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:
- Watch the training video available here, to get more information on Type-C technology and its applications
- See the datasheets of CCGx/CMGx for more details.
- Start prototyping your design using one of the CCGx Kits offered by Infineon.
CCGx Kit |
Type-C Controller |
Application(s) Supported |
CCG3 |
Single Port Downstream Facing Port (Host) application with Dual Role Power, DisplayPort source, and USB host |
|
CCG4 |
Single or Dual Port Downstream Facing Port (Host) application on a single chip with Dual Role Power, DisplayPort source, and USB host. |
|
CCG3PA |
USB Type-C Power Adapter, USB Type-C Mobile Charger and USB Type-C Power Bank applications with Dual Role Power |
4. Start your firmware configuration and customization using the EZ-PD™ Configuration Utility and the CCGx Software Development Kits (SDK) offered by Infineon.
