Programmable EZ-PD™ CCG3PA Solution Enables
Mobile Phone Chargers to Deliver an Improved Fast-Charging User
Experience
Cypress Semiconductor Corp. (NASDAQ:CY), the market leader in
USB-C, today announced that its EZ-PD™ CCG3PA USB-C controller is
one of the industry’s first to achieve Qualcomm® Quick Charge™ 4
certification, enabling mobile phone chargers to deliver an
improved fast charging user experience. Quick Charge 4 supports USB
Power Delivery (PD) 3.0. USB PD features programmable power supply
(PPS), which provides fast, efficient charging by allowing a
smartphone to communicate with the charger to intelligently select
the optimal voltage and current levels. Quick Charge 4 also adds
various safety enhancements and is engineered to allow for charging
without overheating.

Cypress’ programmable CCG3PA controller enables firmware
upgradeability to keep up with evolving standards while ensuring
interoperability. The controller’s high level of integration
minimizes bill-of-material costs and simplifies designs, replacing
multiple discrete components with a single-chip solution. More
information on the EZ-PD CCG3PA controller is available at
http://www.cypress.com/ccg3pa.
“With certified Quick Charge 4 compliance, Cypress’ EZ-PD CCG3PA
controller offers mobile charger makers a highly-integrated
solution to streamline the design of next-generation fast-charging
products,” said Ganesh Subramaniam, Senior Marketing Director for
Cypress’ Wired Connectivity Business Unit. “CCG3PA not only
delivers the required support for Quick Charge 4, but also the
ability to upgrade firmware to keep pace with future changes to
that standard.”
“Having an industry leader in USB-C and USB Power Delivery such
as Cypress support Quick Charge 4 demonstrates its growing adoption
and points to its strong end-user benefits to make charging faster
and easier than ever before,” said Josh Warner, Product Manager,
Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “Quick Charge 4 is bringing the speed,
reliability, safety and consistency of Quick Charge to a broader
range of products, and having the Cypress EZ-PD CCG3PA controller
certified marks another key step forward along that path.”
The EZ-PD CCG3PA controller is a one-chip solution that
minimizes bill-of-material costs for USB-C power source products by
integrating several key components—error amplifiers for constant
voltage, constant current and PPS applications, a 30 V regulator
that allows direct operation from VBUS, VBUS short protection on
configuration channel (CC) pins, gate drivers for high-voltage
power FETs, a low side current sense amplifier, and dedicated
hardware for legacy charger detection protocols plus system level
electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection—that are essential in a
USB-C power adaptor design. Programmable overvoltage and
overcurrent circuitry is included to protect systems against power
overloads and other faulty operating conditions. The controller
also integrates an Arm® Cortex®-M0 and 64KB Flash to support
firmware upgradeability. The product enables design of efficient
USB-C power adapters for a wide range of applications including
mobile phones, notebook PCs, tablets and consumer electronics.
The USB Type-C and Power Delivery standards are gaining rapid
support with top-tier electronics manufacturers by enabling slim
industrial designs, easy-to-use connectors and cables, and the
ability to transmit multiple protocols and deliver up to 100 Watts
of power. The USB Type-C standard’s 2.4-mm-high connector plug is
significantly smaller than the current 4.5-mm USB Standard-A
connector. More info on Cypress’ USB Type-C and Power Delivery
