INTRODUCTION
This reference design is a power management solution with MCU, PD PHY HUSB311 and a buck-boost charger
PL5500, which features PD 100W fast charging and discharging function through a single USB Type-C port.
The PD PHY HUSB311 with the MCU build a Type-C port manager, also called TCPM. Due to the TCPM, this EVB can
automatically switch its role as host, device or DRP according to the type of the electronic product that the USB
Type-C accesses. According to the number of battery strings and battery capacity used by the user, this evaluation
board can achieve up to 100W PD fast charging and discharging function, which is very suitable for power bank or
power tool applications.
Furthermore, both the HUSB311 and the PL5500 integrate I2C interfaces as slave devices. The monitoring and
advanced configurations can be achieved through the microprocessor communicating via the I2C interface, such as
monitoring of the source capacity of PD power source, the negotiated PDO through the HUSB311. With I2C interface
of the PL5500, the PL5500 can be flexibly programmed the charging parameters, such as input current limit, input
voltage limit, charging current, battery full regulation voltage and so on. It can also provide the status and faults in
operation through registers.
DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS
The reference design shows how a USB Type-C PD DRP controller combined with a battery charge management
system can efficiently charge 1-6 cell batteries or discharge the laptop or mobile phone with a large-capacity
battery pack . This design can be used for power tools, IoT devices, power banks and portable electronics. The
biggest advantage of this reference design is that, with USB PD negotiation, it can achieve PD 100W fast charging
and discharging function through a single USB Type-C port.

PL5500 – Buck-boost Battery Charger

The PL5500 is a synchronous 4-switch bidirectional Buck-Boost controller capable of regulating the output voltage
at, above, or below the input voltage. PL5500 operates over a wide input voltage range of 3.0 V to 32 V (36 V
maximum) to support a variety of applications. PL5500 can operate at charger mode for 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 cells
battery charge. PL5500 employs Constant ON time control in buck, boost and buck-boost operation modes for
superior load and line regulation. The switching frequency could be set to 150kHz, 300kHz, 600kHz or 1200kHz
based on different resistor value between FREQ pin and GND pin. The device also features a programmable soft-
start function and offers all kinds of protection features including cycle-by-cycle current limiting, input under
voltage lockout (UVLO), output over voltage protection (OVP), input Over Voltage Protection, thermal shutdown
and output short protection etc. VADJ, IADJ pins are used to program output VBUS voltage and output current limit
at battery discharging mode when OTG is high, which makes PL5500 an excellent option for USB Power Deliver (PD)
application. PL5500 provides voltage control loop, constant current loop, thermal regulation loop, battery
temperature sensing, which makes it a perfect solution for batter charge management.

probe coil on the DC electronic load positive cable.

8. Connect the oscilloscope probes to the test points of the VBUS, CC1/2, VBATT respectively. Place the current
probe coil on the DC electronic load positive cable.
9. Apply 220V AC power source on the power adapter.
10. Perform the test.

TEST RESULTS
After the circuit is connected and before the power on, the users should make sure that the MCU module has been
programmed with the correct TCPM program. This program includes the PD communication protocol, input and
output voltage detection, overvoltage and undervoltage protection mechanisms, input and output current limiting
protection mechanisms, and VBUS discharge functions, etc.
When EVB is used as a sink, the mechanism of EVB requesting PDO is to request the highest PDO from the source
capability. When we use 96W and 55W PD adapters for power input, HUSB311 requests the highest grade 20V and
15V of the PD adapter to power the system respectively. Figures 7 and 8 show the test results.
When EVB is used as a source, it supports 5V, 9V, 15V and 20V FPDOS, and the total output power up to 100W. We
can use Power-Z to switch PDOs, we can see that the voltage switch is very smooth, and the discharge circuit is set
at 2A, which is very stable. Figures 9 and 10 show the test results.
In addition, this EVB has a very high conversion efficiency, up to 98%, and very low ripple. This reference design is
very suitable for the use of power banks or power tools.
