UCPD : TCPP01-M12 as source power delivery

I am using STM32L562 family microcontroller. I have interfaced TCPP01-M12 with my microncontroller. I have a doubt , whether i can use this device when using UCPD in source mode, as i am unable to configure software packages for source mode(X-CUBE-TCPP). It shows that i have to enable tcpp02-03 to use ucpd in source mode. Kindly verify if support of TCPP01 in source mode is provided or not. If it is not provided what efforts will it take to use TCCP01 in UCPD source mode.

TCPP01-M12 is not reconfigurable and can only be used for sink applications.

For source applications, you must in fact use TCPP02-M18 instead.

Only TCPP03-M20 can be used as a Dual Role Power Device (DRP) for both.

Hope that helps?

Good luck!

Indeed - the clues are in the names:

A complex system that works is invariably found to have evolved from a simple system that worked.A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work.
