Microchip announces new family of USB power delivery controllers

UPD100X features industry-standard power delivery and battery charging protocol, increasing
overall system performance capabilities
3 June 2014, New Deli !N"SD"#$ %&'() * Microchip Technology Inc., a leading provider of
microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions, today announced from Computex Taipei a new
family of !" power delivery #P$% controllers & the U(D100+ with an industry-standard power delivery and
'attery charging protocol. ( single !" ca'le can 'e used for data, and simultaneously can deliver up to )**+
of power from a single standard !" port which is ,* times the power compared to !" -.*. +ith up to )**+
of availa'le power, designers can dynamically allocate this power to fast 'attery charging and system power.

The P$)**) is the first of the family and is a highly flexi'le and configura'le solution that supports the
0 !"-IF standard P$ power profiles plus an additional -0 P$-compliant profiles for a total of 1* profiles
supported 'y a single chip. This will allow designers to select the optimum power profiles in order to meet their
specific application re2uirements. !imple configuration is achieved 'y strapping the two configuration select pins
on the P$)**). ( multitude of configurations are availa'le to provide utmost flexi'ility. Integrated 2uad-'an3s
of one-time programma'le memory allow for further system customi4ation without the need of any external
memory components.
The P$)**5 family serves a wide range of applications in the consumer #e.g., note'oo3s, printers and
accessories, doc3ing stations, mo'ile devices and 'attery chargers%, industrial #computers and handheld devices%
and automotive mar3ets #e.g., head units, 'rea3-out 'oxes and !" 'attery chargers%, among others.
6Today7s announcement of the P$)**5 family of products shows Microchip7s continued support of the
ever improving !" ecosystem,6 said Mitch 8'ols3y, vice president of Microchip7s !" and 9etwor3ing :roup.
6The a'ility to deliver )**+ of power, while transmitting !" data, creates a single ca'le of connectivity for all
consumer products. Microchip is pleased to 'e a leader in power delivery and is committed to improving the
consumer7s entire !" experience.6
