Product details
Overview
STUSB4500LQTR from STMicroelectronics is a standalone USB Type-C™ sink port controller for 5 V-only applications up to 3 A (15 W), supporting dead battery mode, integrated VBUS switch gate drivers, VBUS voltage monitoring, and short-to-VBUS protection on CC pins. It operates with VDD from 4.1 V to 22 V, enables immediate charging on cold start, and reports source current capability (default/1.5 A/3 A) via RP_3A/RP_1A5 outputs - used in battery-powered IoT devices, printers, and USB-C accessories.
For engineers reviewing the STUSB4500LQTR datasheet, STUSB4500LQTR pinout, STUSB4500LQTR application, or STUSB4500LQTR equivalent, key selection considerations include its auto-run Type-C sink behavior, high-voltage CC pin tolerance (22 V), I²C-configurable NVM settings, dead battery support without external firmware, and QFN-24 EP (4×4 mm) package compatibility with USB 2.0 and SuperSpeed MUX control.
Technical Context
The STUSB4500LQTR implements a hardware-based USB Type-C sink state machine that autonomously detects attachment, resolves cable orientation via A_B_SIDE, identifies source vs. debug accessory, and asserts VBUS_EN_SNK only when VBUS_VS_DISCH confirms valid voltage (3.3 V–22 V). It integrates dual high-voltage analog front-ends on CC1/CC2 and CC1DB/CC2DB to maintain Rp termination during dead battery mode.
Its power architecture uses VDD directly from VBUS (4.1–22 V), eliminating local battery drain, while internal 1.2 V and 2.7 V regulators (VREG_1V2/VREG_2V7) supply core logic. Hardware fault management triggers ErrorRecovery on overtemperature or CC overvoltage (>VOVP), deasserting VBUS_EN_SNK and terminations within defined timing limits per USB Type-C rev 1.4.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TUSB320LIRGTR | Supports dual-role (DRP) and source mode; requires external MCU for sink configuration; no integrated VBUS gate driver | Used where bidirectional port flexibility is needed; lacks auto-run and dead battery features | Select when system requires DRP capability and can implement firmware-based sink control |
| IP2721 | Integrated buck converter for system power; supports PD3.0 negotiation; larger QFN-32 package; higher cost | Targeted at PD-enabled devices needing >5 V or programmable voltage; not 5 V-only optimized | Select when USB Power Delivery beyond 5 V/3 A is required and bill-of-materials allow added complexity |
Compared with TUSB320LIRGTR and IP2721, STUSB4500LQTR delivers lowest-system-complexity 5 V sink control with zero-software dependency, dedicated dead battery support, and tighter thermal/power envelope - ideal for cost-sensitive, battery-constrained USB-C peripherals.

FAQ
Does STUSB4500LQTR support USB Power Delivery (PD) voltage negotiation?
No. STUSB4500LQTR is strictly a 5 V-only sink controller compliant with USB Type-C rev 1.4 basic power role. It does not implement BMC communication, PD message parsing, or variable-voltage negotiation. It reports only default/1.5 A/3 A current capability at 5 V via RP pins and GPIO.
Can STUSB4500LQTR operate without an external MCU?
Yes. Its auto-run architecture enables full USB-C sink functionality - including attachment detection, VBUS enablement, current reporting, and fault recovery - without any host processor or firmware. I²C is optional for advanced configuration or status monitoring.
What is the purpose of the CC1DB and CC2DB pins?
CC1DB and CC2DB enable dead battery mode by connecting to CC1/CC2 respectively. This maintains pull-down termination on the CC lines even when VDD is unpowered, allowing a source to detect the sink and supply VBUS before the IC is energized - essential for cold-start battery charging.
How is thermal protection implemented in STUSB4500LQTR?
Internal junction temperature sensing triggers automatic entry into ErrorRecovery state if TJ exceeds maximum rating. This disables VBUS_EN_SNK, removes CC terminations, and asserts GPIO (if configured for ERROR_RECOVERY), ensuring fail-safe shutdown without host intervention.
