There are application example in CCG5 datasheet (Document Number: 002-17682 Rev. *F).

Figure8 - 10 are corresponded to Thunderbolt.

What kind of products are these Thunderbolt Controllers?
Please let me know if there are specific products.

And , Cypress Web still has no reference design and  Evaluation Kit for CCG5.

Are there any plans to offer them?

Hi,

The thunderbolt is a specification by Intel and Apple. With this feature it is possible to send both the display port data and HCI data simultaneously from one Type C port to another in a single cable at 40 Gbps speed. This is supported by CCG5

Hi, Madhu-san,

Thank you for your information on the Thunderbolt.
I had checked already those webs.

I want to know when Cypress provides CCG5 evaluation kit.

Will Cypress release the CCG5 evaluation kit in the future?

Hi,

The CCG5 board is not yet open to broad market. Please contact Cypress FAEs in Japan.
