9.3.3.6 Internal HV Power Switch as a Source
The TPS65981 provides power from PP_HV to VBUS at the USB Type-C port as an output when operating as a
source. When the switch is on as a source, the path behaves resistively until the current reaches the amount
calculated by
and then blocks reverse current from VBUS to PP_HV.

9.3.3.7 Internal HV Power Switch as a Sink
The TPS65981 can also receive power from VBUS to PP_HV when operating as a sink. When the switch is on
as a sink the path behaves as an ideal diode and blocks reverse current from PP_HV to VBUS.

9.3.3.8 Internal HV Power Switch Current Sense
The current from PP_HV to VBUS is sensed through the switch and is available to be read digitally through the
ADC only when the switch is sourcing power. When sinking power, the readout from the ADC will not reflect the
current.
9.3.3.9 Internal HV Power Switch Current Limit
The current through PP_HV to VBUS is current limited to ILIMPPHV (only when operating as a source) and is
controlled automatically by the digital core. When the current exceeds ILIMPPHV, the current-limit circuit
activates. Depending on the severity of the over-current condition, the transient response will react in one of two
ways:
