Infineon Technologies CY4534 EZ-PD™ BCR PLUS Evaluation Kit

Infineon Technologies CY4534 EZ-PD™ BCR (Barrel Connector Replacement) PLUS Evaluation Kit is a reference design for replacing an existing barrel power connector with a USB Type-C™ connector. Implementing this solution in an end-product allows the system to be powered by any USB-C-compliant power adapter.

The Infineon Technologies CY4534 EZ-PD BCR PLUS Evaluation Kit is based on the CYPD3176 EZ-PD BCR USB Type-C Port Controller. The Evaluation Kit ships with pre-programmed firmware, which can be customized using the EZ-PD Configuration Utility.

The CY4500 EZ-PD Protocol Analyzer (not included) is required to observe and analyze the USB power delivery packets exchanged between the Evaluation Kit and the USB Type-C power adapter.
