Zusammenfassung: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.
