Hi,

Yes, You will need a CY4500 EZ-PD Protocol Analyzer kit to capture the traffic between 2 PD devices. CY4500 Analyzer acts as a PD sniffer and displays the PD packets as well as present voltage and current on the Type-C port. You can buy an Analyzer from the following link https://www.cypress.com/documentation/development-kitsboards/cy4500-ez-pd-protocol-analyzer 

CY4532 is an Evaluation kit meant to evaluate the capabilities of CCG3PA chip. CY4532 kit supports a Type-C and a Type-A port and is used to evaluate Power Adapter and Power Bank applications.

Please do refer to following documentation to explore the usage of CY4532 EVK.

EZ-PD Configuration Utility - Used to Configure CY4532 Kit. You can modify PDOs advertised by Type-C port, Thresholds for Over Voltage and Over Current conditions, Legacy charging protocols etc. Please refer to User Guide for further information on usage.

CCG3PA Datasheet - Datasheet of the chip present in the CY4532 kit.

CY4532 Kit Documentation - Documentation related to CY4532 EVK.

Please do let me know if you need further information.

Hi,

I have only the CY4532 EZ-PD and CY4532 EZ-PD, do i need the CY4500 EZ-PD Protocol Analyzer kit to capture the traffic?

Thank you, very kind off you for all the information. I will take the CY4500 EZ-PD Protocol Analyzer kit in this days.

One more think, if is possible.

I'm using a CYPD3175-24LQXQ for my board, and i was looking on PSoC Creator and there no code examples for this kit.

Do you know where i can find an example code for CYPD3175-24LQXQ ?

Thank you again.

Hi,

Please install CCGx Power SDK.https://www.cypress.com/documentation/software-and-drivers/ez-pd-ccgx-power-software-development-kit 

CY4532 kit contains CYPD3171-24LQXQ and can run CYPD3171_cla and CYPD3171_pb projects from the SDK.

For CYPD3175 part, CYPD3175-24LQXQ_pa_direct_fb project can be used.

Please refer to Power SDK guide for elaborate explanation on its usage.
