USB Type-C controller with a wide supply window
The Texas Instruments TPS25740RGET is a USB Type-C controller that manages port negotiation and power delivery for USB-C receptacles. It operates from a 4.65V to 25V supply rail, which covers both standard 5V USB bus power and higher-voltage adapter inputs up to 20V PD.
NRND — plan a replacement path
It is not yet obsolete — existing production orders can still be fulfilled — but TI advises against qualifying it for a new BOM line. The base product number is TPS25740, and a successor or pin-compatible drop-in replacement is not listed in the current record. For a new design, review TI's current USB Type-C and PD controller portfolio for an active-recommended alternative. For an existing BOM that already uses this code, the NRND flag means the part is still available through the supply chain for the near term, but a last-time-buy window could open.
24-VQFN (4x4) — rework and thermal considerations
The TPS25740RGET is supplied in a 24-VFQFN Exposed Pad package, specifically the 24-VQFN with a 4x4 mm body. For the rework bench: the 4x4 mm QFN with a centre pad is manageable with hot air if the board has adequate thermal relief on the ground plane.
