Abstract:
Techniques for control of power switches in a USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) system are described herein. In an example embodiment, an integrated circuit comprises a programmable gate control circuit coupled to a provider field effect transistor (FET) and a consumer FET to provide control signals to the provider and consumer FETs in response to system conditions and application requirements of the USB-PD system. A pulldown current control circuit may provide additional control to slew rate for the slow turn-ON of provider and consumer FETs.

Claim (Index 16):
A universal serial bus (USB) power delivery system comprising:\n at least one voltage threshold detection module; a fault detection module; a first gate driver circuit; a second gate driver circuit; and control logic for receiving signals from the at least one voltage threshold detection module and fault detection module and for providing control signals to the first and second gate driver circuits, the control signals for programming the first and second gate driver circuits with predetermined values corresponding to predetermined performance of a first field effect transistor (FET) coupled to the first gate driver circuit and a second FET coupled to the second gate driver circuit.
