Product details
Overview
STUSB4500LBJR from STMicroelectronics is a standalone USB Type-C™ sink port controller in WLCSP-25 (2.6×2.6×0.5 mm) package, supporting 5 V-only power delivery up to 3 A (15 W), dead battery mode operation, integrated VBUS switch gate drivers for PMOS, VBUS voltage monitoring with 3.3 V–22 V input range, and short-to-VBUS protection on CC pins. It enables immediate charging startup in battery-dead systems such as portable medical devices and IoT sensors.
For engineers reviewing the STUSB4500LBJR datasheet, STUSB4500LBJR pinout, STUSB4500LBJR application, or STUSB4500LBJR equivalent, key selection criteria include its auto-run sink control logic, dual CC-line high-voltage tolerance (22 V), I²C-configurable NVM settings, RP_3A/RP_1A5 current capability reporting, and VBUS_EN_SNK active-low PMOS gate drive capability.
Technical Context
The STUSB4500LBJR implements a hardware-based USB Type-C sink state machine without firmware dependency, resolving cable orientation via A_B_SIDE output and detecting source attachment through CC1/CC2 voltage threshold evaluation. It enforces VBUS validity checks using VBUS_VS_DISCH input with programmable overvoltage threshold (VBUS+5% to VBUS+20%) before asserting VBUS_EN_SNK.
Its dead battery mode relies on CC1DB/CC2DB pins to maintain Rp pull-down termination on CC lines even when VSYS = 0 V, enabling VBUS-powered wake-up. Hardware fault management triggers ErrorRecovery state on CC overvoltage (> VOVP) or junction overtemperature, de-asserting VBUS_EN_SNK, RP_3A, RP_1A5, and CC terminations.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | VDD = 4.1 V to 22 V - powers device directly from VBUS; zero local battery consumption in dead-battery mode |
| Max Sink Current | 3 A at 5 V - supports full USB Type-C medium-power sink profile (15 W) |
| CC Pin Voltage Tolerance | 22 V - protects against short-to-VBUS faults without external clamping |
| I²C Interface Speed | Up to 400 kHz - enables real-time status readback and NVM configuration of GPIO, discharge timing, and overvoltage thresholds |
| Operating Temperature | −40 °C to +105 °C - qualified for industrial and portable medical equipment environments |
| ESD Rating | 3 kV HBM, 1.5 kV CDM - meets robustness requirements for handheld and field-deployed peripherals |
| VBUS Monitoring Thresholds | VTHUSB = 3.3 V (fixed), VMONUSBH = VBUS+5% to VBUS+20% (NVM-programmable) - ensures safe power path enable only within valid USB PD voltage window |
Pinout & Package
STUSB4500LBJR uses WLCSP-25 package (2.6 × 2.6 × 0.5 mm, 0.4 mm pitch), optimized for space-constrained USB-C receptacle integration in portable electronics. Pin functions are validated per STMicroelectronics DS13102 Rev 6 (2022).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CC1 / CC2 | Configuration Channel Inputs | Hi-Z during reset; detect source attachment, cable orientation, and Rp value (default/1.5 A/3 A) per USB Type-C spec |
| VBUS_EN_SNK | High-Voltage Open-Drain Output | Drives external PMOS gate to enable VBUS power path; active-low, 22 V tolerant |
| RP_3A / RP_1A5 | Open-Drain Status Outputs | Indicate source's advertised current capability (3 A or 1.5 A); Hi-Z when no source attached |
| A_B_SIDE | USB SuperSpeed MUX Control | Active-low output indicating CC line assignment (CC1 or CC2 connected to upstream CC); enables correct USB 3.x data routing |
| ATTACH | Attachment Detection Output | Active-low open-drain signal asserted upon valid source-to-sink connection or debug accessory detection |
| DISCH / VBUS_VS_DISCH | Discharge Path Control & Sensing | DISCH: controls internal/external VBUS discharge (max 500 mA); VBUS_VS_DISCH: senses VBUS and discharges receptacle-side capacitance (max 50 mA) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-run sink control | Hardware FSM executes full USB Type-C attach/detach sequence without MCU intervention - enables instant power-on and charging start in dead-battery systems |
| Dead battery support | CC1DB/CC2DB pins enable Rp pull-down on CC lines with VDD = VBUS only - allows system boot from fully discharged battery via VBUS |
| Programmable VBUS overvoltage threshold | NVM-configurable VMONUSBH from VBUS+5% to VBUS+20% - adapts protection window to specific host compliance margins or legacy adapter behavior |
| Integrated discharge paths | Dual discharge control: internal path via VBUS_VS_DISCH (≤50 mA), external path via DISCH (≤500 mA) - meets USB-C disconnection timing requirements |
| Debug accessory detection | GPIO pin configurable to assert on DTS detection (both CC pins pulled up) - enables test-mode entry in production diagnostics or field service tools |
Applications
| Portable Medical Sensors | USB-C Powered IoT Endpoints |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB Type-C sink controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TUSB320LAIRTER | Supports both sink and source roles; requires external MCU for configuration; no integrated VBUS discharge path | Used in dual-role accessories (e.g., USB-C docks); lacks dead battery mode and auto-run capability | Select when bidirectional role flexibility is required and system MCU can manage Type-C state machine |
| IP2721 | Integrated buck converter; supports 5 V/9 V/12 V/15 V/20 V PD input; no WLCSP option; higher quiescent current (120 µA) | Targeted at multi-voltage PD sink devices (e.g., monitors); not optimized for 5 V-only, ultra-low-power portable use | Select when downstream system requires regulated 3.3 V/5 V rails directly from VBUS, not just pass-through control |
Compared with TUSB320LAIRTER and IP2721, STUSB4500LBJR delivers lowest system-level complexity for 5 V-only sink applications - eliminating MCU dependency, integrating discharge paths, and enabling true zero-power dead-battery startup in sub-3 mm² footprint.

FAQ
Does STUSB4500LBJR support USB Power Delivery (PD) communication beyond 5 V?
No. STUSB4500LBJR is strictly a USB Type-C sink controller for 5 V-only operation. It does not implement BMC PD protocol, VDMs, or SOP'/SOP" message handling. It reports only default/1.5 A/3 A current capability via RP_1A5 and RP_3A pins, compliant with USB Type-C 1.4 specification for fixed 5 V sinks.
Can STUSB4500LBJR operate without an external MCU?
Yes. Its auto-run architecture executes the complete USB Type-C sink state machine in hardware, including CC detection, VBUS validation, orientation resolution, and power-path enable - requiring no firmware or I²C initialization for basic operation. I²C is optional for advanced configuration (e.g., NVM tuning, GPIO remapping).
What is the function of the VSYS pin, and is it mandatory?
VSYS provides a low-power auxiliary supply (3.3 V–5 V) for biasing internal regulators when VBUS is absent. It is not mandatory: if unused, VSYS must be tied to GND. In dead-battery mode, STUSB4500LBJR operates solely from VDD = VBUS, making VSYS optional for pure VBUS-powered designs.
How does STUSB4500LBJR handle VBUS disconnection events?
On disconnection, STUSB4500LBJR automatically activates internal discharge paths via VBUS_VS_DISCH (receptacle side) and DISCH (system side), with discharge duration programmable via NVM. It asserts ATTACH low, disables VBUS_EN_SNK, and clears RP_1A5/RP_3A outputs - all within <10 ms - meeting USB-C specification tDISUSB0V timing requirements.
