Infineon Technologies CY4535 EZ-PD™ BCR LITE Evaluation Kit

Infineon Technologies CY4535 EZ-PD™ BCR (Barrel Connector Replacement) LITE 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 CY4535 EZ-PD BCR LITE Evaluation Kit is based on the CYPD3178 EZ-PD BCR USB Type-C Port Controller. The CYPD3178 device does not support the USB-PD (Power Delivery) protocol, unlike the CYPD3177 or CYPD3176 devices. The CYPD3178 device can be used for USB-C sink or devices that are only capable of accepting power from the following:

USB Type-C only chargers that are capable of delivering 5V (up to 3A) or,
USB Type-A or Type-C chargers that can operate at 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V, or 20V using proprietary methods of negotiation over the D+/D- lines

The Evaluation Kit ships with pre-programmed firmware, which can be customized using the EZ-PD Configuration Utility.
