Cypress Semiconductor Corporation announced its latest USB-C controllers with Power Delivery, EZ-PD CCG6DF and CCG6SF. The new dual and single-port USB-C controllers offer the high BOM integration for next-generation notebooks and desktops, enabling a smaller design footprint and reducing costs for OEMs. The latest Cypress EZ-PD controllers will also support the new USB4™ standard as well as the latest Intel Thunderbolt™ platforms. Cypress’ latest EZ-PD series of USB-C controllers improve upon prior generation designs by integrating multiple features including a VBUS provider load switch for power with fault protection. The controllers have an embedded 32-bit Arm® Cortex®-M0 processor with 64-KB flash for enhanced programmability and to enable firmware upgrades to support the new USB4 standard, which significantly improves the data transfer rate to 40Gb/s and allows simultaneous support of USB 3.2, DisplayPort, and PCIe. The controllers are sampling and available in configurations including 96-pin BGA and 48-pin QFN packages. The USB-C standard for connectivity is being widely adopted by the world’s leading manufacturers of PCs as well as makers of peripheral devices and accessories. USB-C can simultaneously power devices as well as transmit data using the same cable and standard reversible connector. USB-C powers devices up to 100W and enables the consolidation of different interfaces on the same port. USB-C also offers a range of user benefits including support for multiple standards including USB4, Thunderbolt, DisplayPort, and HDMI.
