USB Type-C protocol decoder ideal for automotive applications

Diodes Incorporated AP43776Q USB Type-C Protocol Decoder, available now from Mouser, is a highly integrated, dual-channel, PD3.1/PPS, BC 1.2, and QC protocol decoder. This protocol decoder supports the full range of PPS APDO from 3.3V to 21V with 20mV/step voltage resolution. The protocol decoder supports up to 6A current with 50mA/step resolution for power management. This device features e-Maker detection, VCONN 30MA capability, I2C interface and interrupt, output power de-rating for low battery, and moisture detection between DP and DN. The decoder also offers built-in ADC and a multi-channel multiplexer for voltage and temperature measurement.

The decoder offers an embedded MCU and built-in ADC converters for voltage and temperature measurement. This protocol decoder supports smart power-management functions, including a power-sharing scheme between two attached USB Type-C PD devices.

The protocol decoder is RoHS-compliant and lead, halogen, and antimony free. This protocol decoder is excellent for automotive applications needing specific change control.
