USB-C PD 3.1 with Advanced Configuration Options and PPS

Infineon's CY4534 EZ-PD™ barrel connector replacement plus (BCR-Plus) EVK is an evaluation platform for customers who want to easily replace an existing barrel/power input connector with a USB-C connector. Implementing this solution in an end-product allows the system to be powered by any USB-C-compliant power adapter.

CY4534 provides a USB Type-C® receptacle to consume power from a charger and then supply it over a terminal block. A barrel connector can be attached to this block by using wires to convert a barrel input to USB Type-C.

CY4534 has a pre-programmed firmware with functionality as documented in the CYPD3176 device datasheet. As an additional option, customization of the EZ-PD BCR-PLUS firmware solution is available and can make changes to the configuration parameters using the EZ-PD configuration utility to fit the needs of their end-application.
