to EPAD and ≤25°C case temperature.
Is the PI5USB14550-AZEEX compliant with USB Battery Charging Specification Revision 1.2?
Yes. It fully implements BC1.2 DCP, CDP, and SDP detection logic and timing requirements-including D+/D− voltage thresholds, detection windows, and VBUS stabilization delays-verified against USB-IF test plans for host-side charging switches.
