Cypress Semiconductor has announced a complete set of chip and software solutions for USB Type-C to HDMI / DVI / VGA adapter dongle. The USB Type-C to HDMI / DVI / VGA adapter solution based on EZ-PD CCG1 can realize the connection between the USB Type-C socket and the HDMI / DVI / VGA plug, so that the emerging USB Type-C notebook can HDMI / DVI / VGA display.
In addition, Cypress has further expanded support for USB-Type C design through the new CY4501 CCG1 Development Kit (DVK), allowing designers to add USB-C to any system.
Cypress's USB Type-C to HDMI / DVI / VGA solution includes USB Billboard functionality, which allows the adapter to communicate status to hosts that do not support DisplayPort (DP). This solution uses Cypress's EZ-PD CCG1 (CYPD1120) USB Type-C port controller to support DP as one of its alternate modes, and Cypress's USB Billboard controller (CY7C65210) supports the USB Billboard device class , And MegaChips DP to HDMI / DVI / VGA protocol conversion chip. Cypress said that in USB-PD interoperability activities, Cypress has proved that its USB type C to HDMI solution with power supply (PD) can be used with Apple MacBook, Google Chromebook Pixel and multiple other systems. Interoperability.
Ganesh Subramaniam, senior director of the USB product line, said: "With the rapid adoption of USB Type-C, the market is looking for a quick way to introduce USB Type-C connections into products, as well as adapter dongles that can connect to older products." Russ. Cypress ’s CY4501 CCG1 Development Kit demonstrates the ability of our EZ-PD CCG1 controller as a total USB Type-C solution by encapsulating the host, client and cable board in a kit, achieving unparalleled ease of use Usability. Similarly, we designed a complete USB Type-C to HDMI / DVI / VGA adapter solution based on EZ-PD CCG1 to help customers quickly bring their dongle to market. "
Designers can pre-order the new CY4501 CCG1 DVK online from the Cypress store. The kit is based on Cypress ’s EZ-PD CCG1 USB Type-C port controller and can be used as a platform to evaluate several functions of USB Type-C, And provide USB SuperSpeed, DisplayPort and Power Delivery design examples and demonstrations. CY4501 CCG1 DVK includes a CCG1 motherboard that emulates a tablet or laptop computer, a CCG1 client board that emulates a display or docking port, and an emulation of a USB Type-C cable. CCG1 Electronic Marking Cable Assembly (EMCA) board. The
USB Type-C standard has achieved a top PC by achieving a slim industrial design, easy-to-use connectors and cables, the ability to transmit multiple protocols, and the ability to transmit 100W power (PD) Quick support from the manufacturer. The previous 7.5W standard. The 2.4mm high connector plug of the USB Type-C standard is significantly smaller than the current 4.5mm USB Type-A standard connector. It also allows the transmission of USB signals and PCIe or DP signal. The CCG1 product video is available on the company ’s website, which demonstrates the transmission of DisplayPort signals over a USB Type-C connection.
