USB EZ-PD Type-C

Hello,

I am reaching out for recommendation for USB Type C hub with the following specifications:

1. Upstream facing port - USB Type C; Connecting to a laptop, desktop or all in one system

2. Two DS port - USB  3.1 Type C; connecting to Intel RealSense camera (D455/435/415)

3. Two DS port - USB  3.1 Type A; connecting to Intel RealSense camera (D455/435/415) (might be optional)

4. One DS port - non-removable USB 2.0; connecting to FT232

5. One DS port- USB 2.0 connecting to Thermal camera

Please let me know which chip would work best for this application. Please note that it is important for us to have access to the reference design file and evaluation board.

Thanks,

Hi,

I am designing CY6611 EZ-USB HX3PD PCB. The main component CYUSB4347/CYUSB4357 is not available in the stock. Can you please suggest alternate part for this one ??

Thanks

Hello

Customers are using the CY4533 kit for evaluation.

V_MIN = VMAX = 5V, current is set at ISNK_COARSE = 2A, ISNK_FIN = 0A.

When the PD compatible adapter and the evaluation board were connected with a Type-C cable, the VBUS Power LED emitted light and the 5V voltage could be confirmed from the VBUS line.

Even when a PD-incompatible Type A adapter and evaluation kit are connected with an A to C cable, the VBUS Power LED emits light and is output from the VBUS line at a voltage of 5V.

(Maximum output of Type A adapter is 5V / 2.4A)

After checking the kit guide, it was recognized that the Fault pin was set up (red LED was lit) and 5V / 900mA was output from Safe_5V Output.

However, the output from Safe_5V Output could not be confirmed.
Why is this?

Best Regards

Hi,

I have two questions:

1. Is there any difference between CYUSB4347-BZXCES and CYUSB4347-BZXC?

2. Would you please explain what is the main difference between signed and unsigned firmware for CYUSB4347/ CYUSB4357?

Thanks,

Hi,

My customer is currently designing a custom board.

In the PowerBank application diagram in the CCG3A datasheet, VDDD is powered by the battery.

When connecting the VTARG to VDDD,  should they add diodes to the VTARG as shown?

Is there any other good connection method?

i want to find  where  in the code   i could see slave address   

the slave  address  set i n  top design    i m review the code but didn't find   file header or source    where  defines  i2c slave address 

Q1 :  where in the source i could see  slave address ?

Q2:  it is possible  to change top design parameters  ( i2c slave address  )  from  command line  

when run .\cyprjmgr.exe -wrk "xxx.cywrk" -build  

Q3:   

I have a total of 16 PWBs build of which two I am unable to program the CYUSB4357-BZXC.  I checked all the supply voltages, chip selects , and so forth and everything seems okay.  On one PWB, I've replace the flash and USB HUB twice and still can't program the USB HUB.  Additionally the PWB was X-ray'd in that area and nothing out of the ordinary was observed.  Via X-ray both the USB connector and transient protection devices seem soldered down properly.  I'm not sure what to do next.  What specific signals, voltages does the USB HUB need for programming?  I included my design implementation and screen capture of the programming errors.  What signals should I be concerned with?  I did notice D+/D- levels appear to be transitioning logic low/logic high versus looking at a those signals on a working device where the levels are much faster and smaller (differential voltages). 

Our firmware is monitoring a fault gpio line from a load switch that is asserted when a connected device is faulting and pulling too much current. If fault condition does not clear within certain time I call app_disable_pd_port() to disable further activity on the port. 

After a delay and when the fault flag has cleared I want to enable the port again. What is the correct way to do this? There is no symmetric API call to enable the port.

We're using CYPD5225-96BZXI. Source mode only.
