STUSB4710AQTR Integrated Circuits (ICs)

STUSB4710AQTR is an interface controller designed by STMicroelectronics for connecting USB Type-C ports with internal systems. It provides a versatile way of bridging the system side with the USB Type-C port with minimal external components. The device is the ideal solution for applications supporting USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery such as battery charging, USB data switching, and USB audio accessories.

The STUSB4710AQTR has a System Manager Controller that supports all USB Type-C features and implements the USB Type-C Power Delivery Specification 3.0. The controller also includes an integrated USB Charger Detection block that can detect up to four different types of USB Type-C chargers. Furthermore, the System Manager Controller offers robust EMC compatibility and is tested to withstand extreme transient conditions. Other features include an 8-bit GPIO port, two PWM controllers, an integrated NVM capable of storing up to 10 different profiles or settings, and an integrated unidirectional level-shifter.

On the power delivery side, the STUSB4710AQTR supports Power Delivery 3.0 profiles with up to 60 Watts of power delivery. It can be configured to control the system side power supply providing optimal power management to the system and USB Type-C port. Furthermore, the integrated dedicated charge and discharge FETs provide low power losses and allow for fast device start-up and charging. The controller also supports reversible and interchangeable connectors, allowing for either end of the cable to be used as the source and sink.

In addition to the Power Delivery features, the STUSB4710AQTR also provides an 8-bit GPIO port and two PWM controllers. The 8-bit GPIO port provides control over ports in systems and can be used to implement a variety of features such as ad-hoc switching, status indicators, alarms, monitoring, and more. The two PWM controllers can be used to control the brightness of backlighting elements or other peripheral devices. Finally, the integrated NVM stores up to 10 different device profiles or settings, providing flexibility and convenience for applications that require multiple operating modes.

Overall, the STUSB4710AQTR is a highly integrated and versatile interface controller that is ideal for applications supporting USB Type-C or USB Power Delivery. It provides robust EMC sensitivity to withstand harsh transient conditions, integrated control over USB Type C port power delivery, an 8-bit GPIO port, two PWM controllers, and an integrated NVM for storing up to 10 device profiles or settings.
