Overview

The MCP22350-2I/Q8X is a USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) controller designed to manage Type-C connections via an SPI interface. It features integrated BMC and 4B/5B encoding, CRC generation, and VCONN FETs to simplify the implementation of USB 3.1 power negotiation and data path control.

Why Choose This Part

This controller integrates critical analog discrete components, including VCONN FETs with Rp/Rd switching and a 3.3V power switch, significantly reducing PCB footprint. It handles complex USB-PD MAC functions like SOP detection and automatic GoodCRC generation in hardware, offloading timing-critical tasks from the host microcontroller.

Applications

USB Type-C Power Delivery
Managing power contract negotiations for devices requiring specific voltage and current profiles over Type-C.
Battery-Powered Portables
Utilizing dead battery Rd termination and FRS (Fast Role Swap) support for robust mobile power management.
USB-C Docking Stations
Controlling power flow and signal orientation for multi-port peripheral hubs and docking solutions.
