USB EZ-PD Type-C

Hi Everyone,

I am designing a PCB using CY6611- EZ-USB HX3PD Evaluation Board. I was working on the Schematic of my PCB. I was not able to find the AIC6156 power switch by Analog Integrations Corporation used for non-PD ports (DS2 to DS7). 

Can you please help with the datasheet/ information/alternative of the same.

Thanks

When I start EZ-PD Analyzer Utility it says "EZ-PD Analyzer is not connected", but when I check Windows Control panel it's there:

I came up with an idea using USB Power Delivery / Quick charge. I did some research in the topic, but please excuse me if my terminology is not correct.

The device I would like to make is a fairly simple charge controller for phones/notebooks. It only has 2 type-c connectors, one for the power source and one for the phone/notebook which has to be charged. The phone/notebook is running some software which is communicating with the charge controller over USB, using this the user is able to limit the charge speed or set battery limit (e.g: stop at 80%).

During my research I found your company product EZ-PD™ CCG3PA which seems a perfect fit to this problem. I watched the video series and read some specifications/articles on the topic, but I'm still not sure if this idea is feasible.

As an expert what do you think is this idea feasible?

Are there any similar products which I'm unaware of?

Are there any common pitfalls which I should be aware of?

Thanks in advance,

Gabor

If it enable the OTP setting in the Configuration Utility, some setting items will be showed. Please tell me the meaning of these.

Or, if it is mentioned in the documentation, please tell me where it is.

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?

Hi Cypress

In the process of updating Retimer FW on our TGL-U Platform , We have first requested HW to switch to FW update mode before performed Retimer capsule update, We found that it did not enter update mode ( We use Intel Tool for detection ) so that we need your help as below , Thank !!

1.Please refer to the orange box : How to enter FW update mode? How to check it already enter FW update mode ?

2.Please refer to the red box : Our design does not have EC ( We use BIOS for update process) so that we need to know which Command or message will be sent back to EC after Retimer self-checking ? Then what will CCG5 send back to EC to complete the entire Update process?

3.Do you have any update details sequence or sample codec for reference , Thank !!

Hi ,

I want to create a thunderbolt hub and TB hub extender with CCG 5 controller. The picture shows the power path which I want to design. Is it have any similar development kit or product came out?

Best,

I get the following error. I would like to know the solution.
