EZ-PD Barrel Connector Replacement USB-C controller
Summary
The recently published Revised Radio Equipment Directive from the European Commission proposes to standardise charging ports for most electronic devices with an aim to reduce e-waste from retied, incompatible chargers. “Our end-to-end solution in the USB-C charging domain provides the best performance, the highest system reliability and also meets contemporary ecological requirements: it is energy efficient and aims to reduce e-waste. Our power semiconductor portfolio includes discrete and integrated state-of-the-art silicon and next-generation gallium nitride products which can cover any design requirements our customers may have." It offers higher levels of convenience to consumer by being agnostic to connector types or product manufacturers when selecting a charger. EZ-PD BCR minimises BOM (bill of material) cost for the USB-C power-sink system and it guarantees USB-C specification compliance and interoperability through USB-IF certification.
