Texas Instruments TPS2513DBVR

Overview

TPS2513DBVR from Texas Instruments is a dual-port USB Dedicated Charging Port (DCP) controller that implements BC1.2, YD/T 1591-2009, Divider 1/2, and 1.2-V DCP detection schemes. It operates from 4.5 V to 5.5 V, delivers precise DP1/DM1 and DP2/DM2 output voltages (e.g., 2.7 V / 2.0 V or 2.7 V / 2.7 V), and supports automatic mode switching for smartphone/tablet fast-charging in vehicle USB chargers and AC-DC adapters.

For engineers reviewing the TPS2513DBVR datasheet, TPS2513DBVR pinout, TPS2513DBVR application, or TPS2513DBVR equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world charging protocol support, SOT-23-6 package integration details, and validated alternative options - all grounded in TI's production-grade SLVSBY8D specification.

Technical Context

The TPS2513DBVR integrates dual independent DCP detection channels with auto-detect logic that monitors D+ and D− line voltages to select among six compliant charging signatures: BC1.2 short mode (≤200 Ω), YD/T 1591-2009 short mode, Divider 1 (2.0 V / 2.7 V), Divider 2 (2.7 V / 2.0 V), Divider 3 (2.7 V / 2.7 V), and 1.2 V / 1.2 V mode. Each channel features programmable output impedance (24–36 kΩ in divider mode; 80–130 kΩ in 1.2 V mode) and UVLO with 4.1 V turn-on threshold and 100 mV hysteresis.

It uses internal analog comparators and switch matrices to drive DP1/DM1 and DP2/DM2 pins with accurate voltage levels while maintaining ±10 mA continuous sink/source capability per data line. The device does not regulate VBUS power but solely manages data-line signaling to enable up to 1.5 A charging current negotiation by attached portable devices.

Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives

The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB DCP controller applications.

Compared with TPS2513DBVR, TPS2513ADBVR sacrifices BC1.2 and Divider 1/2 support for enhanced 2.7 V / 2.7 V accuracy, while FPF2195BUCX trades dual-port flexibility for integrated OVP - making TPS2513DBVR the only option supporting full global fast-charge protocol coverage in dual-port designs.

FAQ

What charging protocols does the TPS2513DBVR support?

The TPS2513DBVR supports six USB charging protocols: BC1.2 short mode (D+–D− ≤200 Ω), YD/T 1591-2009 short mode, Divider 1 (2.0 V / 2.7 V), Divider 2 (2.7 V / 2.0 V), Divider 3 (2.7 V / 2.7 V), and 1.2 V / 1.2 V mode. Its auto-detect circuitry identifies attached devices and applies the correct signature without external configuration - enabling broad smartphone and tablet compatibility out-of-the-box.

Is the TPS2513DBVR pin-compatible with the TPS2513ADBVR?

No, the TPS2513DBVR and TPS2513ADBVR are not pin-compatible. While both use SOT-23-6 packages, their pin functions differ: TPS2513DBVR uses pins 3 (DP2) and 4 (DM2) for its second DCP channel, whereas TPS2513ADBVR assigns pins 3 and 4 as no-connect (N/C). Swapping them would disable dual-port functionality and risk incorrect signaling - always verify pin mapping against respective datasheets before board reuse.

Can the TPS2513DBVR control VBUS power delivery?

No, the TPS2513DBVR does not control or regulate VBUS power. It is a pure data-line signaling controller: it drives DP1/DM1 and DP2/DM2 pins with precise voltages or shorting states to communicate charging capability to attached devices. VBUS power must be provided separately - typically via an upstream DC-DC converter or linear regulator - and the TPS2513DBVR has no power-switching capability.

What is the maximum continuous current the TPS2513DBVR can handle on its data lines?

The TPS2513DBVR supports ±10 mA continuous sink or source current per DP/DM pin (DP1, DM1, DP2, DM2), as specified in the Recommended Operating Conditions table. This rating ensures reliable operation with standard USB cables and connectors while maintaining voltage accuracy across the full –40°C to 125°C junction temperature range - sufficient for all BC1.2 and YD/T 1591-2009 detection requirements.

Does the TPS2513DBVR include built-in ESD protection?

Yes, the TPS2513DBVR includes robust on-die ESD protection: ±6000 V HBM on pins 1, 3, 4, and 6 (DP1, DP2, DM2, DM1), and ±2000 V HBM on pin 5 (IN), per ANSI/ESDA/JEDEC JS-001. This eliminates the need for external ESD diodes in most USB charger designs - reducing component count and PCB area while meeting IEC 61000-4-2 Level 4 (±8 kV contact) system-level requirements when combined with proper layout practices.
