The growing popularity of standard USB PD3.0 chargers for mobile phones and notebook PCs spurs demand to leverage standard PD3.0 chargers, replacing purposely and individually built chargers for battery-powered electronic devices and reducing e-waste. Equipped with USB Type-C® connectors and enabled by USB PD3.0 sink controllers, these new classes of USB-C PD devices (TCD) easily obtain necessary power from any USB PD3.0 compliance chargers and adaptors through a USB-C cable.
Extending our wide range of USB PD3.0 protocol controllers and charger solutions for energy sources, we released a pair of USB PD3.0 sink controllers: the AP33771 and AP33772 (I2C). These new products address the need for ease-of-adoption, as well as for fulfilling sophisticated and flexible system integration where a host MCU is available for various housing-keeping tasks.
