USB Type-C controller with industrial temperature coverage
The Texas Instruments TPS65981ABTRTQT is a USB Type-C controller that handles the negotiation and power delivery roles for USB-C ports. It operates from either a 3.3V or 5V supply rail, which covers the common system power options for a Type-C implementation.
56-VQFN package — layout and thermal notes
The TPS65981ABTRTQT comes in a 56-VFQFN with an exposed pad, supplier device package 56-VQFN (8x8). Surface-mount assembly with the 8x8 mm QFN footprint is standard for reflow; the exposed pad requires a solder paste stencil aperture that covers 50-70% of the pad area to avoid voiding.
