Dual port host controller with EPR support

[KiLe_4629881]

Hi, 
I would like to find out about EPR support for dual port host controllers. Looking at the roadmap posted elsewhere on the forum, there is CCG6DF and CCG8D. 

Our main supplier AVL only notes support for CCG6, however the datasheet only states CCG6 does not support EPR. Is it possible to add EPR support to the CCG6DF firmware? Or pass EPR messages through the CCG6 to the embedded controller using the host command interface to support EPR? 

This would require that we add external protection circuits to the CCG6 cc pins and source path. 

As an alternative does the CCG8D support EPR? And what maximum voltage can it support? we are targeting 36V.

Hello ,

If the target is EPR implements in Host application, please use CCG8 directly. Currently, CCG8 could target to 48V as per latest Type-C power delivery specification. 

Best Regards,

Hi Lisa, 

Thanks for your reply, what is the timeline to release CCG8? I would like to see if it aligns with our product. The roadmap you posted in another post was from over a year ago, and does not show any updates on the CCG8 launch roadmap.

Hello Kyle,

CCG8 Mass Production schedule is Sep. 2022 as scheduled.

Hi Lisa, 

Thanks, Could you privately share with us any preliminary datasheet etc on CCG8?
