How to develop a design with Infineon USB Type-C products?

 

Infineon offers eight USB Type-C port controllers:

 

- EZ-PD™ CMG1

- EZ-PD CCG6

- EZ-PD CCG5

- EZ-PD CCG4

- EZ-PD CCG3PA

- EZ-PD CCG3

- EZ-PD CCG2

- EZ-PD CCG1

CMG1, CCG6, CCG5, CC3PA, CCG4, and CCG3 port controllers are fully compliant with the latest USB-IF defined USB Type-C Revision 1.3 and USB Power Delivery Revision 3.0 (PD3.0) specifications.

CCG2 and CCG1 controllers comply with older USB Type-C Revision 1.2 and Power Delivery Revision 2.0 (PD2.0) specifications.

Information on the Infineon USB Type-C products can be found on the USB Type-C and Power Delivery products webpage.

 

USB Type-C Product design

 

Follow these steps to get started with the design:

  1. Watch the training video available here, to get more information on Type-C technology and its applications

  2. See the datasheets of CCGx/CMGx for more details. 

  3. Start prototyping your design using one of the CCGx Kits offered by Infineon.
