Product details
Overview
CYPD2120-20FNXIT from Infineon is a USB Type-C port controller IC implementing full USB Power Delivery 3.0 protocol stack, featuring a 48-MHz Arm® Cortex®-M0 CPU, 32-KB flash, integrated Type-C transceiver with RP/RD/RA termination resistors, and dual VCONN rails - deployed in USB-C EMCA cables and upstream-facing notebook ports.
For engineers reviewing the CYPD2120-20FNXIT datasheet, CYPD2120-20FNXIT pinout, CYPD2120-20FNXIT application, or CYPD2120-20FNXIT equivalent, key selection criteria include CC line BMC decoding latency, VCONN current capability (±150 mA), deep-sleep current (2.5 µA), industrial temperature range (–40°C to +105°C), and QFN-24 package compatibility with USB-C port layout constraints.
Technical Context
The CYPD2120-20FNXIT implements a dedicated USB PD subsystem with baseband PHY supporting BMC encoding/decoding and 4b/5b conversion, coupled with hardware-accelerated PD protocol state machines for role detection (DFP/UFP/DRP), VCONN switching, and cable discovery. Its CC I/O subsystem includes programmable current sources and ESD-hardened inputs rated for ±8-kV contact discharge.
It integrates two reconfigurable Serial Communication Blocks (SCB) supporting runtime-switchable I²C/SPI/UART modes, an 8-bit SAR ADC for voltage monitoring, six TCPWM channels for GPIO timing control, and a power management unit enabling three low-power states: Reset (1.0 µA), Deep Sleep (2.5 µA), and Sleep (2.0 mA).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | Arm® Cortex®-M0, 48 MHz - enables real-time PD policy engine execution with <100 µs CC line response latency |
| Flash Memory | 32 KB - stores full USB PD 3.0 firmware plus vendor-defined descriptors and custom policy rules |
| SRAM | 4 KB - buffers BMC-decoded PD messages and maintains dynamic port state during negotiation |
| Operating Voltage | 2.7 V to 5.5 V - supports direct connection to VBUS or auxiliary 3.3-V rail without LDO |
| VCONN Supply | Dual independent rails, ±150 mA each - powers active cable electronics or EMCA accessories without external boosters |
| ESD Rating | ±8 kV contact / ±15 kV air gap (IEC61000-4-2 Level 4C) - protects CC pins against field-induced transients in portable systems |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +105°C - qualified for notebook docking stations and industrial USB-C hubs |
Pinout & Package
Package: 4.0 mm × 4.0 mm, 0.55 mm pitch, 24-pin QFN (wettable flank). Exposed thermal pad enhances thermal dissipation in high-density USB-C port layouts.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB Type-C port controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CYPD3171-24LQXIT | USB PD 3.0 + PPS support; 64-KB flash; integrated buck converter for VCONN | Targeted at higher-power adapters and chargers requiring programmable voltage regulation | Select when VCONN regulation must be self-contained and PPS negotiation is mandatory |
| STUSB4500QTR | USB PD 2.0 only; no embedded MCU; fixed-function state machine; 20-pin TSSOP | Suitable for cost-sensitive, single-role (DFP-only) applications like wall adapters | Select when firmware customization is unnecessary and BOM simplicity outweighs protocol flexibility |
Compared with CYPD3171-24LQXIT and STUSB4500QTR, the CYPD2120-20FNXIT balances protocol agility (full PD 3.0 stack), firmware programmability, and compact QFN-24 footprint - making it optimal for space-constrained, multi-role USB-C endpoints where field-upgradable behavior is required.

FAQ
What firmware development tools are supported for CYPD2120-20FNXIT?
Infineon provides the EZ-PD™ Configuration Utility (Windows GUI) for non-invasive configuration and firmware updates over I²C or CC lines. Full SDK support includes ModusToolbox™ with example projects for EMCA cable, DFP, and UFP roles. Debugging uses standard SWD with OpenOCD or Segger J-Link.
Does CYPD2120-20FNXIT support USB PD 3.0 Fast Role Swap?
Yes - the hardware-accelerated PD subsystem and dual VCONN rails enable sub-100 ms Fast Role Swap (FRS) in both directions. FRS messaging is handled autonomously by the dedicated PD state machine without CPU intervention, meeting USB-IF certification requirements for responsive role transitions.
Can the GPIO pins be used for analog sensing?
Yes - 12 GPIO pins are multiplexed with an 8-bit SAR ADC, supporting up to 1 MSPS sampling. Dedicated analog input channels allow real-time monitoring of VBUS, VCONN, or external thermistors without external ADCs, with configurable reference voltage (internal 1.2 V or external).
Is external crystal required for USB PD timing compliance?
No - the device integrates a factory-trimmed internal main oscillator (IMO) operating at 48 MHz with ±2% accuracy over temperature and voltage, fully satisfying USB PD BMC timing jitter requirements. No external clock components are needed for certified operation.
