The EZ-PD CCG8 is a USB Type-C controller. The product can support dual-port/single-port USB Type-C, and supports the latest USB Type-C and PD standards. The controller has a built-in N-channel field-effect transistor (NFET) gate drive and features such as fault protection and flutter rate control. In addition, it is equipped with a 32-bit Arm® Cortex-M0 Plus processor at up to 48 MHz, and also integrates the terminal resistance Rp, Rd, and dead battery Rd required for TYPE-C connectivity. These features combine to form a complete set of USB Type-C and USB PD port control solutions. The EZ-PD CCG8 simplifies the design process for engineers and is ideal for advanced connectivity solutions in personal computers (PCS), laptops and other devices.
