Overview

The RT1715WSC is a versatile USB Type-C and Power Delivery (PD) controller that supports Dual-Role Port (DRP) functionality. It integrates hardware-based attach/detach detection and cable recognition while communicating with an application processor via a standard I2C interface. This controller is designed for Power Delivery 3.0 compliance in space-constrained mobile and consumer applications.

Why Choose This Part

This controller offers extremely low power consumption with a 15uA shutdown current and 25uA standby current, making it ideal for battery-sensitive designs. It features an integrated E-fuse and VCONN support with programmable over-current protection within a compact 1.38x1.34mm 9-WLCSP package.

Applications

Getting Started

Engineers should interface the RT1715WSC with an application processor using the I2C bus to manage PD policy and state transitions. The device's dead battery support ensures it can be powered from a VBUS source before the main system boots, simplifying the power-up sequence for deeply discharged devices.
