Initially developed as a data interface, the ubiquitous and interoperable USB port has evolved to become the primary connector for charging mobile electronic devices. To further enhance the functionality of this port, the USB Type-C® standard enables a single cable to support USB 3.1 data transfer speeds, up to 100W of power for device charging and Alternative Modes (Alt Modes) for transmitting graphics and video signals.
Our flexible, cost-effective and low-risk USB-C solutions can be combined with our USB hubs and Embedded Controllers (ECs) to offer a complete Power Delivery (PD) solution for notebook and desktop computers, monitors, docking stations, smartphones, tablets, HDTVs, printers, point-of-sale terminals, automotive breakout boxes and other applications.

The EVB-UPD301A (SRC) Evaluation Kit is a complete, charge-only system implementation that features all the components needed to evaluate full power delivery operation of the UPD301A USB Type-C Power Delivery Controller. While the board supports up to two USB-C ports, the kit only includes a power supply daughter card for single-port operation. A second power supply card (EVB-UPD301A-PM-PD-HOT) is available separately if you would like to operate the device in two-port mode.
The UTC2000 Evaluation Kit allows you to evaluate the UTC2000 USB-C controller in either host (DFP) or device (UFP) modes. To test the different configurations and evaluate the different USB-C charging profiles, simply plug the USB Type-A dongle into any standard Type-A port and plug in the device (UFP) board using the included USB-C cable.
