Is it possible to take control of VBUS_EN_SNK pin from software using i2c on STUSB4500?

GPIO pin can be used for application specific purpose.

Thanks for the reply @Winfred LU​. The GPIO pin is already being utilized elsewhere in my application.

I want VBUS_EN_SINK pin to act as an on/off switch.

Software control from main mcu using i2c would allow me to override and take control of it... is this possible?

Not possible as far as i understand.

I might have a hack for this...

  1. enable Power Above 5v Only.
  2. explicitly tell STUSB4500 to negotiate PDO1... and ignore PDO2 & PDO3.

@Winfred LU​ Will the above sequence work to disable power? If yes... can this be performed dynamically?
