USB-C, DFP, 5V/3A Out, 85-265VAC In, Adapter, Low Cost Reference Design
https://www.electronics-lab.com/usb-c-dfp-5v-3a-out-85-265vac-in-adapter-low-cost-reference-design/
The PMP11124 reference design uses the UCC28700 and TPS25810 to provide an isolated 5V at 3A over a USB type C interface. The UCC28700 implements primary-side regulation, eliminating the need for an opto-coupler and reducing the size and cost of the design. Cost is further minimized by using an output diode instead of a synchronous […]
