EZ-PD™ PMG1-S1 high-voltage MCU with USB-C and PD

The simplest USB-C HV MCU supporting Dual Role Port, including moist detection

anchor

Overview

EZ-PD™ PMG1-S1 is the simplest MCU that supports dual role port (DRP) USB PD applications. It includes 128 KB flash, a complete USB-C PD transceiver with all termination resistors (RP, RD, and dead battery RD), and system-level ESD protection. EZ-PD™ PMG1-S1 is targeted for any embedded systems that provide/consume power to/from a high-voltage USB PD port and leverages the microcontroller to provide additional configuration capability.

More about EZ-PD™ PMG1-S1

EZ-PD™ PMG1 (Power Delivery Microcontroller Gen 1) is the industry´s first family of high-voltage microcontrollers (MCUs) with USB Power Delivery (PD). These chips include an Arm® Cortex®-M0/M0+ CPU and a USB PD controller along with analog and digital peripherals. It targets embedded systems that provide/consume power to/from a high-voltage USB PD port and leverages the microcontroller to provide additional configuration capability. EZ-PD™ PMG1-S1 is the simplest MCU of the EZ-PD™ PMG1 portfolio able to support dual role port (DRP) USB PD applications. Besides including 128 KB flash, a complete USB-C PD transceiver with all termination resistors (RP, RD, and dead battery RD), and system-level ESD protection, the device also integrates high-voltage circuits up to 20 V such as regulators, FET gate drivers, and fault protection for overvoltage, overcurrent, reverse current, and VBUS-to-CC short to enable a robust and easy-to-use solution, while reducing the bill of materials (BOM) cost.

Why choose EZ-PD™ PMG1
  • Area and BOM saving thanks to the integration of USB PD MCUs with the necessary high-voltage protection circuits and gate drivers for a complete USB PD system solution.
  • EZ-PD™ PMG1 SDK on ModusToolbox™ software with plenty of code examples and varied support documentation to speed up the design cycle and reduce time to market
  • Market-proven solution compatible with USB-IF and PD standards to minimize implementation risk
  • Customizable solution able to fit all applications 
  • No in-depth knowledge of USB-C is required
  • Suitable for commercial or industrial applications

EZ-PD™ PMG1 applications

A growing number of products in consumer, industrial, and communications segments are adopting USB-C ports to source power. Infineon offers dedicated solutions to integrate USB-C ports into customers' embedded applications. Typical use cases include smart speakers, cameras, headphones, game consoles, power tools, VR headsets and other portable electronics, and home appliances. As the leader in USB-C end-to-end solutions, Infineon provides a comprehensive portfolio of solutions for USB-C chargers and power adapters.

Why move to USB-C

Over 10 billion USB ports will move to USB-C by 2025: mobiles, notebooks, and cars have already chosen this standard, and so will every common DC power source/sink up to 240 W in just a couple of years. The advantages of USB-C are several: plug orientation and cable direction agnostic, bidirectional power flow using USB-PD and negotiable voltage, and power up to 240 W. Moreover, by adopting a universal connector, companies can avoid including proprietary chargers for their product, significantly reducing the production of e-waste and their costs at the same time.
