USB PD 3.1 High-Voltage Microcontroller With High Wattage Support

It ensures reliable performance and interoperability for consumer, industrial and communications applications

This microcontroller (MCU) with USB Power Delivery (USB PD) 3.1 support is built for high-voltages. The EZ-PD PMG1 (Power Delivery Microcontroller Gen1) by Infineon Technologies is a USB PD MCU for any embedded system that provides or consumes power with a high voltage of up to 28 V (140 W), ideal for consumer, industrial and communications applications such as smart speakers, routers, power and garden tools.

Ensuring reliable performance and interoperability, the PMGI features:

  •  Arm Cortex-M0/M0+ processor with up to 256 KB Flash memory and 32 KB SRAM
  • USB full-speed device
  • Programmable general purpose input/output (GPIO) pins
  • Gate drivers
  • Low drop out (LDO) regulators 
  • High-voltage protection circuits

The PMG1 MCU also provides hardware and firmware protection, including over-voltage and over-current protection, short circuit and reverse current protection, secure firmware boot and signed firmware update.

Programmable analogue and digital blocks easily customise and integrate intelligent analogue sensors into the application. The PMG1 MCU is also field programmable, allowing signed firmware updates for improved efficiency. Programming is supported by the integrated development environment (IDE) known as ModusToolbox with the PMG1 software development kit along with prototyping kits and a quick start guide, thus making firmware development and testing simple and easy, and reducing the overall development time and time-to-market.

The USB PD microcontroller family PMG 1 can be ordered now.
