5.2 System Supports EPR Power but PD Keeps Selecting 20V PDOs

Assume there is a system that has the default settings discussed however the following are selected:

  • AUTO_NEGOTIATE_SINK.AutoNegMaxVoltage = 400d (20V)
  • AUTO_NEGOTIATE_SINK.AutoComputeSinkMaxVoltage = 0

This PD device is EPR-capable and can successfully enter into EPR mode with an EPR-capable USB-PD Source. However the PD device only requests 20V even in EPR mode. This is due to the fact that the AUTO_NEGOTIATE_SINK.AutoNegMaxVoltage is configuration (or set by the EC) to 20V meaning the PD device never accepts any voltage higher than 20V.
