Hi Infineon
Why CYPD3177 sink path need two P MOSFET, Can we use one P MOS for it, Thanks!!

Hi,
The back-to-back FETs are required to avoid reverse current that will flow in the backward direction from the load to source through the parasitic diode (body diode) of the MOSFET. The body diodes prevent this current in backward direction when FETs are off.
However you can evaluate your system and use 1 FET instead of 2. For example, if you are using BCR to directly charge a battery (VBUS connected to battery), then there is a high chance that in OFF state there is a reverse current. So, its recommended to use back to back FETs in such scenario.
