The following overview references various industry standards. TI recommends consulting the most up-to-date
standard to ensure the most recent and accurate information. Rechargeable portable equipment requires an
external power source to charge its batteries. USB ports are a convenient location for charging, because of an
available 5-V power source. Universally accepted standards are required to make sure host and client-side
devices operate together in a system to ensure power management requirements are met. Traditionally, host
ports following the USB 2.0 specification must provide at least 500 mA to downstream client-side devices.
Because multiple USB devices can attach to a single USB port through a bus-powered hub, it is the responsibility
of the client-side device to negotiate its power allotment from the host, ensuring the total current draw does not
exceed 500 mA. In general, each USB device is granted 100 mA, and may request more current in 100-mA unit
steps up to 500 mA. The host may grant or deny based on the available current. A USB 3.0 host port not only
provides higher data rate than USB 2.0 port, but also raises the unit load from 100 mA to 150 mA. It is also
required to provide a minimum current of 900 mA to downstream client-side devices.
Additionally, the success of USB makes the mini-USB connector a popular choice for wall adapter cables. This
allows a portable device to charge from both a wall adapter, and USB port with only one connector. As USB
charging has gained popularity, the 500-mA minimum defined by USB 2.0 or 900 mA for USB 3.0 has become
insufficient for many handset and personal media players, which need a higher charging rate. Wall adapters can
provide much more current than 500 mA/900 mA. Several new standards have been introduced, defining
protocol handshaking methods that allow host and client devices to acknowledge and draw additional current
beyond the 500 mA/900 mA minimum defined by USB 2.0 and 3.0, while still using a single micro-USB input
connector.
The TPS2546 supports four of the most common USB charging schemes found in popular handheld media and
cellular devices:
•USB Battery Charging Specification BC1.2
•Chinese Telecommunications Industry Standard YD/T 1591-2009
•Divider Mode
•1.2-V Mode
YD/T 1591-2009 is a subset of BC1.2 specifications supported by vast majority of devices that implement USB
changing. Divider and 1.2-V charging schemes are supported in devices from specific, yet popular device
makers.
BC1.2 lists three different port types:
•Standard Downstream Port (SDP)
•Charging Downstream Port (CDP)
•Dedicated Charging Port (DCP)
BC1.2 defines a charging port as a downstream facing USB port that provides power for charging portable
equipment. Under this definition, CDP and DCP are defined as charging ports.
8.3.1 Standard Downstream Port (SDP) USB 2.0/USB 3.0
An SDP is a traditional USB port that follows USB 2.0 and 3.0 protocol, and supplies a minimum of 500 mA for
USB 2.0 and 900 mA for USB 3.0 per port. USB 2.0 and 3.0 communications is supported, and the host
controller must be active to allow charging. TPS2546 supports SDP mode in system power state S0, when
system is completely powered ON, and fully operational. For more details on control pin (CTL1-CTL3) settings to
program this state, see Table 3.
8.3.2 Charging Downstream Port (CDP)
A CDP is a USB port that follows USB BC1.2 and supplies a minimum of 1.5 A per port. It provides power and
meets USB 2.0 requirements for device enumeration. USB 2.0 communications is supported, and the host
controller must be active to allow charging. What separates a CDP from an SDP is the host-charge handshaking
logic that identifies this port as a CDP. A CDP is identifiable by a compliant BC1.2 client device, and allows for
additional current draw by the client device.
The CDP process is done in two steps. During step one, the portable equipment outputs a nominal 0.6-V output
on the D+ line, and reads the voltage input on the D– line. The portable device detects it is connected to an SDP
if the voltage is less than the nominal data detect voltage of 0.3 V. The portable device detects that it is
connected to a Charging Port if the D– voltage is greater than the nominal data detect voltage of 0.3 V, and
optionally less than 0.8 V.
The second step is necessary for portable equipment to determine if it is connected to CDP or DCP. The
portable device outputs a nominal 0.6 V output on its D– line, and reads the voltage input on its D+ line. The
portable device detects it is connected to a CDP if the data line being read remains less than the nominal data
detect voltage of 0.3 V. The portable device detects it is connected to a DCP if the data line being read is greater
than the nominal data detect voltage of 0.3 V.
TPS2546 supports CDP mode in system power state S0 when system is completely powered ON, and fully
operational. For more details on control pin (CTL1-CTL3) settings to program this state, see Table 3.
8.3.3 Dedicated Charging Port (DCP)
A DCP only provides power but does not support data connection to an upstream port. As shown in following
sections, a DCP is identified by the electrical characteristics of the data lines. The TPS2546 emulates DCP in
two charging states, namely DCP Forced and DCP Auto as shown in Figure 32. In DCP Forced state the device
supports one of the two DCP charging schemes, namely Divider1 or Shorted. In the DCP Auto state, the device
charge detection state machine is activated to selectively implement charging schemes involved with the
Shorted, Divider1, Divider2, and 1.2-V modes. Shorted DCP mode complies with BC1.2 and Chinese
Telecommunications Industry Standard YD/T 1591-2009, while the Divider and 1.2-V modes are employed to
charge devices that do not comply with BC1.2 DCP standard.
8.3.3.1 DCP BC1.2 and YD/T 1591-2009
Both standards define that the D+ and D– data lines must be shorted together with a maximum series impedance
of 200 Ω. This is shown in Figure 28.
Figure 28. DCP Supporting BC1.2/YD/T 1591-2009
8.3.3.2 DCP Divider Charging Scheme
There are two Divider charging scheme supported by the device, Divider1 and Divider2 as shown in Figure 29
and Figure 30. In Divider1 charging scheme the device applies 2 V and 2.7 V to D+ and D– data line
respectively. This is reversed in Divider2 mode.
1.2-V charging scheme is used by some handheld devices to enable fast charging at 2 A. TPS2546 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 1.2 V for fixed duration then device moves to DCP shorted mode as
defined in BC1.2 specification. This is shown in Figure 31
8.3.4 Wake on USB Feature (Mouse/Keyboard Wake Feature)
8.3.4.1 USB 2.0 Background Information
The TPS2546 data lines interface with USB 2.0 devices. USB 2.0 defines three types of devices according to
data rate. These devices and their characteristics relevant to TPS2546 Wake on USB operation are shown
below.

