•Enables delivery of 100W of power, whilst transmitting USB data, to create a single cable for connectivity of all consumer products
•Supports a total of 30 UPD profiles with a single chip
•Integrated quad-banks of one-time programmable memory enable customisation without external memoryÂ
•Applications include consumer, industrial, automotive and other products
Microchip announces, from Computex Taipei, a new family of USB Power Delivery (UPD) controllers – the UPD100XÂ with an industry-standard power delivery and battery charging protocol. Â A single USB cable can be used for data and simultaneously deliver up to 100W of power from a single standard USB port which is 40 times the power compared to USB 2.0. Â With up to 100W of available power, designers can dynamically allocate this power to fast battery charging and system power
The UPD1001 is the first of the family and is a highly flexible and configurable solution that supports the five USB-IF standard UPD power profiles plus an additional 25 UPD-compliant profiles for a total ofÂ
30 profiles supported by a single chip. Â This will allow designers to select the optimum power profiles in order to meet their specific application requirements. Â Simple configuration is achieved by strapping the two configuration select pins on the UPD1001. Â A multitude of configurations are available to provide utmost flexibility. Â Integrated quad-banks of one-time programmable memory allow for further system customisation without the need for any external memory components.
The UPD100X family serves a wide range of applications such as consumer notebooks, printers and accessories, docking stations, mobile devices and battery chargers; industrial computers and handheld devices; and automotive products including head units, break-out boxes and USB battery chargers, among other applications.
The UPD1001 is supported by Microchip’s UPD1001 Evaluation Kit (EVB-UPD1001) price at $299.00 and is available today.
The UPD1001 devices are available now for sampling in 32-pin QFN and 28-pin TSSOP. Â Volume production for these devices is expected in July.
