GL9510

2-Port PD2.0/3.0 Controller
Genesys GL9510 is an advanced 2-Port PD controller that supports DisplayPort Alternate mode and charge-through function. It is compliant to USB Power Delivery Specification Rev3.0 /2.0 and Type-C Port Controller Specification. The GL9510 integrates Type-C Channel Configuration (CC) function and BMC PHY to support PD messaging for power negotiation, power/data/Vconn swapping and Alternate mode function. The Type-C Port Manager (TCPM) for policy of 2 PD ports is achieved by an 8-bit MCU and its application code is stored in external Flash.

GL9510 can easily support OVP/OCP/OTP since it has an integrated 6-channel 10-bit ADC. There are threshold comparators for each ADC channel. Therefore, the protecting activity can be made very quickly once any over-V/under-V/over-I/over-T occurs.

Both PD ports can be source, sink and DRP, which depends on the targeted application. The application code can be upgraded by USB (for GL9510-D2) or I2C (for GL9510-S2).

There are 10 GPIO pins in GL9510 for power path control, VBUS discharge, I2C interface, HPD, and SuperSpeed Mux control. GL9510 also integrates the SBU/AUX switch and an USB FS PHY (Billboard device) to support DisplayPort Alternate Mode on Type-C.
