Product details
Overview
CYPD2120-24LQXI 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, and dual VCONN rails - deployed in notebook upstream ports, EMCA cables, and powered accessories requiring autonomous role negotiation and firmware-updatable PD policy.
For engineers reviewing the CYPD2120-24LQXI datasheet, CYPD2120-24LQXI pinout, CYPD2120-24LQXI application, or CYPD2120-24LQXI equivalent, this device delivers verified CC-line BMC decoding, runtime-reconfigurable SCB (I²C/SPI/UART), ±8-kV IEC61000-4-2 ESD on CC/VCONN, deep-sleep current of 2.5 µA, and industrial temperature support up to +105°C - critical for robust USB-C port control in space-constrained, thermally demanding designs.
Technical Context
The CYPD2120-24LQXI implements a dedicated USB-PD subsystem with baseband PHY handling BMC modulation/demodulation and 4b/5b encoding, coupled to a hardware-accelerated protocol engine that executes PD state machines without CPU intervention. Its dual VCONN rails provide independent 5-V power switching for cable electronics, with integrated isolation preventing cross-rail fault propagation.
It integrates a programmable I/O matrix supporting 12 GPIOs, two overvoltage-tolerant (OVT) pins for CC line sensing, and a 8-bit SAR ADC for auxiliary voltage monitoring - all synchronized via AHB-Lite bus to the Cortex-M0 core running at 48 MHz with 32-KB flash and 4-KB SRAM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| CPU Core | Arm® Cortex®-M0 @ 48 MHz - enables deterministic PD timing response and Thumb-2 binary compatibility with higher-tier CCGx devices. |
| Flash Memory | 32 KB - sufficient for full USB PD 3.0 policy engine, Type-C state machine, and vendor-defined firmware extensions. |
| SRAM | 4 KB - supports concurrent USB PD messaging buffers, GPIO configuration tables, and runtime variable storage. |
| Type-C Transceiver | Integrated baseband PHY with RP/RD/RA resistors - eliminates external termination components and reduces BOM count by ≥4 passive parts. |
| VCONN Support | Dual independent 5-V rails with internal isolation - allows simultaneous powering of asymmetric cable electronics (e.g., active EMCA with separate logic/analog sections). |
| ESD Rating | ±8-kV contact / ±15-kV air-gap (IEC61000-4-2 Level 4C) on CC and VCONN pins - meets end-equipment surge immunity requirements without external TVS diodes. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +105°C - validated for use in notebook adapter ports and automotive-infotainment USB-C hubs where ambient heat exceeds 85°C. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 4.0 mm × 4.0 mm, 24-pin QFN (0.55-mm pitch), wettable flank, RoHS-compliant, thermal pad exposed on underside for PCB heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VDDIO | I/O supply rail | Independent 1.71–5.5-V input enabling mixed-voltage signaling (e.g., 3.3-V MCU interface + 5-V VCONN control). |
| VCONN1 / VCONN2 | Dual VCONN power outputs | Each drives up to 1-W load at 5 V; internally isolated to prevent fault coupling between cable-side circuits. |
| CC1 / CC2 | Configuration Channel I/O | OVT-capable pins with integrated BMC transceiver - handle plug orientation detection, role negotiation, and PD message exchange without external level shifters. |
| XRES | Active-low reset input | Asynchronous reset pin with 1.0-µA deep-sleep leakage - supports system-level power sequencing and brownout recovery. |
| SWDIO / SWCLK | Serial Wire Debug interface | 2-pin JTAG-compatible debug path - enables in-system firmware update and real-time trace during development and field reprogramming. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Runtime-reconfigurable SCB | Single serial block dynamically switchable between I²C, SPI, or UART - reduces pin count while supporting multiple host interfaces (e.g., I²C to MCU, UART to debug console). |
| Integrated IMO | Factory-trimmed internal main oscillator - eliminates need for external crystal or clock source, saving 2–3 mm² PCB area and reducing startup time by >10 ms. |
| Deep Sleep Mode | 2.5-µA quiescent current with VCONN monitoring active - extends battery life in portable accessories during cable disconnect states. |
| GPIO Flexibility | 12 programmable I/Os with configurable pull-up/down, drive strength, and interrupt capability - supports custom status LEDs, button inputs, and analog sensing via shared ADC channel. |
Applications

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CYPD3171-24LQXQ | USB PD 3.0 + PPS support, 64-KB flash, dual-role port (DRP) capable, includes hardware PD message buffer. | Required for programmable power supply (PPS) compliance and bidirectional power negotiation in chargers. | Select when PPS, higher flash margin, or DRP operation is mandatory - not drop-in due to different firmware API and pin mapping. |
| STUSB4500QTR | Dedicated PD controller (no MCU), fixed-function silicon, 16-KB ROM, no flash reprogrammability. | Suitable for cost-sensitive, single-role applications (e.g., fixed-source adapters) with no firmware customization needs. | Choose for lowest BOM cost and guaranteed timing in static PD roles - lacks GPIO flexibility, SCB reconfiguration, and firmware update capability. |
Compared with CYPD3171-24LQXQ and STUSB4500QTR, the CYPD2120-24LQXI balances firmware agility and integration density - offering sufficient flash for custom policy engines while retaining compact QFN packaging and dual-VCONN support unmatched by fixed-function alternatives.

FAQ
Does CYPD2120-24LQXI support USB Power Delivery 3.0 with Programmable Power Supply (PPS)?
No. The CYPD2120-24LQXI implements USB PD 3.0 specification but excludes PPS functionality. It supports Fixed Voltage (5/9/15/20 V) and Variable Voltage (3.3–21 V) contracts only. PPS requires hardware enhancements present in later-generation CCG3/CCG6 devices like CYPD3171 or CYPD6127.
Can CYPD2120-24LQXI operate as both a DFP and UFP simultaneously?
No. It supports single-role operation only - configured at boot as either Downstream Facing Port (DFP) or Upstream Facing Port (UFP). Dual-role (DRP) capability requires additional hardware resources and firmware architecture found in CCG3 and newer controllers.
What is the maximum supported VCONN load current per rail?
Each VCONN rail (VCONN1 and VCONN2) supports up to 1 W (200 mA at 5 V) continuous output. This is validated per Infineon's electrical specifications and sufficient for powering e-marker ICs, small retimers, and level shifters in USB-C cables and adapters.
Is an external crystal required for CYPD2120-24LQXI operation?
No. The device integrates a factory-trimmed Internal Main Oscillator (IMO) operating at 48 MHz, eliminating the need for external crystal or clock source. An external clock may be used optionally via CLKIN pin, but is not required for USB PD compliance or full functionality.
