DEC-008 - TPS25750 Emulates 5V/5A PD Profile to CM5

⚠️ Superseded by DEC-012 - TPS25750 replaced with TPS25751DREFR. See DEC-012.

  • Status: Superseded by DEC-012
  • Date: 2025
  • Category: Electrical
  • Area: CM5 USB-C PD emulator (TPS25750)

Decision

The TPS25750 PD emulator advertises a 5V/5A profile to the CM5 internal USB-C port.

Rationale

  • The CM5 Linux OS will generate a "low power" warning if PD negotiation does not complete at or above 5V/5A (25W).
  • 5V/5A is the minimum advertisement to suppress this warning and allow unrestricted CPU/GPU boost operation.
