Product details
Overview
PI5USB2546HZHEX 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 (typ.), 4.5–5.5 V operation, and support for BC1.2 CDP/DCP, YD/T1591 Shorted Mode, and non-BC1.2 Divider-1A/Divider-2A/DCP-1.2V charging in notebook host ports and universal wall adapters.
For engineers reviewing the PI5USB2546HZHEX datasheet, PI5USB2546HZHEX pinout, PI5USB2546HZHEX application, or PI5USB2546HZHEX equivalent, key selection criteria include its dual-role USB data/power switching capability, programmable current thresholds for load detection and S4/S5 charging control, /STATUS-driven power wake and port power management (PPM), and TQFN-16 package compatibility with USB 2.0/3.0 power switch requirements.
Technical Context
The PI5USB2546HZHEX integrates a high-speed analog switch for USB 2.0 D+/D– lines and a 73-mΩ high-side MOSFET power switch in a single die, enabling simultaneous data path routing and load-controlled power delivery. It implements automatic charging mode detection across BC1.2-compliant and legacy schemes without external configuration.
Its /STATUS pin delivers two distinct power management signals: power wake (for S4/S5 charging enable) and port power management (PPM) for dynamic current allocation in multi-port systems. Current-limit and load-detect thresholds are independently programmable via external resistors, supporting precise system-level power sequencing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| RDS(on) | 73 mΩ (typ.) - Enables low-loss power distribution under 3 A load, minimizing thermal rise in compact USB port designs. |
| Operating Voltage | 4.5 V to 5.5 V - Matches standard USB 5 V supply rails and tolerates input ripple without regulation. |
| Adjustable Current Limit | Up to 3 A (typ.) - Configurable via external resistor to match port-specific safety and cable loss requirements. |
| Quiescent Current | 2 μA (disabled), 270 μA (enabled) - Supports ultra-low-power sleep-mode charging and S3 wake-up without battery drain. |
| USB Data Switch | Integrated D+/D– high-speed switch - Maintains full USB 2.0 signal integrity (480 Mbps) while isolating host during charge-only modes. |
| Charging Modes | BC1.2 CDP/DCP, YD/T1591 Shorted, Divider-1A/2A, DCP-1.2V - Covers global fast-charge standards without firmware or host intervention. |

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 device uses internal current-sense amplifier; fixed 1.5 A current limit; no YD/T1591 support. | Targeted at USB-C PD source designs with tighter thermal constraints; lacks Shorted Mode compliance. | Select when integrating with TI ecosystem and prioritizing precision current monitoring over multi-standard charging. |
| RT1711H | Richtek part offers 40-mΩ RDS(on) but requires external D+/D– switch; supports same BC1.2/YD/T1591 modes. | Better suited for high-current single-port adapters where board area allows discrete data switching. | Choose for lower conduction loss where added component count and layout complexity are acceptable. |
Compared with TPS2546RTER and RT1711H, the PI5USB2546HZHEX uniquely combines integrated D+/D– switching, 73-mΩ RDS(on), and full YD/T1591 Shorted Mode support in a 3×3 mm TQFN, making it optimal for space-limited multi-standard USB host ports requiring zero-host-intervention charging.

FAQ
What USB charging standards does the PI5USB2546HZHEX support?
The PI5USB2546HZHEX supports USB Battery Charging Specification 1.2 (CDP and DCP modes), Chinese Telecommunication Industry Standard YD/T1591-2009 (Shorted Mode), and three non-BC1.2 legacy modes: Divider-1A, Divider-2A, and DCP-1.2V. All mode detection is fully hardware-based with no firmware or host interaction required.
How does the /STATUS pin function in power wake and port power management?
The /STATUS pin operates as an open-drain output that asserts low during either power wake (indicating valid load detection in S4/S5 states) or port power management events (signaling overcurrent or load change in multi-port systems). Its dual-function behavior is determined by internal state machine logic, not external configuration.
Can the PI5USB2546HZHEX be used in USB 3.0 applications?
Yes - the PI5USB2546HZHEX is compatible with USB 3.0 power switch requirements. Its integrated D+/D– switch handles only the USB 2.0 data path, leaving SuperSpeed TX/RX lanes unaffected. The 73-mΩ RDS(on) and 4.5–5.5 V operation meet USB 3.0 VBUS switching specifications for host and hub applications.
What is the thermal performance of the ZH (TQFN-16) package?
The ZH package features a 3 mm × 3 mm footprint with an exposed thermal pad. Diodes Incorporated specifies θJA = 60°C/W (JEDEC JESD51-7, 2-layer board) and θJC = 12°C/W (junction-to-case). At 3 A continuous load and 5 V input, junction temperature rise remains within safe limits when the thermal pad is soldered to a ≥1 cm² copper pour.