•1.5 Mbps
•Wired mice and keyboards are examples

•Legacy phones and music players are examples
•Some legacy devices that need battery charging
•All signaling performed at 2 V and 0.8 V hi/lo logic levels
•D+ high to signal connect and when placed into suspend
•D+ high when not transmitting data packets
High-speed USB devices:
•480 Mbps
•Tablets, phones and music players are examples
•Many devices that need battery charging
•Connect and suspend signaling performed at 2 V and 0.8 V hi/lo logic levels
•Data packet signaling performed a logic levels below 0.8 V
•D+ high to signal connect and when placed into suspend (same as a full-speed device)
•D+ and D– low when not transmitting data packets
8.3.4.2 Wake On USB
Wake on USB is the ability of a wake configured USB device to wake a computer system from its S3 sleep state
back to its S0 working state. Wake on USB requires the data lines to be connected to the system USB host
before the system is placed into its S3 sleep state, and remain continuously connected until they are used to
wake the system.
The TPS2546 supports low-speed and high-speed HID (human interface device like mouse/key board) wake
function. There are two scenarios under which wake on mouse are supported by the TPS2546. The specific CTL
pin changes that the TPS2546 overrides are shown below. The information is presented as CTL1, CTL2, CTL3.
The ILIM_SEL pin plays no role
1. 111 (CDP/SDP2) to 011 (DCP-Auto)
2. 010 (SDP1) to 011 (DCP-Auto)
NOTE
The 110 (SDP1) to 011 (DCP-Auto) transition is not supported. This is done for practical
reasons, because the transition involves changes to two CTL pins. Depending on which
CTL pin changes first, the device sees either a temporary 111 or 010 command. The 010
command is safe but the 111 command causes an OUT discharge as the TPS2546
instead proceeds to the 111 state.
8.3.4.3 USB Slow-Speed and Full-Speed Device Recognition
TPS2546 is capable of detecting LS or FS device attachment when TPS2546 is in SDP or CDP mode. Per USB
specification, when no device is attached, the D+ and D– lines are near ground level. When a low-speed
compliant device is attached to the TPS2546 charging port, D– line is pulled high in its idle state
(mouse/keyboard not activated). However, when a FS device is attached then the opposite is true in its idle state,
that is, D+ is pulled high and D– remains at ground level.
TPS2546 monitors both D+ and D– lines while CTL pin settings are in CDP or SDP mode to detect LS or FS HID
device attachment. To support HID sleep wake, TPS2546 must first determine that it is attached to a LS or FS
device when system is in S0 power state. TPS2546 does this as described above. While supporting a LS HID
wake is straight forward, supporting FS HID requires making a distinction between a FS and a HS device. This is
because a high-speed device always presents itself initially as a full speed device (by a 1.5-K pullup resistor on
D+). The negotiation for high speed then makes the distinction whereby the 1.5-K pullup resistor gets removed.
TPS2546 handles the distinction between a FS and HS device at connect by memorizing if the D+ line goes low
after connect. A HS device after connect always undergoes negotiation for HS, which requires the 1.5-kΩ resistor
pullup on D+ to be removed. To memorize a FS device, TPS2546 requires the device to remain connected for at
least 60 seconds while the system is in S0 mode, before placing it in sleep or S3 mode.
NOTE
If system is placed in sleep mode earlier than the 60 second window, a FS device may not
get recognized and hence could fail to wake system from S3. This requirement does not
apply for LS device.
8.3.4.3.1 No CTL Pin Timing Requirement After Wake Event and Transition from S3 to S0
Unlike the TPS2543, there is no CTL pin timing requirement for the TPS2546 when the wake configured USB
