Infineon Technologies CY4500 EZ-PD™ Protocol Analyzer
Infineon Technologies CY4500 EZ-PD™ Protocol Analyzer records the USB Power Delivery protocol traffic (USB-PD) on the Configuration Channel (CC) of a USB Type-C™ connector. This signal is used to negotiate the power provided on the connector and Alternate Modes and Accessory Modes. The CY4500 EZ-PD Protocol Analyzer connects in-line between two Type-C products and acts as a pass-through for VBUS, VCONN, USB 3.1, USB 2.0, and USB-PD traffic. While connected, it does not disturb any of the signals. This feature enables the capture of PD negotiation for power, USB data roles, DisplayPort, or other Type-C Alternate Modes. The included Windows-based EZ-PD Analyzer Utility provides developers with an easy-to-use GUI to decode the USB-PD messages.
The Infineon Technologies CY4500 is powered by a USB Micro-B port, which provides 4V/500mA. It also features a LED to indicate power status. Connector headers are brought out for the GPIOs, CC lines, VBUS, and SBU lines from the USB-PD system.
Features
- Simple GUI for decoding USB Power Delivery packets in real-time on the CC lines
- VBUS voltage and current monitoring
- Message ID-based triggering
- Debug headers for CC, VBUS, and SBU
