Product details
Overview
CYPD3178-24LQXQT from Infineon is a pre-programmed USB Type-C sink port controller for barrel connector replacement in power-sink devices. It integrates CC transceiver with dead-battery RD, VBUS load switch controller (soft-start), OVP/UVP, VBUS-to-CC short protection, and I²C host processor interface. Supports 5 V @ 3 A sink operation and legacy charging protocols (BC1.2, Apple, AFC, QC 2.0) via D+/D–, targeting drones, smart speakers, and power tools.
For engineers reviewing the CYPD3178-24LQXQT datasheet, CYPD3178-24LQXQT pinout, CYPD3178-24LQXQT application, or CYPD3178-24LQXQT equivalent, key selection criteria include VBUS voltage range (3.0–24.5 V), integrated ESD protection (±8 kV contact), I²C slave address (0x08), SAFE_PWR_EN fallback behavior, and QFN-24 package compatibility with industrial temperature range (–40°C to +105°C).
Technical Context
The device implements a hardware-based USB Type-C sink stack with fixed firmware-no user programming required. Its USB PD subsystem includes dedicated analog blocks for CC line termination (bonded RD), VBUS overvoltage/undervoltage detection with HPI-configurable thresholds, and VBUS-to-CC short protection rated for 17 V continuous and 17–22 V for 1000 hours.
Power architecture supports dual supply inputs: VBUS_IN_DIS (3.0–24.5 V, 30 V tolerant) and VDDD (2.7–5.5 V). Internal regulation generates 3.3 V (VDDD) and 1.8 V (VCCD); gate drivers for external PFETs (VBUS_CTRL, SAFE_PWR_EN) feature slew-rate control and fault-aware enable logic tied to power contract negotiation status.

| 14 VBUS_IN_DIS | Main VBUS input | High-voltage input (3.0–24.5 V); powers internal regulator and enables VBUS monitoring and protection functions |
| 15 VDDD | Internal regulated supply | 3.3 V output from internal LDO; powers digital core and analog peripherals; used as reference for VBUS_MIN/MAX dividers |
| 16 VSS | Analog ground | Separate AGND return for precision analog blocks; recommended to tie to digital ground at single point |
| 17 DC_OUT_DIS | Discharge control output | Drives external discharge FET gate; activates upon source disconnect to drain VBUS capacitance |
| 18 CHARGING_MODE | Legacy protocol enable input | High = enable all legacy charging (AFC/QC/Apple); low = disable proprietary protocols, retain BC1.2 only |
| 19 VSS | Ground | Additional ground connection; improves noise immunity and thermal conduction via exposed pad |
| 20 VBUS_FET_EN | VBUS path enable control | Logic-level enable signal for external VBUS FET; synchronized with VBUS_CTRL timing and fault conditions |
| 21 VSS | Ground | Ground pin adjacent to sensitive analog inputs; minimizes coupling in high-noise environments |
| 22 NC | No connect | Internally unused; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout guidelines |
| 23 NC | No connect | Internally unused; must be left floating or tied to ground per layout guidelines |
| 24 VSS | Ground | Final ground pin; completes thermal and electrical connection to exposed pad |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB Type-C sink controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CYPD3177-24LQXQT | Same die, no D+/D– support; lacks legacy charging protocol detection | Restricted to pure USB-C PD sinks without Apple/QC/AFC requirements | Select when only standardized PD contracts are needed and legacy adapter compatibility is unnecessary |
| STUSB4500QTR | Standalone sink controller with no integrated D+/D– or legacy charging logic; requires external MCU for protocol handling | Demands host firmware development for BC1.2/AFC/QC; adds BOM and validation overhead | Choose only if full design flexibility and custom PD policy control are required over turnkey simplicity |
Compared with CYPD3177-24LQXQT, this part adds essential D+/D– hardware for legacy charging-critical for consumer device field compatibility. Versus STUSB4500QTR, it eliminates MCU dependency and firmware certification, reducing time-to-market by ~12 weeks for volume production.

FAQ
Is CYPD3178-24LQXQT programmable or field-configurable?
No. It is a pre-programmed, fixed-function USB Type-C sink controller. Configuration is limited to analog resistor dividers (VBUS_MIN/MAX) and digital inputs (CHARGING_MODE, FAULT). All PD policy, legacy charging state machines, and protection logic are hard-coded in silicon and cannot be modified.
Does it support USB Power Delivery communication beyond 5 V?
Yes-it negotiates USB PD contracts up to 20 V (within VBUS_MIN/MAX limits), but does not implement full USB PD messaging (e.g., no Source Capabilities exchange). It relies on hardware-based voltage window matching and responds only to Request messages that fall within its configured range.
What is the role of the SAFE_PWR_EN pin in system design?
SAFE_PWR_EN drives an external PFET to deliver 5 V to a secondary power rail when the primary PD contract fails. This allows partial system operation (e.g., MCU boot, status LED) even if the requested voltage (e.g., 12 V) is unavailable-provided CHARGING_MODE is asserted high to enable the fallback path.
Can it be used in a USB-C source application?
No. CYPD3178-24LQXQT is strictly a sink-only controller. It lacks source-side CC logic, Rp termination, VCONN generation, and source power path control. For source or DRP applications, Infineon's CYPD3125 or CYPD3171 families are required.
