Referencedesigns letter vejen for USB Type-C løsninger

Lattice Semiconductor simplificerer implementeringen af USB Type-C i konsumerprodukter og industrielle devices (in english).

Lattice Semiconductor has announced three new, freely-downloadable reference designs that enable designers working in consumer, industrial and other sectors to quickly implement the cable detect and power delivery functions required to unlock the new capabilities of Type-C including 100W power, 20Gbps bandwidth, reversibility and flexibility.

- Leaders in this market will launch USB Type-C products by the middle of this year. We are providing ready-to-use, low power, miniature, cost-effective solutions that slash time-to-market and mitigate development risk, says Gordon Hands, Director New Initiatives at Lattice. 

The three solutions offered by Lattice address both Cable Detect (CD) and Power Delivery (PD) functions and deliver:
• CD/PD targeting chargers
• CD/PD for devices such as laptops, docks, dongles hand-held industrial
• CD/PD-Phy for devices such as smart phones and tablets

The downloadable reference designs include: Schematic; BOM; Pin-list; Bitstream; and Code to allow Policy Engine customization. The designs are based on Lattice’s iCE40 ultra-low power, miniature and low cost FPGA families.

The three new USB Type C solutions can be freely-downloaded here.
