Cypress introduces a highly integrated, programmable, automotive-grade USB-C controller with power transfer capability

Cypress Semiconductor is a leading leader in embedded system solutions and has introduced a highly integrated, programmable, automotive-grade USB-C controller with power transfer (PD) capability. The automotive-grade EZ-PD CCG2 controller is USB IF certified, ensuring a plug-and-play USB-C user experience for automotive users. This integrated controller offers lower system cost and faster power transfer, and is compliant with the PD 2.0 standard.

"The car's power with USB-C is due to the increased demand for fast charging of mobile devices." Ajay Srikrishna, vice president of cable connectivity business at Cypress, said: "Our automotive-grade EZ-PD CCG2 controller for cars The charging port and infotainment port are optimized and are being designed in collaboration with top automotive suppliers for fast charging and universal connectivity."

The EZ-PD CCG2 controller is the smallest footprint, full-featured PD controller supporting downstream port-oriented (DFP) and upstream port-oriented (UFP) applications. This powerful controller is widely used in personal computers, mobile devices, chargers and electronic tag cables. This programmable controller integrates an Arm-M0 core and 32KB Flash with read and write capabilities to provide firmware upgrades that enable users to keep up with changes in the USB type-c standard and overcome each other as the standard continues to evolve. Operational problems.

The USB-c standard is gaining rapid support from top automotive electronics manufacturers and enables slim designs, easy-to-use connectors and cables, and the ability to transmit multiple protocols and transmit up to 100W. The USB type-c standard 2.4-mm connector plug is smaller than the current 4.5 mm USB standard interface.
