Supports integration of various applications without separate architecture changes

ON Semiconductor has unveiled a new USB Type-C product family that fully complies with the latest DisplayPort 1.3 standard.

This new product family, designed to help engineers easily and quickly integrate into USB-C systems without architectural changes, includes a switch and two controllers targeting smartphones, tablets, and laptops, as well as industrial and automotive applications.

The FUSB303 port controller converts existing and new systems to a USB-C interface, supporting applications requiring Source (SRC), Sink (SNK), or Dual Role Port (DRP) modes. Furthermore, it provides high flexibility by supporting user-customizable options along with autonomous sensing capabilities, while requiring minimal processor processing and firmware support.

The FUSB303 is particularly suitable for mobile and ultra-portable applications as it supports best-in-class low-power performance. Power consumption in standby mode is less than 10μA, and it is available in an ultra-thin (1.6 x 1.6 x 0.375mm) QFN-12 package that is thinner than a standard CSP package, making it ideal for space-constrained designs.

The FSUSB242 is a USB-C compatible port protection switch that provides high voltage and surge protection. This switch can multiplex two USB sources to a common DP/DM pin while maintaining signal integrity as required by the standard. In addition, it is equipped with HV protection and provides IEC 64000-4-5 compliant surge protection of up to ±20 volts without using an external TVS.

In addition, it is suitable for mobile applications due to features such as low power consumption, board space savings through the WLCSP-9 package, and the elimination of the need for an external TVS.

The FUSB302BV is a USB-C controller specifically designed for power supply solutions within automotive systems. Unlike other solutions applicable only to consumer electronics, the FUSB302BV has obtained AEC-Q100 certification, a reliability testing standard for automotive semiconductors. Furthermore, it supports sensing functions including connection and orientation, making it one of the most efficient and flexible products available. Unlike other solutions, the FUSB302BV communicates via an I2C interface and does not contain a microprocessor, thereby meeting automotive requirements such as minimized energy consumption and low self-heating.

Julie Stultz, Product Marketing Manager at ON Semiconductor, explained, “The newly unveiled product family expands ON Semiconductor’s USB-C product lineup and includes industry-leading devices that enable engineers to easily and quickly integrate into 1.3-compliant solutions. In line with our mission to provide energy-efficient solutions to the market, we have successfully implemented high performance and low power consumption features in all three products. The FUSB303 port controller and FSUSB242 switch are ultra-compact products ideal for mobile or ultra-portable applications. Additionally, the AEC-Q100 certified FUSB302BV represents a significant advancement in automotive USB solutions.”
