Introducing USB Type-C™ Power Delivery Evaluation Boards from STMicroelectronics

ST Title Image

STMicroelectronics have a wide range of USB devices available including transceivers, port protection and power controllers, they have now released power delivery products for the latest USB smart Type-C™ connector standard.

Originally introduced on computer platforms to facilitate data transfers, USB connectivity slowly moved from a data-transfer to a device-charging standard with the wide adoption of micro-B ports on smartphones and nearly every other mobile device. Now ubiquitous in everyday life, the standard is again quickly evolving with the introduction of a new smart Type-C™ connector. Able to deliver 100 W of power with a 10 Gbit/s data transfer rate, the Type-C™ connector also has the unique skills for switching to alternate or custom communication standards. Making the best use of these new features will open the door to new applications especially in the mobile, wearable, accessories and IoT arena.

STMicroelectronics portfolio is designed to cope with various hardware/software partitioning solutions in order to best match specific application requirements and design architecture. All ICs are manufactured using High-voltage technology and are naturally robust to high voltages to protect products from damage while guaranteeing user safety.

Two key products from STMicroelectronics for USB Type-C™ designs are the STUSB1602 USB Power Delivery companion chip and the STUSB4710 Stand-alone USB Power Delivery controller. The STUSB1602 USB Power Delivery Companion chip is a high-voltage analog IC suitable for every MCU. It embeds an autonomous Type-C™ controller, USB PD TX/RX line driver and BMC transceiver, 600 mA VCONN switch and VBUS switch gate driver as well as VBUS monitoring and 22 V short-to-VBUS protection features. The STUSB4710 Stand-alone USB Power Delivery controller targets power-source applications such AC adapters, power supplies, power hubs, smart plugs and DC-DC applications. This IC integrates all the digital and high-voltage analog circuitry needed to autonomously support full USB PD negotiation. It supports up to 5 Power Data Objects (PDO) and power-sharing applications thanks to its I2C interface.

STMicroelectronics have produced a suite of evaluation boards to help engineers accelerate designs using the STUSB1602 and STUSB4710 devices, read on to find out more and to register for FREE evaluation boards.
