For the NCP398MUTBG it states that It protects VCONN against overvoltages in applications where VCONN is
directly derived from the VBUS supply. In my application I am not using VCONN. I am using VBUS of a USB 3.0 TYPE C as the power supply for my design. Is it safe to understand that this chip will sufficiently protect my design ?
However I just looked up VCONN details and I saw that "VCONN is a 5 V 1 W power supply used to power the IC ...." thus the it appears that there is a limit of 1A ? In fact I looked at the data sheet for the NCP398MUTBG and it states Maximum DC current : 0.8 A. So I guess this chip is not appropriate for our design since we need the full power of TYPE C upto 3A ?!
Does anyone else know of any other chips available that can do this ? I have currently a TI TPD1S514-1 designed but the pitch is too small !
Thanks for all you help in advanced
