Microchip Technology EV65D44A USB Software Framework Evaluation Kit

Microchip Technology EV65D44A USB Power Delivery Software Framework Evaluation Kit is a full-featured hardware development platform for evaluating USB Power Delivery Framework (PSF). The EV65D44A development platform utilizes Microchip’s SAMD20 series micro-controller and UPD350 Type-C™ USB Power Delivery (PD) controller. Additionally, the Kit also supports Microchip’s PD3.0 compliant UPD301B/C standalone Type-C™ PD controller.

The Microchip EV65D44A USB Power Delivery Software Framework Evaluation Kit is powered by the highly configurable PSF software stack that eases the implementation of up to two Type-C™ USB PD ports and reduces the overall time to market. Each port on the device is capable of handling up to 100W.

The USB Power Delivery Software Framework Evaluation Kit is compliant with the USB 3.1 Gen1/Gen2, USB 2.0 HS, Full-Speed (FS), and Low-Speed (LS) USB signaling.

Features

  • ATSAMD20E16A Micro-controller for running PD software stack
  • Two UPD350 Type-C™ PD Transceivers for managing the PD ports
  • Two full-featured Type-C USB PD ports with data capable of handling up to 100W
  • Supports PD source, PD sink, and dual role operation
  • Supports dead battery mode for sink and dual role applications
  • Supports USB 3.1 (Gen1/Gen2) and USB 2.0 (HS, FS, and LS) operation
  • Supports the self-powered and bus-powered operation
  • Plug-In Module (PIM) support for UPD301B/C Type-C standalone Type-C PD
  • Supports GPIO mode and I2C mode control of DC-DC modules
  • Highly configurable jumper options for the SAMD20 and UPD350 to enable flexible I/O assignment
  • Flexibility to power the board from single or multiple power supplies
  • PKoB Nano onboard programmer/debugger for programming the SAMD20
  • LED voltage and current meters for each PD port
