USB C Power Role swap by STUSB1600

[PVala.1]

Hi ,

We are making one android accessory which required to pass through power support from accessory to android smartphone.

Now we also want to communicate with smartphone by keeping our accessory in device mode.

So by using STUSB1600 , Can I do data / power role switch with smartphone.

I would like to charge smartphone and also make accessory as device mode to communicate with smartphone.

Can you please help me out on this ?

Hi,

The Power-role Swap is a specific command of USB Power Delivery.

However, STUSB1600 is only a USB-C controller, it does not implement USB PD.

So if you want to support Power Role Swap commands, you’ll need to select instead a USB-C PD solution that support it:

-       Microcontroller + STUSB1602

-       or STM32G0 + TCPP02
