NOTE:
For optimization of WT6615F QC4/4+ decoder performance, please adjust component values as below (different from component values used in the Section 3.2 System BOM above):

1. Minimize total resistance from D+/D- path to WT6615F: Change R33 and R34 from 51Ω to 5Ω
2. Improve discharge time of WT6615F: Change R1 from 10kΩ to 1kΩ

Schematics Description

AC Input Circuit & Differential Filter
There are three components in the section. The Fuse F1 protects against over- current conditions which occur when some main components failed. The LF1 is a common mode chock for the common mode noise suppression filleting because of the each coil with large impedance. The BD1 is rectifier, and basically converts alternating current & voltage into direct current & voltage. The C1, L2, C2, C3 & C10 are composted of the Pi filter for filtering the differential switching noise back to AC source.

AP3302A PWM Controller
The AP3302A PWM controller U1 and Opto-Coupler U2 and Q1 are the power converting core components. Connected to filtered output after bridge circuit, R13 & R16 resistor path will provide start-up voltage and current during starting up through Vcc (Pin 5). Subsequent VCC power will be provided by voltage feedback from middle-tapped auxiliary winding through two options, R12-D5 and R8-D2-Q3-D3, depending on desired output voltage. This design is to accommodate with the required wide voltage range to support various protocols (including QC 4/USB PD Programmable Power Supply PPS), from 3V to 12V.
Based on feedback of secondary side (Pin CATH of WT6615 Decoder) to primary side (FB pin of AP3302A) through Opto-coupler U2, AP3302A will switch ON and Off Q1 to regulate desired voltage and current on the secondary side.

APR345 Synchronous Rectification (SR) MOSFET Driver
APR345 operates in DCM mode in this design and drives the Q2 MOSFET based on the secondary side transformer on/off ‘s duty cycle. As the power loss with the APR345-controlled MOSFET Q2 is less than that with Schottky Diodes, the total efficiency can be improved.

WT6615F QC4/4+ Decoder & Protection on /off P MOSFET and Interface to Power Devices
The few sets of important pins provide critical protocol decoding and regulation functions in WT6615F:

1. CC1 & CC2 (Pin 6, 7): CC1 & CC2 (Configuration Channel 1 & 2) are defined by USB PD spec to provide the channel communication link between power source and sink devices.
2. D+ & D- (Pin 4, 5): While defined under USB PD for data transfer only, D+ and D- are used in QC4+ to provide voltage information and backward compatibility with QC2.0 and QC3.0 devices.
3. Constant Voltage (CV): The CV is implemented by sensing VCC (pin 15) via resistor divider and comparing with internal reference voltage to generate a CV compensation signal on the CATH pin (pin 14). The output voltages can be adjusted by firmware programming.
4. Constant Current (CC): The CC is implemented by sensing current sense resistor (R14, 5mΩ) and current sense amplifier, then comparing with internal programmable reference voltage to generate a compensation signal on CATH pin (pin 14)
5. Loop Compensation: C16, R21 & C20 form the voltage loop compensation circuit, and C15, R20 & C19 form the current  loop compensation circuit.
6. CATH (Pin 14): It is a key interface link from the secondary decoder (WT6615F) to the main regulator circuit (AP3302A). This pin is connected to the Opto-Coupler U2A cathode to feedback all sensed voltage and current for getting desired voltage and current set by CC1, CC2, D+, and D- signals.
7. GATE Driver (Pin 2) to PMOSFET Gate: The pin is used to turn on/off Vbus load switch (Q4 & Q5) to enable/disable voltage output to the Vbus. Two back to back PMOSFETs (Q4 & Q5) are required to prevent reverse current from the attached battery source.

Quick Start Guide Before Connection

1. Before starting the QC4/4+ 27W EVB test, the end user needs to prepare the following tool, software and manuals. For details, please contact Weltrend Semiconductor local agent for further information.
   • Test Kit: WPD016 (Weltrend’s Qualcomm Quick Charge 4/4+ Test Kit)
   • Software: GUI v1.09 (file name: QC4_v1.09)
   • Software: Driver (folder name: libusb-driver)
   • Manual: USBPW_DOC26_WPD016_User_Guide_V1.0
   • Manual: USBPW_DOC28_WPD016_Driver Installation Guide_V1.0
2. Prepare a certified three-foot Type-C cable and a Standard-A to Micro-B Cable.
3. Connect the input AC L & N wires to AC power supply output “L and N “wires.
4. Ensure that the AC source is switched OFF or disconnected before the connection steps.
5. A type-C cable for the connection between EVB’s and WPD016’s Type-C receptacles.
6. Use 2 banana jack cables, one port of the cables are connected to E-load + & – terminals while the other port of the cables are connected to WPD016’s VBUS & GND holes.
7. A Standard-A to Micro-B cable to be connected to the WPD016’s Micro-B receptacle & PC Standard-A receptacle respectively.
