Microchip Technology

The UPD301A is a stand-alone, small form factor USB Type-C®Power Delivery (PD) Port Controller designed to adhere to the USB Type-C Cable and Connector Specification and USB Power Delivery 3.0 Specification. The UPD301A provides stand-alone operation for source PD applications, enabling cable plug orientation and detection for a USB Type-C receptacle, and implementing baseband communication with a partner USB Type-C device via the integrated USB Power Delivery 3.0 MAC. The embedded 32-bit ARM Cortex-M0+ implements a full Power Delivery firmware stack, providing a turn-key solution for USB-C charge-only applications, and requiring minimal customer development. Configuration is supported via pin straps to select source functionality and PD power profiles. Optionally, a second PD port is supported via SPI connection to an external Microchip UPD350 USB-C transceiver. The UPD301A provides a stand-alone, fast time-to-market solution for consumer and industrial applications. It is available in commercial (0°C to +70°C) and industrial grade 3 (-40°C to +85°C) temperature ranges
