USB-C microcontrollers offer flexibility and security

These microcontrollers provide engineers with an integrated, one-chip solution for high-voltage USB-C applications requiring a flexible and secure MCU and a reduced bill-of-materials (BOM), like power tools, small appliances, E-bikes and more.

The EZ-PD PMG1-B1 microcontrollers are highly integrated, single-port USB-C Power Delivery (PD) solutions.

They feature an integrated Arm Cortex (-M0/M0+) processor, 128-KB flash, 16-KB RAM and 32-KB ROM, plus analogue and digital peripherals.

Another feature is integrated buck-boost controllers. These controllers offer integrated gate drivers for VBUS NFET on the consumer path for sink applications and hardware-controlled protection features on the VBUS.

The device supports a wide input voltage range (4 V to 24 V with 40 V tolerance) with programmable switching frequencies (150 kHz to 600 kHz) in an integrated USB power device solution.

The EZ-PD PMG1-B1 also features an integrated hardware crypto engine with vector unit, and a wide ambient temperature range of -40°C to +105°C with a +125°C operating junction temperature.
