Hi all

I bought the EVK for the CCG3PA chip in order to realize a single cell battery powerbank with the only type C dual role with fast charging protocols.

Starting from your reference design I believe it can be realized but the firmware is missing. How can we do to achieve this?

Can someone help us?

Hi Massimo,

CY4532 is exactly 1-cell design for Type-C power bank. And the firmware source code have released on websites. The latest one is SDK3.3. Download link: https://www.cypress.com/documentation/software-and-drivers/ez-pd-ccgx-power-software-development-kit

After the SDK installed, the project is: CYPD3171-24LQXQ_pb.

>> Please kindly noticed that the HEX file of EVK is also along with SDK or Firmware file along with CY4532 EVAL KIT STEP UP package. https://www.cypress.com/documentation/development-kitsboards/cy4532-ez-pd-ccg3pa-evaluation-kit

Best Regards,

Lisa

Hi Massimo,

As we have talked through e-mail, we can supply hex file to you. But you need to build you own code if you want to modify hardware.

Hi,

Have you decided on the 1 cell Charger IC you will be using?

We have built a lot of 2/3/4 and 5 Cell design in the past few year but we do not have an option for your 1S requirements

SouthChip and ACT code does exists and can be attained under NDA from either company

Best,

Rad

Hi Massimo,

I made a clear single Type-C power bank firmware project and post it on Cypress Development Community. You could begin to firmware customize from there if it is possible. Download link: CY4532 Power Bank Firmware Clear For Single Type-C DRP Design

Dear Lisa,

thank you very much for the project.

Does this work with a single cell battery? Is it possible to have the schematic?

Thanks a lot anyway I'll try.

Greetings

Dear Massimo,

The firmware I supplied in the blog is only for Type-C management. It is not reply on any DC/DC, you could enable Type-C part based on Cypress Power bank firmware project and the schematic without USB-A you attached can be worked.

Best Regards,

Lisa

Dear Lisa,

can send me the complete schematic? I have difficult to reproduce this.

In any case how connect VBUS_P_CTRL and VBUS_C_CTRL to FETS? The FETS are the 4 same used for SC8802? I can’t find the datasheet of this. Can send me an alternative?

Can send me a datasheet of 5V regulator? FB is connected to FB1 of SC8802?

Pin 3 of SC8802 is disconnected?

Greetings

Dear Massimo,

We are difficult to send the SC8802 datasheet to you. Since the datasheet is confidential. But I just used Google and input SC8802, the datasheet is show up:

http://www.korechip.com/uploadfile/cfile/upload/20187316544193.pdf

For the 5V regulator, CY4532 using TPS63060DSCR, the datasheet is from the link:http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/tps63060.pdf

Best Regards,

Lisa

Sorry Lisa, we have got it,

I want the complete schematic because we have more difficult to design this

Dear Lisa,

sorry but i don’t understand the interconnections.

In attachment the schematic with in red the doubt.

how are mosfets connected to CCG3PA?

Are the same highlighted?

The online MOSFET manufacturer code is not found.
