Product details
Overview
STUSB4500BJR from STMicroelectronics is a standalone USB Type-C™ and Power Delivery (PD) sink controller IC implementing auto-run mode for autonomous 100 W (20 V / 5 A) power contract negotiation without MCU support. It integrates non-volatile memory for configurable sink PDO profiles, supports dead battery mode, and features high-voltage CC pin protection up to 22 V and VBUS tolerance up to 28 V - deployed in IoT edge devices and portable medical equipment requiring reliable high-power USB-C charging.
For engineers reviewing the STUSB4500BJR datasheet, STUSB4500BJR pinout, STUSB4500BJR application, or STUSB4500BJR equivalent, this device delivers verified USB PD rev 2.0 compliance (TID #1000133), dual high-power charging path control, integrated VBUS switch gate drivers, and short-to-VBUS protection critical for robust sink-side power management in battery-powered systems.
Technical Context
The STUSB4500BJR implements a hardware-based policy engine with proprietary decision algorithm that autonomously negotiates USB PD contracts by comparing up to three pre-programmed sink PDOs against source capabilities - prioritizing highest-voltage match first, then current. It operates across dual supply rails (VSYS: 3.0–5.5 V; VDD: 4.1–22 V) and manages attachment detection, cable orientation (A/B side), and debug accessory mode via dedicated pins.
Its physical layer handles BMC-encoded PD messaging over CC1/CC2 with built-in CRC validation and SOP/EOP detection, while the protocol layer manages retry counters, GoodCRC handling, and message scheduling. Hardware fault management includes short-to-VBUS protection on CC pins, thermal monitoring, and programmable discharge timing for VBUS_VS_DISCH and DISCH pins.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB PD sink controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TUSB320LAIR | USB Type-C port controller only - no PD negotiation; requires external MCU for PD stack | Limited to 5 V / 3 A default USB power; no dead battery mode or NVM-configurable PDOs | Select when PD functionality is handled externally and cost sensitivity outweighs autonomy needs |
| Renesas UPD350A | PD 3.0-compliant sink controller with firmware-upgradable NVM; supports PPS and variable voltage | Requires external flash and bootloader; larger QFN-40 package vs. WLCSP-25 footprint | Select when future-proofing for Programmable Power Supply (PPS) or field firmware updates is required |
Compared with TUSB320LAIR and UPD350A, the STUSB4500BJR uniquely delivers plug-and-play 100 W PD negotiation in a 2.6 mm² WLCSP without MCU or external memory - ideal for cost- and size-constrained battery-powered sinks where deterministic startup and dead battery recovery are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the role of the CC1DB and CC2DB pins?
CC1DB and CC2DB enable dead battery mode by activating internal pull-down resistors on CC1 and CC2 pins even when the device has no supply voltage. When connected to their respective CC pins, they ensure the USB-C source detects the sink immediately upon cable insertion - critical for systems booting from 0 V battery state. If dead battery mode is unused, both pins must be grounded.
How does the STUSB4500BJR handle multiple PDO negotiations?
The STUSB4500BJR uses a priority-based hardware decision algorithm: it compares received source PDOs against its three NVM-stored sink PDOs starting from PDO3 (highest priority). A match requires identical voltage and sink current ≤ source current. Upon first match, it sends an RDO and waits for PS_READY - no software or MCU involvement is needed at any stage of negotiation.
Can the STUSB4500BJR support USB PD 3.0 features like PPS?
No - the STUSB4500BJR is certified for USB PD rev 2.0 (TID #1000133) and implements fixed-voltage PDO negotiation only. It does not support Programmable Power Supply (PPS), Fast Role Swap (FRS), or extended messages defined in PD 3.0. Its auto-run architecture is optimized for deterministic, low-latency 20 V / 5 A contracts without firmware complexity.
What is the function of the VBUS_VS_DISCH pin beyond voltage monitoring?
VBUS_VS_DISCH serves as both a VBUS presence monitor and a controlled discharge path: it senses VBUS voltage level for state transitions and - when configured with an external series resistor - actively discharges the receptacle-side VBUS capacitance during cable detachment or PDO downshift. Its maximum discharge current is 50 mA, and timing is programmable via NVM to match system capacitance requirements.