device wakes the system from S3 back to S0. The TPS2543 requires the CTL pins to transition from the DCPAuto setting back to the SDP/CDP setting within 64 ms of the attached USB device signaling a wake event (for
example, mouse clicked or keyboard key pressed). No such timing condition exists for the TPS2546.
8.3.5 Load Detect
TPS2546 offers system designers unique power management strategy not available in the industry from similar
devices. There are two power management schemes supported by the TPS2546 through the STATUS pin, they
are:
•Power Wake (PW)
•Port Power Management (PPM)
Either feature may be implemented in a system depending on power savings goals for the system. In general,
Power Wake feature is used mainly in mobile systems, like a notebook, where it is imperative to save battery
power when system is in deep sleep (S4/S5) state. Oppositely, Port Power Management feature would be
implemented where multiple charging ports are supported in the same system, and system power rating is not
capable of supporting high-current charging on multiple ports simultaneously.
8.3.6 Power Wake
The goal of the power wake feature is to save system power when the system is in S4/S5 state. In the S4/S5
state, the system is in deep sleep and typically running off the battery; so every mW in system power savings
translates to extending battery life. In this state, the TPS2546 monitors charging current at the OUT pin and
provide a mechanism through the STATUS pin to switch out the high-power DC-DC controller and switch in a low
power LDO when charging current requirement is < 45 mA (typical). This would be the case when no peripheral
device is connected at the charging port or if a device has attained its full battery charge and draws <45 mA. A
power wake flow chart and description is shown in Figure 34.

8.3.6.1 Implementing Power Wake in Notebook System
An implementation of power wake in notebook platforms with the TPS2546 is shown in Figure 35 to Figure 37.
Power wake function is used to select between a high-power DC-DC converter, and low-power LDO (100 mA)
based on charging requirements. System power saving is achieved when under no charging conditions (the
connected device is fully charged or no device is connected) the DC-DC converter is turned off (to save power
because it is less efficient in low-power operating region) and the low-power LDO supplies standby power to the
charging port.
Power wake is activated in S4/S5 mode (0011 setting, see Table 3), TPS2546 is charging connected device as
shown in Figure 35, STATUS is pulled LO (Case 1) which switches-out the LDO and switches-in the DC-DC
converter to handle high-current charging.
Figure 33. Case 1: System in S4/S5, Device Charging
As shown in Figure 34 and Figure 35, when connected device is fully charged or gets disconnected from the
charging port, the charging current falls. If charging current falls to < 45 mA and stays below this threshold for
over 15 s, TPS2546 automatically sets a 55-mA internal current limit and STATUS is de-asserted (pulled HI). As
shown in Figure 34 and Figure 35. This results in DC-DC converter turning off, and the LDO turning on. Current
limit of 55 mA is set to prevent the low-power LDO output voltage from collapsing in case there is a spike in
current draw due to device attachment or other activity such as display panel LED turning ON in connected
device.
Following Power Wake flow chart (Figure 34) when a device is attached and draws > 55 mA of charging current
the TPS2546 hits its internal current limit. This triggers the device to assert STATUS (LO), and turn on the DCDC converter and turn off the LDO. TPS2546 discharges OUT for > 2 s (typical), allowing the main power supply
to turn on. After the discharge, the device turns back on with current limit set by ILIM_HI (Case 1)

