CCG5 for a USB Hub's DFP

[Steve81800]

Dear Experts,

We are having a project to provide a USB-C PD (supports PPS) as a source for the DFP of a USB3.2 Gen 1 Hub. It is not a Thunderbolt based. Which design kit do I need to start with? The purpose of using CCG5 is to provide power source for the down stream port and control directa USB superspeed MUX.

Hi Steve,

Please note that CCG5 doesnt support PPS and if you dont require Thunderbolt support, you could check CCG3PA which supports PPS by default. Please refer to the comparison of features for all our Type-C PD controllers at- https://www.cypress.com/products/usb-type-c-and-power-delivery

You could use the CC polarity detection in CCG3PA to control your superspeed MUX and the CY4532 EVK can help you get started with CCG3PA. 

Best Regards,
