Mouser Now Shipping Cypress' Quick Charge 4-Certified CCG3PA Controller for Fast Smartphone Charging

June 19, 2018 - Mouser Electronics, Inc., the industry's leading New Product Introduction (NPI) distributor with the widest selection of semiconductors and electronic components, is now stocking the EZ-PD™ CCG3PA USB Type-C and Power Delivery (PD) controller from Cypress Semiconductor. Among the industry's first controllers to receive Qualcomm Quick Charge 4 certification, the CCG3PA controller supports fast charging of smartphones, tablets, notebook PCs, and power banks. The highly integrated controller reduces costs and simplifies designs, allowing for straightforward development of next-generation fast-charging applications and products.

The Cypress EZ-PD CCG3PA controller, available from Mouser Electronics, supports USB-C power source and dual-role power source/sink. Additionally, the controller fully supports the USB PD 3.0 Programmable Power Supply (PPS) specification, which allows smartphones to communicate with the charger to determine the ideal voltage and current levels. The controller's Quick Charge 4 certification also incorporates improved safety features to ensure fast charging without overheating.

The programmable CCG3PA controller includes an Arm^® Cortex^®-M0 microcontroller and 64 Kbytes of flash, enabling firmware upgrades that support future changes to fast charging standards. The one-chip device integrates several necessary components, including a 30V-tolerant regulator, high-voltage PFET gate drivers, VBUS-to-CC short protection, a VBUS and current sense amplifier, and hardware dedicated to legacy charger protocols. This advanced integration of the CCG3PA controller minimizes the bill-of-material costs associated with developing USB-C power source products.

The Cypress CCG3PA controller is supported by system-level electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection as well as dedicated overcurrent and overvoltage circuitry. Enabling the safe and reliable performance of fast charging applications, the integrated safety features defend against faulty operating conditions like power overloads. The speed and consistency of the CCG3PA controller allows for the design of USB Type‑C power adapters for a broad range of applications including consumer electronics, power banks and vehicle chargers.
