Product details
Overview
TPS25741ARSMT from Texas Instruments is a USB Type-C™ and USB Power Delivery 2.0–compliant host port controller in a 32-pin VQFN (4.0 mm × 4.0 mm) package. It implements source-side PD negotiation, supports 5 V/12 V/20 V @ 3 A voltage profiles, integrates dual gate drivers (GDPG/GDNG), provides IEC 61000-4-2 ±8-kV contact ESD protection on CC pins, and delivers 5.4 µA quiescent current in unattached sleep mode - enabling robust, low-power USB-C host ports in desktops and docking stations.
For engineers reviewing the TPS25741ARSMT datasheet, TPS25741ARSMT pinout, TPS25741ARSMT application, or TPS25741ARSMT equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world implementation constraints (e.g., CTL1/CTL2 for external DC-DC control, GDNG/G5V for NMOS power path), and validated alternative options - all grounded in TI's SLVSDJ5D revision D production data.
Technical Context
The TPS25741ARSMT operates as a full-featured USB-C DFP (Downstream Facing Port) controller with integrated PD protocol engine, CC line monitoring, and hardware-based voltage advertisement via HIPWR/PSEL/EN12V pins. It supports both power mux and DC-DC architectures: in power mux mode, GDPG, GDNG, GDNS, and G5V drive external MOSFETs; in DC-DC mode, only GDNG and CTL1/CTL2 interface with an external regulator.
Its protection suite includes fast/slow OVP/UVP on VBUS (e.g., 6.05 V fast OVP for 5 V contract), overtemperature shutdown, VBUS discharge via open-drain DSCG, and fault override via GD input. The device asserts UFP and POL outputs to indicate sink attachment and polarity, while DVDD supplies a regulated 1.85 V/35 mA rail for auxiliary circuitry.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB-C host port controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TPS65987D | Integrates full PD policy engine, ARM Cortex-M0+ MCU, and USB 3.1 Gen 2 support; requires firmware development and external crystal. | Supports dual-role port (DRP), programmable PDOs, and advanced features like SOP′ messaging - suited for adaptive, software-defined ports. | Select TPS65987D when firmware flexibility, DRP capability, or USB 3.1 Gen 2 data routing is required; TPS25741ARSMT is preferred for fixed-profile, low-BOM, hardware-only solutions. |
| FUSB302B | USB-C controller only (no PD protocol engine); requires external MCU for PD messaging and power state management. | Lacks integrated PD stack, gate drivers, and DVDD rail - mandates additional components for complete PD source implementation. | Choose FUSB302B only in MCU-rich systems where software handles PD negotiation; TPS25741ARSMT delivers turnkey PD sourcing with zero firmware dependency. |
Compared with TPS65987D and FUSB302B, the TPS25741ARSMT offers the lowest system-level BOM count and fastest time-to-market for fixed-voltage USB-C host ports, trading programmability for deterministic hardware control and guaranteed USB-IF certification out-of-box.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the TPS25741ARSMT in a USB-C system?
The TPS25741ARSMT serves as a USB-C Downstream Facing Port (DFP) controller that implements USB Power Delivery 2.0 source functionality. It handles CC line detection, PD message negotiation, VBUS voltage selection (5 V/12 V/20 V), gate driver control for external power switches, and built-in safety protections - enabling a complete, firmware-free USB-C host port. Its role is strictly hardware-defined and does not require embedded software execution.
Does the TPS25741ARSMT support USB-C audio accessory detection?
Yes, the TPS25741ARSMT supports audio accessory detection via its dedicated AUDIO pin (pin 28), which outputs low when an audio accessory is present on the USB-C port. This signal is generated internally based on CC line voltage thresholds and does not require external logic. The device also provides DEBUG (pin 15) for debug accessory detection, both operating independently of host processor involvement.
How does the TPS25741ARSMT manage VBUS discharge during disconnect events?
The TPS25741ARSMT manages VBUS discharge using its open-drain DSCG pin (pin 31), which sinks current through an external resistor to rapidly discharge the VBUS line per USB PD specification requirements. When a sink disconnects, the device asserts DSCG low, enabling discharge until VBUS falls below the UVP threshold. The required RDSCG value depends on maximum VBUS voltage (e.g., 80 Ω for 25 V systems) and is specified in TI's SLVSDJ5D datasheet.
Can the TPS25741ARSMT be used in both power mux and DC-DC power delivery architectures?
Yes, the TPS25741ARSMT supports both architectures. In power mux mode, GDPG, GDNG, GDNS, and G5V drive external MOSFETs to select between multiple input sources. In DC-DC mode, only GDNG is used to enable the primary power path, while CTL1 and CTL2 digitally control an external buck regulator to generate non-5-V PD voltages. The architecture is selected at design time via schematic configuration - no runtime reconfiguration is possible.
What is the purpose of the EN12V pin on the TPS25741ARSMT?
The EN12V pin (pin 10) is a digital input that enables or disables advertisement of the 12 V PDO in the TPS25741ARSMT's USB Power Delivery contract. When pulled high, the device advertises 12 V as an available voltage; when pulled low, 12 V is omitted from the PDO list. This pin allows hardware-level customization of the PD profile without modifying firmware or strapping other pins - critical for product variants targeting different regional adapter standards.