8.3.7 Port Power Management (PPM)
PPM is the intelligent and dynamic allocation of power for systems that have multiple charging ports but cannot
power them all simultaneously. The goals of this feature are:
•Enhance user experience because user does not have to search for charging port
•Ensure the power supply only has to be designed for a reasonable charging load
Initially all ports are allowed to broadcast high-current charging, charging current limit is based on ILIM_HI
resistor setting. System monitors STATUS to see when high-current loads are present. Once allowed number of
ports assert STATUS, remaining ports are toggled to a non-charging port. Non-charging ports are SDP ports with
current limit based on ILIM_LO. TPS2546 allows for a system to toggle between charging and non-charging ports
either with an OUT discharge or without an OUT discharge.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.7.1 Benefits of PPM
•Delivers better user experience
•Prevents overloading of system's power supply
•Allows for dynamic power limits based on system state
•Allows every port to potentially be a high-power charging port
•Allows for smaller power supply capacity because the loading is controlled
8.3.7.2 PPM Details
All ports are allowed to broadcast high-current charging – CDP or DCP. Current limit is based on ILIM_HI and
system monitors STATUS pin to see when high-current loads are present. Once allowed number of ports assert
STATUS, remaining ports are toggled to a SDP non-charging port. SDP current limit is based on ILIM_LO
setting. SDP ports are automatically toggled back to CDP or DCP mode when a charging port de-asserts
STATUS.
Based on CTL settings there is a provision for a port to toggle between charging and non-charging ports either
with a Vbus discharge or without a Vbus discharge. For example when a port is in SDP2 mode (1110) and its
ILIM_SEL pin is toggled to 1 due to another port releasing its high-current requirements. The SDP2 port
automatically reverts to CDP mode (1111) without a discharge event. This is desirable if this port was connected
to a media device where it was syncing data from the SDP2 port; a discharge event would disrupt the syncing
activity on the port and cause user confusion.
STATUS trip point is based on the programmable ILIM_LO current limit set point. This does not mean STATUS
is a current limit – the port itself is using the ILIM_HI current limit. Since ILIM_LO defines the current limit for a
SDP port, it works well to use the ILIM_LO value to define a high-current load. STATUS asserts in CDP and
DCP when load current is above ILIM_LO+60 mA for 200 ms. STATUS also asserts in CDP when an attached
device does a BC1.2 primary detection. STATUS de-asserts in CDP and DCP when the load current is below
ILIM_LO+10 mA for 3 s.
8.3.7.3 Implementing PPM in a System with Two Charging Ports
Figure 38 shows implementation of two charging ports, each with its own TPS2546. In this example 5-V power
supply for the two charging ports is rated at < 3 A or < 15 W maximum. Both devices have R
chosen to
LIM
correspond to the low (0.9 A) and high (1.5 A) current limit setting for the port. In this implementation the system
can support only one of the two ports at 1.5-A charging current while the other port is set to SDP mode and I
Figure 36. Implementing Port Power Management in a System Supporting Two Charging Ports
8.3.8 Overcurrent Protection
When an overcurrent condition is detected, the device maintains a constant output current and reduces the
output voltage accordingly. Two possible overload conditions can occur. In the first condition, the output has
been shorted before the device is enabled or before VIN has been applied. The TPS2546 senses the short and
immediately switches into a constant-current output. In the second condition, a short or an overload occurs while
the device is enabled. At the instant the overload occurs, high currents may flow for nominally one to two
microseconds before the current-limit circuit can react. The device operates in constant-current mode after the
current-limit circuit has responded. Complete shutdown occurs only if the fault is present long enough to activate
thermal limiting. The device remains off until the junction temperature cools approximately 20°C and then restarts. The device continues to cycle on/off until the overcurrent condition is removed.
8.3.9 FAULT Response
The FAULT open-drain output is asserted (active low) during an overtemperature or current limit condition. The
output remains asserted until the fault condition is removed. The TPS2546 is designed to eliminate false FAULT
reporting by using an internal de-glitch circuit for current limit conditions without the need for external circuitry.
This ensures that FAULT is not accidentally asserted due to normal operation such as starting into a heavy
capacitive load. overtemperature conditions are not de-glitched and assert the FAULT signal immediately.
8.3.10 Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) circuit disables the power switch until the input voltage reaches the UVLO
turnon threshold. Built-in hysteresis prevents unwanted oscillations on the output due to input voltage drop from
large current surges.
The TPS2546 protects itself with two independent thermal sensing circuits that monitor the operating temperature
of the power distribution switch and disables operation if the temperature exceeds recommended operating
conditions. The device operates in constant-current mode during an overcurrent condition, which increases the
voltage drop across power switch. The power dissipation in the package is proportional to the voltage drop
across the power switch, so the junction temperature rises during an overcurrent condition. The first thermal
sensor turns off the power switch when the die temperature exceeds 135°C and the part is in current limit. The
second thermal sensor turns off the power switch when the die temperature exceeds 155°C regardless of
whether the power switch is in current limit. Hysteresis is built into both thermal sensors, and the switch turns on
after the device has cooled by approximately 20°C. The switch continues to cycle off and on until the fault is
removed. The open-drain false reporting output FAULT is asserted (active low) during an overtemperature
shutdown condition.

