Product details
Overview
STUSB4500QTR 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 intervention. It integrates non-volatile memory for up to three configurable sink PDOs, supports dead battery mode, and features dual high-power charging path control with integrated PMOS gate drivers and 28 V-rated VBUS pins.
For engineers reviewing the STUSB4500QTR datasheet, STUSB4500QTR pinout, STUSB4500QTR application, or STUSB4500QTR equivalent, key selection criteria include its 22 V short-to-VBUS protection on CC pins, dual supply operation (VSYS: 3.0–5.5 V; VDD: 4.1–22 V), -40 °C to 105 °C industrial temperature range, and USB PD 2.0 certification (TID #1000133).
Technical Context
The STUSB4500QTR implements a hardware-based policy engine with proprietary decision algorithm that autonomously negotiates PD contracts by comparing up to three NVM-programmed sink PDOs against source capabilities-prioritizing highest-voltage match first, then current. It handles full Type-C attach detection, cable orientation (A/B-side output), debug accessory mode, and USB 2.0/SS MUX control signaling.
Its physical layer supports BMC-encoded PD messaging over CC1/CC2, with integrated VBUS voltage monitoring (VBUS_VS_DISCH), programmable internal/external discharge paths, and high-voltage open-drain outputs (POWER_OK2, VBUS_EN_SNK) capable of directly driving PMOS switches. All protections-including 22 V CC short-to-VBUS tolerance and 3 kV HBM ESD-are silicon-verified per USB-IF compliance test reports.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| TUSB8041RJER | USB 3.0 hub + PD sink controller combo; requires external MCU for PD policy; no dead battery mode | Targeted at host-side USB hubs-not standalone sink devices | Select when USB data switching and PD control must coexist in same package; not suitable for MCU-less designs |
| IP2721 | Single-chip PD sink + buck converter; integrates 5 V/3 A DC-DC; lacks 20 V VBUS rating and 22 V CC protection | Optimized for cost-sensitive consumer accessories below 15 W | Select only for 5 V–12 V applications with integrated regulation; unsuitable for 20 V industrial or medical use |
Compared with TUSB8041RJER and IP2721, STUSB4500QTR uniquely delivers true MCU-free 100 W negotiation, industrial-grade voltage ratings, and certified dead battery operation-making it the only choice for autonomous, high-reliability sink systems requiring USB PD 2.0 compliance at full 20 V/5 A.

FAQ
Does STUSB4500QTR require firmware programming to operate in auto-run mode?
No. Auto-run mode is implemented entirely in hardware using a proprietary decision algorithm stored in ROM. The device negotiates USB PD contracts autonomously after power-up using up to three NVM-configured sink PDOs-no external MCU, firmware, or runtime configuration is needed. NVM programming is optional and performed once during manufacturing using ST's dedicated tooling.
Can STUSB4500QTR support USB PD 3.0 sources?
Yes. While certified to USB PD 2.0 (TID #1000133), the STUSB4500QTR is interoperable with USB PD 3.0 sources in sink mode. It adheres to the USB PD specification's backward compatibility rules, accepting PDOs and responding to RDOs from PD 3.0 sources-but does not implement extended features like Fast Role Swap or Programmable Power Supply (PPS) negotiation.
What is the function of the VBUS_VS_DISCH pin beyond voltage monitoring?
VBUS_VS_DISCH serves three roles: (1) senses VBUS presence and magnitude for state machine transitions; (2) monitors overvoltage conditions to trigger hardware fault responses; and (3) provides a 50 mA internal discharge path activated automatically during cable removal, PDO downshift, or error recovery-reducing VBUS decay time without external components.
How does dead battery mode work without external power?
Dead battery mode uses CC1DB and CC2DB pins to activate internal pull-down resistors on CC1/CC2 even when VSYS and VDD are at 0 V. This allows the USB-C source to detect the sink and initiate VBUS supply before the STUSB4500QTR powers up. Once VDD rises above 4.1 V, the device takes full control of the PD negotiation and power path enabling.
