Are there any reference designs for EZ-PD Type-C USB that support 100 watts?  Can the CCG3PA chip be swapped with a CCG3 on this design to support 100 watts? - https://www.cypress.com/documentation/reference-designs/ccg3pa-car-charger-reference-design-using-so...

I also stumbled on the CCG3 Power Adaptor Solution Demo files. I believe these are meant to be used with the eval kit, but it looks like the schematic could be used to build a straight PD power adaptor.  I'm looking for a DC-DC power supply that outputs via USB-C PD at up to 100 watts.

Hi ,

Currently, the 100W car charger Cypress can offer is CY4532 board. Download link: https://www.cypress.com/documentation/development-kitsboards/cy4532-ez-pd-ccg3pa-evaluation-kit

If you have a chance to take a look Cypress AUTO Car Charger solution, you will get 100W car charger solution directly: https://www.cypress.com/documentation/reference-designs/ez-pd-ccg3pa-automotive-2x100w-charge-only-r...

From the reference design, you will see that the 100W support limitation is on DC/DC side. CCG3PA just need configuration and VCONN support is enough.

For change CCG3PA Car Charger reference design to CCG3, we do not recommend it. Since the reference design you have been figured out is based on directly feedback and relay on FB of CCG3PA. If you change to CCG3, you have to use I2C control DC/DC and the PPS support becomes high risk.

Best Regards,

Lisa

Where do I find the Cypress AUTO Car Charger solution?  I've reached out to several of the distributors on your list and none of them have it.  Is it an actual product or is it just a reference design?
