1.1 Description
The MP2731 USB power delivery (PD) reference design provides a complete solution for USB PD applications that comply with USB PD3.0 specifications. The major components of this reference design include the MP2731 — a 4.5A, narrow voltage DC (NVDC) single-cell Li-ion battery charger — and a CCG3PA (USB PD controller).
The reference design offers a bidirectional DRP Type-C port. When a USB input is present, the port functions as an upstream-facing port (UFP) to charge the battery. When a USB PD sink is connected to the Type-C port, the reference design functions as a downstream-facing port (DFP), and can provide a 5V USB On-the-Go (OTG) for the sink device. This reference design provides NVDC architecture with power path management functionality, which makes the solution well-suited for smartphones, tablets, and various portable charging applications.

Reference Design
2.1 Block Diagram
The MP2731 USB PD reference design offers a cost-effective solution to achieve up to 18W PD fast charging by pairing a highly integrated MP2731 charger with a universal PD controller (CCG3A). A universally available Type-C connector on the board serves as a bidirectional input. The back-to-back input FET configuration is optional because the MP2731 also provides an internal input-blocking FET, which helps to further reduce PCB size and BOM cost (see Figure 2).
