PI5USB2546A

DCP-1.2V Charging Scheme

DCP-1.2V charging scheme is used by some handheld devices to enable fast charging at 2.0A. PI5USB2546A series supports

this scheme in the DCP-Auto mode before the device enters BC1.2 shorted mode. To simulate this charging scheme D+/D-

lines are shorted and pulled-up to 1.2V for fixed duration then device moves to DCP shorted mode as defined in BC1.2 spec.

This is shown as Figure 3.

DCP Auto Mode

As mentioned above the PI5USB2546A integrates an auto-detect state machine that supports all the above DCP charging

schemes. It starts in Divider-1A scheme, however if a BC1.2 or YD/T 1591-2009 compliant device is attached, the

PI5USB2546A responds by discharging OUT, turning back on the power switch and operating in 1.2Vmode briefly and then

moving to BC1.2 DCP mode. It then stays in that mode until the device releases the data line, in which case it goes back to

Divider-1A scheme. When a Divider-1A compliant device is attached the PI5USB2546A series will stay in Divider-1A state.

Also, the PI5USB2546A series will automatically switch between the Divider-1A and Divider-2A (or Divider-2.4A) schemes

based on charging current drawn by the connected device. Initially the device will set the data lines to Divider-1A scheme. If

charging current of the device >900mA is measured by the PI5USB2546A series, it switches to Divider-2A scheme and test to

see if the peripheral device will still charge at a high current. If charging current of the device >1.8A is measured by

PI5USB2546A, it will switches to Divider-2.4A charging mode. If it does then it stays in Divider-2A or Divider-2.4A charging

scheme otherwise it will revert to Divider-1A scheme.