8.4.1 DCP Auto Mode
As mentioned above the TPS2546 integrates an auto-detect state machine that supports all the above DCP
charging schemes. It starts in Divider1 scheme, however if a BC1.2 or YD/T 1591-2009 compliant device is
attached, the TPS2546 responds by discharging OUT, turning back on the power switch and operating in 1.2 V
mode 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 Divider1 scheme. When a Divider1 compliant device is attached the TPS2546
stays in Divider1 state.
Also, the TPS2546 automatically switches between the Divider1 and Divider2 schemes based on charging
current drawn by the connected device. Initially the device sets the data lines to Divider1 scheme. If charging
current of > 750 mA is measured by the TPS2546 it switches to Divider2 scheme and test to see if the peripheral
device still charges at a high current. If it does then it stays in Divider2 scheme otherwise it reverts to Divider1
scheme.
In this mode the device is permanently set to one of the DCP schemes (BC1.2/ YD/T 1591-2009 or Divider1) as
commanded by its control pin setting per Table 3.
8.4.3 High-Bandwidth Data Line Switch
The TPS2546 passes the D+ and D– data lines through the device to enable monitoring and handshaking while
supporting charging operation. A wide bandwidth signal switch is used, allowing data to pass through the device
without corrupting signal integrity. The data line switches are turned on in any of CDP or SDP operating modes.
The EN input also needs to be at logic High for the data line switches to be enabled.
NOTE
•While in CDP mode, the data switches are ON even while CDP handshaking is
occurring
•The data line switches are OFF if EN or all CTL pins are held low, or if in DCP mode.
They are not automatically turned off if the power switch (IN to OUT) is in current limit
•The data switches are for USB 2.0 differential pair only. In the case of a USB 3.0 host,
the super speed differential pairs must be routed directly to the USB connector without
passing through the TPS2546
•Data switches are OFF during OUT (VBUS) discharge
Table 2 can be used as an aid to program the TPS2546 per system states however not restricted to below
settings only.

Device TT lists all valid bias combinations for the three control pins CTL1-3 and ILIM_SEL pin and their
corresponding charging mode. It is important to note that the TT purposely omits matching charging modes of the
TPS2546 with global power states (S0-S5) as device is agnostic to system power states. The TPS2546 monitors
CTL inputs and transitions to the charging state it is commanded to go to (except when LS/FS HID device is
detected). For example, if sleep charging is desired when system is in standby or hibernate state then the user
must set TPS2546 CTL pins to correspond to DCP_Auto charging mode as shown in the below table. When the
system resumes operation mode set the control pins to correspond to SDP or CDP mode, as seen in Table 3.

9Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers must
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
9.1 Application Information
Power-on-reset (POR) holds device in initial state while output is held in discharge mode. Any POR event returns
the device to initial state. After POR clears, device goes to the next state depending on the CTL lines as shown
in Figure 38.
9.1.1 Output Discharge
To allow a charging port to renegotiate current with a portable device, the TPS2546 device uses the OUT
discharge function. The device proceeds by turning off the power switch while discharging OUT. The device then
turns on the power switch again to reassert the OUT voltage. This discharge function is automatically applied, as
shown in Figure 33. There are two discharge times, t
DCP_Auto, and t
9.1.2 CDP/SDP Auto Switch
TPS2546 is equipped with a CDP/SDP auto-switch feature to support some popular phones in the market that
are not compliant to the BC1.2 specification, as they fail to establish data connection in CDP mode. These
DCHG_S
phones use primary detection (used to distinguish between an SDP and different types of Charging Ports) to only
identify ports as SDP (data / no charge) or DCP (no data / charge). They do not recognize CDP (data /charge)
ports. When connected to a CDP port, these phones classify the port as a DCP and only charges. Since
charging ports are configured as CDP when the computer is in S0, users do not get the expected data
connection.

Figure 39. CDP/SDP Auto
To fix this problem, TPS2546 employs a CDP/SDP Auto Switch scheme to ensure these BC1.2 non-compliant
phones establishes data connection by following below steps:
•The TPS2546 determines when a non-compliant phone has wrongly classified a CDP port as a DCP port and
has not made a data connection
•The TPS2546 then automatically does a OUT (VBUS) discharge and reconfigure the port as an SDP
•This allows the phone to discover it is now connected to an SDP and establish a data connection
•The TPS2546 then switches automatically back to CDP without doing an OUT (VBUS) discharge
•The phone continues to operate like it is connected to a SDP because OUT (VBUS) was not interrupted
•The port is now ready in CDP if a new device is attached

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Current-Limit Settings
The TPS2546 has two independent current limit settings that are each programmed externally with a resistor.
The ILIM_HI setting is programmed with R
programmed with R
ILIM_LO
connected between ILIM_LO and GND. Consult the Device Truth Table (Table 3) to
connected between ILIM_HI and GND. The ILIM_LO setting is

programming resistor.
R
is optional and the ILIM_LO pin may be left unconnected if the following conditions are met:

2. Load Detection - Port Power Management is not used
Equation 1 programs the typical current limit:

ILIM_XX
corresponds to either R
Figure 41. Typical Current Limit Setting vs Programming Resistor
Many applications require that the current limit meet specific tolerance limits. When designing to these tolerance
limits, both the tolerance of the TPS2546 current limit and the tolerance of the external programming resistor
must be taken into account. The following equations approximate the TPS2546 minimum and maximum current
limits to within a few mA, and are appropriate for design purposes. The equations do not constitute part of Texas
Instrument's published device specifications for purposes of Texas Instrument's product warranty. These
equations assume an ideal - no variation - external programming resistor. To take resistor tolerance into account,
first determine the minimum and maximum resistor values based on its tolerance specifications, and use these
values in the equations. Because of the inverse relation between the current limit and the programming resistor,
use the maximum resistor value in the Equation 2 and the minimum resistor value in the Equation 3.

10Power Supply Recommendations
Figure 45. Low-Current Limit
The TPS2546 device is designed for a supply-voltage range of 4.5 V ≤ VIN ≤ 5.5 V. If the input supply is located
more than a few inches from the device, an input ceramic bypass capacitor higher than 0.1 µF is recommended.
In order to avoid drops in voltage during overcurrent and short-circuit conditions, choose a power supply rated
higher than the TPS2546 current-limit setting.
11Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
For the trace routing of DP_IN, DM_IN, DP_OUT, and DM_OUT: route these traces as micro-strips with nominal
differential impedance of 90 Ω. Minimize the use of vias in the high-speed data lines. Keep the reference GND
plane devoid from cuts or splits above the differential pairs to prevent impedance discontinuities. For more
information, see the High-Speed USB Platform Design Guidelines from Intel.
The trace routing from the upstead regulator to the TPS2546 IN pin must as short as possible to reduce the
voltage drop and parasitic inductance.

Layout Guidelines (continued)
The traces routing from the RILIM_HI and RILIM_LO resistors to the device must be as short as possible to
reduce parasitic effects on the current-limit accuracy.
The thermal pad must be directly connected to the PCB ground plane using wide and short copper trace.
