USB-C Interface
CT20601 is a USB Type-C Interface which includes optional VCONN and VBUS management features.
Overview
CT20601 is a complete USB Type-C Interface which includes optional VCONN and VBUS management features. It implements the dual-role port CC1/CC2 interface including the disabled Voltage Clamp for dead-battery operations and the VCONN power-configurable switches, with over-current protections
The VBUS management (with optional 10bit AD Conversion) includes Force/Bleed discharge and power paths commands.
The digital section of the USB-C Interface:
- Controls the CC lines of the USB Type-C connector
- Controls the port role
- Debounces VBUS and CC lines
- Controls the port power role
- Monitors levels on CC lines, selecting the comparators thresholds, for detecting connection/disconnection and termination changes.
CT20601 interfaces with the Host by means of a set of standardized registers which provides commands to control operations.
Key features
- USB Power Delivery 3.1-certified
- VCONN Management, including over-current protections
- VBUS Management, including force/bleed discharge commands and power-path commands
- No external components
- Voltage and current references, test infrastructures, included
