Texas Instruments TPS25752A Evaluation Module

The Texas Instruments TPS25752A Evaluation Module (EVM) is a development platform for single-port USB Type-C® and USB Power Delivery applications operating in source-only mode. It supports source power profiles up to 100W at 20V/5A and enables configuration and debugging of systems based on the TPS25752A USB-PD controller.

A web-based GUI with pre-configured firmware allows developers to define application requirements, voltage ranges, charging protocols, and controller settings. The interface uses block diagrams and drop-down selections to generate a configuration image for the target application. This approach provides a structured way to configure USB-PD behavior without manually defining each controller parameter. The evaluation module also includes multiple test points and headers to monitor and debug VBUS, CCx, ADCINx, and related signals. It can be used to develop power profiles or troubleshoot existing USB-PD implementations for battery packs, power banks, portable electronics, retail systems, wireless speakers, cordless appliances, and healthcare equipment.

Features of TPS25752A Evaluation Module

The TPS25752A EVM provides configurable USB Type-C and Power Delivery source development. Its GUI, firmware, test points, and headers support power-profile creation, controller configuration, signal monitoring, and system debugging. Let’s go through its features in detail:

100W USB-PD Source Operation

The evaluation module supports single-port USB Type-C and Power Delivery applications operating in source-only mode. It can evaluate source configurations delivering up to 100W at 20V and 5A. Developers can use the platform to create and test different power profiles according to the voltage and charging requirements of the connected application.

GUI-Based Controller Configuration

The web-based GUI provides access to configuration options for the onboard TPS25752A USB-PD controller. The interface presents application requirements through block diagrams and drop-down selections, allowing developers to define voltage ranges, charging protocols, and controller behavior. These selections then create a configuration image for the intended USB-PD application.

Pre-Configured Firmware Environment

The EVM includes pre-configured firmware that operates with the GUI to simplify development of TPS25752A-based systems. Developers can adjust application parameters without manually configuring every USB-PD controller setting. The resulting configuration image provides a defined implementation that can be evaluated on the module before applying the selected settings to an application-specific design.

Signal Monitoring and Debug Access

Multiple onboard test points and headers expose signals required during USB Type-C and USB-PD development. Developers can access VBUS, CCx, ADCINx, and related lines for measurement and debugging. These connections support electrical characterization, configuration verification, and troubleshooting when developing new power profiles or investigating behavior in existing TPS25752A-based systems. 

USB-PD System Development

The TPS25752A EVM supports both developing new USB-PD source implementations and debugging existing designs. Configurable power profiles, firmware-based controller settings, and accessible signal connections provide resources for evaluating source behavior across portable, battery-powered, retail, consumer, and healthcare equipment requiring USB Type-C power delivery.

Applications

The Texas Instruments TPS25752A Evaluation Module supports USB Type-C and USB-PD source development for battery packs used with cordless power tools and for portable power banks delivering configurable charging profiles. It can also develop power interfaces for retail automation and payment equipment, wireless speakers, and cordless vacuum cleaners. Personal and portable electronics can use the platform to evaluate USB Type-C source behavior and power-profile requirements. In medical and healthcare equipment development, the EVM provides access to controller configuration, power-delivery settings, and electrical signals for evaluating USB-PD power-source implementations before integration into application-specific hardware.
