Moving to USB-C with Infineon´s EZ-PD™ family
Consumer, industrial, communications applications adopt USB-C ports to source power
Target Applications:
Thanks to the high voltage supported, many particularly industrial applications – such as the ones listed below - can benefit from USB-C PD.
- motor control
- vacuum cleaners
- service and (portable) industrial robots
- cobots
- test and measurement systems
- power tools
- cameras
Infineon’s EZ-PD™ portfolio includes two different families of USB-C PD solutions to help you easily integrate USB-C into your embedded application:
EZ-PD™ BCR
Barrel Connector Replacement
Plug&play solution:
- no firmware development
- no USB-C / PD expert knowledge
- no invasive changes to existing designs
Easily replace an old barrel connector or legacy USB connector with a USB-C charging port controller.

EZ-PD™ PMG1
Power Delivery Microcontroller Gen 1
Single-chip solution:
- USB-C port controller + HV MCU
- High-voltage, programmable USB PD solution
- Not compromising control features and adding extra functions to your device

SECTION 1 - EZ-PD™ BCR
Highly-integrated, pre-programmed USB Type-C charging port controller
Develop a robust USB-C powered system without expert knowledge of the USB-C and Power Delivery standards. No firmware development required.
EZ-PD™ BCR targets all electronic devices with legacy barrel connectors up to 100 W or USB micro-B connectors. It easily adds USB-C power consumer capability to a device, allowing it to be powered by any USB-C power source including:
- USB-C chargers
- power adapters
- power banks
- in-wall or in-car charging ports
EZ-PD™ BCR is compliant with the latest USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery standards. It allows designers to quickly convert their devices’ power input from a barrel connector to a USB-C connector without invasive changes to their existing designs. It contains a market-proven, fully-automated USB Power Delivery policy manager that interoperates with virtually any USB-C power source. To safeguard against system-level fault conditions, EZ-PD™ BCR controllers integrate various protection circuitries including:
- VBus-to-CC short
- Overvoltage
- Overcurrent
- ESD
