Product overview

Description

The USB Type-C™ is the newest USB connector ecosystem, which addresses the evolving needs of platforms and devices, while retaining the functional benefits of USB.

X-CUBE-USB-PD is a USB-IF certified Expansion Package. It consists of libraries, drivers, sources, APIs and application examples running on any STM32 32-bit microcontrollers acting as USB Type-C™ port managers (TCPMs) and controlling third party Type-C™ port controllers (TCPCs).

An example is provided to help to develop applications based on USB-PD.

The ‘Core’ of the stack is delivered in a library format, while the ‘TCPC Component’ part in open-source format offers a high level of flexibility to match the design considerations.

This Expansion Package supports various hardware implementations covering most of the typical USB Type-C™ use-cases at optimized cost.
