About

USB-C high-voltage microcontrollers portfolio

EZ-PD™ PMG1 (Power Delivery Microcontroller Gen 1) is a portfolio of high-voltage microcontrollers (MCUs) with USB Power Delivery (PD). The EZ-PD™ PMG1 MCUs have a market-proven USB PD stack, ensuring spec compliance and interoperability. It is the only high-voltage, programmable USB Power Delivery solution on the market today with an integrated Arm® Cortex®-M0/M0 + up to 256 KB flash and 32 KB RAM, a USB full-speed device and analog, and digital peripherals.

EZ-PD™ PMG1 also integrates high-voltage circuits up to 28 V (such as regulators, FET gate drivers, and fault protection for overvoltage and overcurrent) to enable a robust and easy-to-use solution.

It is targeted to embedded systems that provide and consume power to and from a high-voltage USB-C PD port and leverage the microcontroller to provide additional configuration capability. It offers you a unified firmware view with an SDK supported in ModusToolbox™ software, enabling seamless migration between all EZ-PD™ PMG1 devices.

Why choose EZ-PD™ PMG1
  •  Area and BOM saving with the integration of USB PD MCUs with the necessary high-voltage protection circuits and gate drivers for a complete USB PD system solution
  •  EZ-PD™ PMG1 SDK on ModusToolbox™ software with plenty of code examples and varied support documentation to speed up the design cycle and reduce time to market
  •  Market-proven solution compatible with USB-IF and PD standards to minimize implementation risk
  •  Customizable solution to fit all applications 
  •  No in-depth knowledge of USB-C or programming required
  •  Suitable for commercial or industrial applications
ModusToolbox™ software environment

EZ-PD™ PMG1 offers a unified firmware view with an SDK supported in ModusToolbox™ software, enabling seamless migration between all the devices belonging to the portfolio. Provided as a collection of development tools, libraries, and embedded runtime assets, ModusToolbox™ software is architected to provide a flexible and comprehensive development experience.

EZ-PD™ PMG1 applications

A growing number of products in consumer, industrial, and communications segments are adopting USB-C ports to source power. Infineon offers dedicated solutions to integrate USB-C ports into customers' embedded applications. Typical use cases include smart speakers, cameras, headphones, game consoles, power tools, VR headsets and other portable electronics, and home appliances. As the leader in USB-C end-to-end solutions, Infineon also provides a comprehensive portfolio of solutions for USB-C chargers and power adapters.

Why move to USB Type-C

Over 10 billion USB ports will move to USB-C by 2025: mobiles, notebooks, and cars have already chosen this standard, and so will every common DC power source and sink up to 240 W in just a couple of years. The advantages of USB-C are several: plug orientation and cable direction agnostic, bidirectional power flow using USB PD and negotiable voltage, and power up to 240 W. Moreover, by adopting a universal connector, companies can avoid including proprietary chargers for their product, significantly reducing the production of e-waste and their costs at the same time.
