Diodes is aiming at automotive USB Type-C ports with a four channel protection chip.

“There has been increasing adoption of the USB Type-C interface, particularly by automotive manufacturers keen to provide future-proof ports for smart devices and other peripherals,” said Diodes.
Called DPO2039DABQ, is is intended to be used in line with the CC1, CC2, and D+ and D- or SBU signals of to protect associated interface chip from electrostatic discharge or short-circuit to VBUS – on the Type-C connector, CC and DIFF pins are located physically close to the VBUS pin.

When a short to VBUS is detected, an open-drain pin is pulled low to signal the fault.
The typical over-voltage fault detection response time is 100ns.
Thermal shutdown is pre-configured with a threshold of +150°C and +20°C hysteresis.
To reduce insertion loss, on-resistance is typically 300mΩ and equivalent capacitance is 50pF or less, “meaning it has no negative impact on the bandwidth of the data lines”, according to the company. “The level of ESD protection also removes the need for external transient voltage suppressors.”
50pF is for the CC pins, D pins have 5pF, according to the data sheet.
Qualification is to AEC-Q100 qualified, and the IC is PPAP capable. Applications are foreseen in automotive head units, rear seat entertainment units and in-car chargers, as well as in domestic settings such as set-top-boxes, residential gateways and storage devices.
