MCU brings USB-C power to embedded devices


Infineon’s EZ-PD PMG1-B2 MCU integrates a single-port USB Type-C PD controller with a 55-V buck-boost controller for charging 2- to 12-cell Li-ion battery packs. Compliant with the latest USB Type-C and PD specifications, the device accepts an input voltage range of 4.5 V to 55 V with switching frequencies programmable from 200 kHz to 700 kHz.

The MCU targets USB-C-powered embedded devices in consumer, industrial, and communications markets, where devices make use of its integrated functions. Typical applications include cordless power and gardening tools, vacuum cleaners, kitchen appliances, e-bikes, drones, and robots.

The EZ-PD PMG1-B2 features a 32-bit Arm Cortex-M0 processor with 128 KB of flash and 8 KB of SRAM for customizable embedded applications. It integrates analog and digital peripherals—including ADCs, PWMs, UART/I2C/SPI interfaces, and timers—reducing PCB space and BOM. A comprehensive SDK and software suite simplify development and system design.
