Product details
Overview
UCS1001-3-BP from SMSC is a USB port power controller with integrated charger emulation, designed for host-side USB charging management in portable device docking and adapter applications. It delivers up to 2.5 A continuous current with 55 mΩ on-resistance, supports BC1.2 CDP/DCP, Apple®, and YD/T-1591 protocols, and features a dedicated open-drain CHRG# output indicating active charging state.
For engineers reviewing the UCS1001-3-BP datasheet, UCS1001-3-BP pinout, UCS1001-3-BP application, or UCS1001-3-BP equivalent, this device is selected for precise USB power switching, multi-profile charger emulation, thermal-aware current limiting, and system wake-on-attach capability in battery-powered host systems.
Technical Context
The UCS1001-3-BP implements dual-mode current limiting (trip or constant-current), dynamic thermal management that adjusts switch behavior near thermal regulation thresholds, and split-supply support (VS/VDD) enabling ultra-low-power sleep-state operation. Its USB 2.0 high-speed data switch remains active in Pass-through and CDP modes, maintaining full 480 Mbps signal integrity.
Charger emulation is executed via nine preloaded profiles cycled through DPOUT/DMOUT pins under EM_EN control, supporting signature-based (one-way) and handshake-based (two-way) negotiation. The CHRG# output asserts low only when a valid charger profile is accepted and charging is actively enabled - not during detection or enumeration alone.

Applications
| Notebook Docking Stations | AC-DC Wall Adapters |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: A notebook PC connects to a USB-C or USB-A docking station providing both data and charging to attached peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: UCS1001-3-BP acts as the host-side USB power controller, managing VBUS delivery, detecting peripheral attachment, and emulating compliant chargers. Use Value: Enables single-cable docking with guaranteed BC1.2/Apple® charging compatibility and automatic fallback to SDP if no charger signature is accepted. |
Use Scenario: An AC-DC wall adapter powers USB devices directly without a host controller. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: UCS1001-3-BP replaces discrete charge-detection circuitry, providing D+/D− signaling and regulated 5 V switching. Use Value: Delivers 12 W (5 V × 2.4 A) output with built-in OCL, thermal foldback, and ESD protection - eliminating need for external current-sense or protection ICs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB port power control applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| TI TPS65987D | USB-C PD controller with integrated buck-boost; supports 100 W PD 3.0, not BC1.2 legacy emulation | Requires USB-C connector and PD-capable source; lacks native Apple®/YD/T-1591 signature support | Select for USB-C PD ecosystems needing programmable voltage/current; not drop-in for BC1.2-only designs |
| ON Semi NCP380 | Basic 2.5 A USB power switch with OCL only; no charger emulation, no data switch, no CHRG# output | Supports only SDP mode; requires external MCU for BC1.2 negotiation and profile management | Select when only over-current protection is needed and charger emulation is handled externally |
Compared with TPS65987D and NCP380, UCS1001-3-BP uniquely integrates BC1.2/Apple®/YD/T-1591 charger emulation, USB 2.0 data switching, and CHRG# status indication in a single 20-pin QFN - eliminating firmware development and external component overhead for legacy USB charging compliance.

FAQ
What is the function of the CHRG# pin on the UCS1001-3-BP?
The CHRG# pin on the UCS1001-3-BP is an open-drain output that asserts low only when a charger emulation profile has been successfully accepted by the attached portable device and active power delivery is underway. It remains high during attach detection, enumeration, or idle states - making it a precise hardware indicator of live charging activity, distinct from generic alert or detection signals.
Does the UCS1001-3-BP support USB 2.0 high-speed data pass-through?
Yes, the UCS1001-3-BP includes an integrated USB 2.0 high-speed data switch that remains fully operational in Pass-through and BC1.2 CDP modes. It maintains signal integrity up to 480 Mbps, with measured eye diagram compliance per USB-IF specifications, enabling simultaneous data transfer and charging without external transceivers or routing complexity.
How does the UCS1001-3-BP handle over-temperature conditions?
The UCS1001-3-BP implements dynamic thermal management: as die temperature approaches regulation threshold, it automatically transitions from trip-mode current limiting to constant-current mode, reducing power dissipation while sustaining output current. If temperature continues rising, it triggers thermal shutdown and asserts ALERT#. Recovery requires either power cycle or fault-clearing sequence.
Can the UCS1001-3-BP operate with separate VS and VDD supplies?
Yes, the UCS1001-3-BP supports split-supply operation: VS (power switch input) can be turned off while VDD (logic supply) remains active. This enables ultra-low-power "Sleep" state operation (<10 µA typical), allowing the device to detect USB attachment events even when the host system is in deep sleep or powered-off - critical for Wake-on-Attach functionality.
What charger protocols does the UCS1001-3-BP natively support without firmware?
The UCS1001-3-BP natively supports USB-IF BC1.2 CDP and DCP modes, China YD/T-1591 (2009), and major Apple® charging signatures (including 1 A, 2.1 A, and 2.4 A configurations) via nine preloaded hardware-emulated profiles. No external MCU or firmware is required - all negotiation is performed autonomously in analog/digital logic.
