Candidate for：EE Awards - Power Management IC
Vote
The AP53781 and AP53782 28V USB Type-C® dual-role power delivery (PD) controllers are designed for managing DC power requests and outputs in battery-powered portable devices.

The AP53781 has a preloaded power data object/request data object (PDO/RDO) menu that allows easy selection between source and sink roles using hardware settings. No microcontroller (MCU) is needed to operate or configure this device.

The AP53782 includes an I2C interface, providing greater flexibility for more sophisticated designs. The device communicates with the host MCU to automatically determine a more flexible sink or source role power profile for applications that need more complex power control.
Applications include power banks, power tools, e-bikes, and portable displays, or any applications where customers need to charge and discharge from the same USB Type-C® port.
