Detailed Description

The USBPD driver provides APIs to configure and access the M0S8-USBPD and MX-USBPD IP block on the EZ-PD PMG1 family of devices into a high-quality, versatile analog front-end for PD applications.

The PMG1 family is a set of USB Power-Delivery (USBPD) enabled Micro-Controllers for the general market. The devices in this family support one or two instances of the Power Delivery Sub-System (PDSS) in addition to other standard MCU peripherals available on PSoC4 devices.

USBPD Driver Solution

The USBPD driver interacts directly with the hardware and provides support of the features available in the hardware. It implements the API interface and callbacks/hooks requested by the PDStack middleware to operate.

The functions of the USBPD driver include

  1. Configure the terminations on the CC pins of the PMG1 device, including support for automatic Rp-Rd toggle on parts that support Dual Role Port (DRP) functionality.
  2. Determine the external terminations applied on the CC pins using the line comparators.
  3. Measure Type-C VBus voltage using the 8-bit ADC.
  4. Configure the USB-PD Transceiver (PHY) and send/receive messages, including support for Extended Data Messages.
  5. Configure the gate driver outputs of the PMG1 device to enable power output or charging paths.
  6. Configure the comparators and cut-off circuits to provide Over-Voltage (OV), Under-Voltage (UV), Over-Current (OC), Short-Circuit (SC) and Reverse-Current (RC) Protection.
  7. Configure the in-built USB 2.0 and Side Band Use (SBU) Multiplexers for USB, Display and Thunderbolt data connections.
  8. Drive/detect transitions on the HotPlug Detect (HPD) pin as required by the Display function.
  9. Configure the terminations and measure the voltages on the D+/D- pins for BC 1.2. Most of the USBPD driver functions are not intended to be called directly from the user application as the PDStack middleware makes use of them to manage the functionality in a specification compliant manner.

Configuration Considerations

Use ModusToolbox Device Configurator Tool to generate initialization code

The following are the steps to generate initialization code using the ModusToolbox Device Configurator Tool:

  1. Launch the ModusToolbox Device Configurator Tool
  2. Switch to the Peripherals tab. Enable the USB-C Power Delivery personality under Communication
  3. Go to the Parameters Pane for the USBPD Personality and configure it with the desired parameters (Configure the clock inputs, set the fault protection parameters per configuration considerations, etc)

  4. Perform File->Save for the initialization code to generate

Now, all required USBPD driver initialization code and configuration prerequisites will be generated:

  1. The Peripheral Clock Divider assignment and analog routing are parts of the init_cycfg_all() routine. Place the call of cybsp_init () function before using any USBPD driver API functions to ensure initialization of all external resources required for the USBPD driver operation.
  2. The USBPD driver configuration structure declaration is in the cycfg_peripherals.h file and its initialization is in the cycfg_peripherals.c file. The variable name is mtb_usbpd_port<port_num>_config. It must be used with Cy_USBPD_Init() function.
    cy_stc_fault_vbus_ovp_cfg_t mtb_usbpd_port0_ovp_config =
    {
    .enable = true,
    .mode = 2,
    .threshold = 20,
    .debounce = 10,
    .retryCount = 2,
    };
    cy_stc_fault_vbus_uvp_cfg_t mtb_usbpd_port0_uvp_config =
    {
    .enable = true,
    .mode = 2,
    .threshold = 20,
    .debounce = 10,
    .retryCount = 2,
    };
    cy_stc_usbpd_config_t mtb_usbpd_port0_config =
    {
    .vbusOvpConfig = &mtb_usbpd_port0_ovp_config,
    .vbusUvpConfig = &mtb_usbpd_port0_uvp_config,
    .vbusOcpConfig = NULL,
    .vbusScpConfig = NULL,
    .vbusRcpConfig = NULL,
    .vconnOcpConfig = NULL,
    .ccOvpConfig = NULL,
    .sbuOvpConfig = NULL,
    .legacyChargingConfig = NULL,
    };
    /* Initialize the USBPD driver */
    (void)Cy_USBPD_Init(&usbpdCtxt, 0, base, trimsBase, &mtb_usbpd_port0_config, cy_pd_dpm_get_config);
