Since 1996, Cypress has continued to promote the implementation of USB technology and applications around the world. At present, Cypress USB-C control is widely used in USB PD chargers, mobile power supplies, car chargers, wireless chargers, docking stations, etc. field. In the field of USB PD fast charging, as an old-fashioned chip manufacturer, Cypress can provide flexible and high-performance USB PD protocol chips to help finished product manufacturers solve the problem of protocol identification. The high performance and design flexibility have been recognized by well-known manufacturers such as Apple, Huawei, Anker, Xiaomi, Samsung, SONY, etc., and entered their supply chain. After long-term verification in the market, it has a good reputation in the industry.

In 2018, Cypress‘s USB-related IC sales totaled more than 2 billion, occupying the largest market share of Type-C.

In 2019, shipments of devices equipped with Type-C interfaces are expected to reach 2 billion units. The penetration rate of Type-C in notebooks and desktop computers will reach 80%, and the penetration rate in products such as smartphones and tablet computers will also reach 50%. In the facelifted models in 2018, Type-C has also become a Standard on-board charging interface.

A report from IHS Technology predicts that all devices using USB may now be unified as Type-C.

Cypress is a leading supplier of USB technology and USB-C controllers, and its growing portfolio of EZ-PD USB-C controllers includes: CCG1, CCG2, CCG3, CCG3PA, CCG4, CCG5/CCG6, BCR, and more.

Cypress plays an extremely important role in the entire Type-C industry chain. The EZ-PD CCGx USB-C controller, with the industry‘s most comprehensive and mature development tools and reference designs, greatly simplifies the development of Type-C products.

The Cypress EZ-PD CCGx product family tree and features are as follows:

GGG1: The world‘s first programmable USB-C controller

CCG2: Industry‘s Smallest Single-Chip Programmable PD Controller

CCG3: The Most Integrated Programmable USB-C Solution on the Market

CCG3PA: The Most Integrated Programmable USB-C Controller Optimized for USB-C Power

CCG4: The world‘s first dual-port USB-C solution

CCG5/CCG6: Industry‘s First Dual-Port USB-C Controller with Thunderbolt 3 Support

BCR – World’s First Dedicated USB-C Power Delivery Controller to Replace Barrel Plugs

Today, Cypress‘s EZ-PDCCG6 controller is also available. EZ-PDCCG6 is a single-port Type-C PD controller for PCs and laptops, with integrated VBus load switch controller, USB certification support, VBUS-to-CC short-circuit protection, VBUS-to-SBU short-circuit protection, 20V-VBUS Voltage regulator, high voltage PFET gate drive, SBU and USB HS Mux, VBUS overvoltage, overcurrent protection and ESD protection.

Recently, Cypress also launched the PAG1 power chip, and the PAG1 series was officially unveiled at the end of last month. The PAG1 is a complete AC-DC power delivery solution with an integrated USB Protocol Power Delivery (PD) controller, enabling OEMs to create reliable, efficient and cost-effective power adapters for the growing USB-C charger market. Because the chip is highly integrated and supports a variety of fast charging protocols, it has attracted much attention once it is released.

The EZ-PD portfolio is the industry‘s first product family to comply with the USB PD 3.0 specification, enabling more robust end-to-end power delivery and charging solutions for laptops and mobile devices. Cypress is also able to offer AEC-Q100 qualified automotive-grade CCG and CCG3PA controllers.

Cypress is the market leader in USB-C technology. The EZ-PD PAG1 is a two-chip USB-C power delivery solution that integrates the main primary, secondary and USB PD controller components, again leading the market. With its advanced features, PAG1 can provide OEMs with the industry‘s best efficiency, higher reliability and reduced bill of materials. The PAG1 is fully programmable, allowing OEM designers to easily configure their USB charger solutions to support multiple charging standards including: PD3.0 (PPS), QC4/4+, Apple Charging, QC 3.0/ 2.0, Samsung AFC and BC 1.2.

"With the EZ-PD PAG1, Cypress is now able to provide a fully integrated power adapter solution with AC-DC and USB-C components, providing customers with more Great value, solidifying our leadership position. We have always been customer-centric, and the highly integrated PAG1 series is specifically designed to meet customers‘ needs for a high-performance USB protocol power supply solution."

In addition, the EZ-PD BCR solution enables OEMs to easily replace the barrel plug in any electronic product that consumes less than 100W of power with USB-C. Regardless of the product, Cypress can provide a complete end-to-end USB protocol power supply solution from the power supplier to the power receiver, thus laying a solid foundation for realizing the vision of "USB-C drives everything".
