    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an USB PD-type interface including a first node receiving a first potential, a second node delivering a second potential, and a third node at a reference potential; a resistor connected between a fourth node coupled to the first node, and a fifth node; a MOS transistor connected between the fifth node and the second node; a bipolar transistor having a collector connected to a gate of the MOS transistor and an emitter connected to the fourth node or to the fifth node; and a circuit configured to deliver a control potential to a base of the bipolar transistor determined from a current in the first resistor.

    Abstract: A device can be used for managing for managing the supply voltage on an output power supply pin of a USB Type-C source device that includes an AC-to-DC power converter for delivering the supply voltage. The source device is capable of supplying power to a receiver device. A power supply controller includes a first circuit configured to deliver a signal for discharging a capacitive network coupled to the power converter and also includes a second circuit configured to deliver, at the same time as the discharge signal, a new setpoint signal, corresponding to the new voltage delivered, to a control input of the power converter. A delay element is coupled between an output of the second circuit and the control input.

    Abstract: A USB source device, supporting USB Power Delivery mode and coupled to a USB receiver device, includes a power converter delivering a supply voltage and a capacitive network coupled to the power converter. A method for managing the supply voltage on an output power supply pin of the USB source device includes discharging the capacitive network so as to reduce the supply voltage in response to a request to reduce the supply voltage by the USB receiver device to a target voltage. The method also includes delivering, to the power converter, a setpoint voltage for the supply voltage, a value of the setpoint voltage being reduced non-linearly so as to keep a temporal variation of the setpoint voltage lower than that of the supply voltage.
