Complete USB Type-C Power Delivery PHY, RTL, and Software

Overview

The OTI9108 is a complete single transceiver front end for data USB PD Type-C (baseband) communications. It has a register interface which, with an MPU, and available Obsidian software, a complete PD port device can be designed.

At $72K for a basic multi-use license The OT9108 is not only the most mature USB Type-C IP available, it is the lowest cost.

Turnkey chips and customized software are available

Key Features

  • USB PD 3.1 compliant.
  • Ultra low power wake function.
  • 8 bit register interface for a low speed processor, or optional I2C interface.
  • Integrated Chapter 6 protocol reduces required MPU response time to 10mS.
  • K code recognition/coding, preamble, CRC, etc load from processor.
  • Supports PPS and EPR.
  • VCONN 35 or 200mA foldback and over temperature protected driver switches.
  • 3V or 5V VCONN options.
  • Supports UFP, DFP, and dual role.
  • Supports 1.5A & 3A current modes.
  • Single 12MHz clock + 32KHz low power clock.
  • Low power: normally operates on 32KHz clock.
  • Compliance tested port IP.
  • Low cost CMOS process technology.
  • <0.7mm2 die area at 180nm.
  • Optional support for EPR to 48V.
  • Available as IP for integration or as complete chip.
  • FPGA based Demo/development board available.
  • Turnkey integration service available.

Benefits
