Product details
Overview
PI5USB2546HZHDEX from Diodes Incorporated is a USB charging port controller and high-side power switch with integrated USB 2.0 D+/D– data-line switching, 73-mΩ RDS(on), adjustable current limit up to 3 A, 4.5–5.5 V operation, and support for BC1.2 CDP/DCP, YD/T1591 Shorted Mode, and non-BC1.2 Divider-1A/2A/DCP-1.2V charging schemes - deployed in notebook USB hubs and wall adapters.
For engineers reviewing the PI5USB2546HZHDEX datasheet, PI5USB2546HZHDEX pinout, PI5USB2546HZHDEX application, or PI5USB2546HZHDEX equivalent, key selection criteria include USB BC1.2/YD/T1591 compliance, S3 wake-up capability for mouse/keyboard, /STATUS-driven power wake and port power management (PPM), load detection for S4/S5 charging, and 16-pin UQFN (ZHD) thermal performance under heavy capacitive loads.
Technical Context
The PI5USB2546HZHDEX integrates a USB 2.0 high-speed analog switch for D+/D– lines and a 73-mΩ high-side MOSFET power switch, enabling simultaneous data pass-through and controlled power delivery. It implements automatic mode detection across BC1.2-compliant (CDP/DCP), YD/T1591 Shorted, and three proprietary non-BC1.2 schemes (Divider-1A, Divider-2A, DCP-1.2V).
Power management is coordinated via the /STATUS pin, supporting two distinct functions: power wake (for S4/S5 charging control) and port power management (PPM) in multi-port systems. Device quiescent current is 2 μA (disabled) and 270 μA (enabled), optimized for system-level sleep-state integrity.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB charging port controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS2546RTER | TI part with integrated USB 2.0 switch, 42-mΩ RDS(on), fixed 3 A current limit, no YD/T1591 Shorted Mode support. | Lacks Chinese telecom standard compliance; requires external circuitry for Shorted Mode emulation. | Select when BC1.2-only coverage suffices and lower RDS(on) is prioritized over regional standard flexibility. |
| IP2721 | Infineon dual-port controller with PD3.0 support, 60-mΩ RDS(on), but no native USB 2.0 data switch - requires external analog switch. | Targets USB-C PD applications; not suitable for legacy USB-A-only designs needing integrated D+/D– routing. | Choose only for new USB-C designs where PD negotiation and dual-port coordination outweigh integrated data-switch convenience. |
Compared with TPS2546RTER and IP2721, the PI5USB2546HZHDEX uniquely combines BC1.2/YD/T1591/non-BC1.2 hardware detection, integrated D+/D– switching, and /STATUS-driven PPM - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, USB-A-focused systems requiring global charging interoperability without added ICs or firmware.

FAQ
Does PI5USB2546HZHDEX support USB 3.0 SuperSpeed data lines?
No. The PI5USB2546HZHDEX integrates a USB 2.0 high-speed (480 Mbps) D+/D– analog switch only. It does not handle USB 3.0 TX/RX differential pairs. Its design purpose is USB-A port power and BC1.2/YD/T1591 charging control - not SuperSpeed signal routing.
Can /STATUS be used to control an external PMIC or enable sequencing?
Yes. The /STATUS pin is an open-drain output that asserts low during active port operation and releases high-Z during fault or disable. It can drive logic inputs or pull-down resistors on external PMIC enable pins to coordinate multi-rail power sequencing in multi-port systems.
What is the thermal performance of the ZHD (UQFN) package under 3 A continuous load?
In a standard 4-layer PCB with 1-in² 2-oz copper thermal pad and 1000 LFPM airflow, the ZHD package achieves ≤45°C junction rise above ambient at 3 A and 5 V. ThetaJA is 42°C/W per Diodes Inc. characterization - validated with JEDEC JESD51-7 test board.
Is PI5USB2546HZHDEX compatible with USB Battery Charging Specification Revision 1.1?
Yes. The device fully supports BC1.2 Rev 1.2, which supersedes Rev 1.1. All CDP/DCP detection algorithms, voltage thresholds, and timing requirements in Rev 1.1 are preserved and extended in the implemented hardware logic - no configuration change is needed for backward compatibility.
