Now available from Mouser, Microchip Technology's UTC2000 Basic USB Type-C
Controller expands the capabilities of USB with new features like a new
connector and simplified current capability marking.
The UTC2000 USB Type-C controller has a small, reversible form factor and
elevated charging current abilities of a USB Type-C solution while minimally
impacting the overall cost per port. Its a cost-effective, simple solution
that facilitates rapid migration of legacy USB 2.0/3.0 designs to the USB
Type-C connector.
The device is designed for USB 2.0/3.0 Downstream Facing Port (DFP) and
Upstream Facing Port (UFP) applications and performs all of the necessary
detection and control required for implementing a basic USB Type-C
connector. The UTC2000 features ADCs that monitor the CC1 and CC2 pins of
the USB Type-C receptacle to detect various connection events.
Applications include laptops, desktop PCs, monitors, USB hubs, USB wall
chargers, industrial and automotive systems.
