Product details
Overview
CYPD4236-40LQXQT from Infineon is a dual-port USB Type-C and Power Delivery 3.0 port controller featuring a 48-MHz Arm® Cortex®-M0 CPU, 128 KB flash, two integrated BMC transceivers, ±8-kV CC-pin ESD protection, and integrated VCONN FETs - deployed in notebook host ports, USB-C power adapters, and docking stations for full PD role negotiation and cable management.
For engineers reviewing the CYPD4236-40LQXQT datasheet, CYPD4236-40LQXQT pinout, CYPD4236-40LQXQT application, or CYPD4236-40LQXQT equivalent, this device delivers verified dual-port PD 3.0 control with fast role swap, dead-battery termination, and industrial-grade thermal operation (–40°C to +105°C) in a 40-pin QFN package.
Technical Context
The CYPD4236-40LQXQT implements two independent USB-PD Baseband PHY/MAC subsystems with integrated RP/RD termination and BMC encoding/decoding logic, enabling simultaneous source/sink negotiation on both ports. Its Cortex-M0 core executes PD protocol stack firmware with deterministic timing via four TCPWM blocks and four reconfigurable SCBs supporting I²C/SPI/UART.
It integrates dual VCONN FETs per port (four total), internal IMO eliminating external crystal dependency, and system-level ESD protection on CC pins meeting IEC61000-4-2 Level 4C - all operating from a single 2.7–5.5 V supply with GPIOs supporting 1.71–5.5 V signaling.

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| CYPD4226-40LQXIT | Same die, 33-ball CSP package - smaller footprint but no exposed thermal pad; lower thermal dissipation | Limited to space-constrained adapters without high-power thermal cycling | Select only when board area < 6 mm² is critical and peak power < 30 W |
| TPS65988DHAR | Texas Instruments part with integrated buck-boost converter; no MCU subsystem - relies on external host processor | Requires companion MCU for full PD 3.0 stack; not self-contained | Choose only if system already includes capable host processor and needs integrated power conversion |
Compared with CYPD4226-40LQXIT, the CYPD4236-40LQXQT offers superior thermal performance and debug accessibility in QFN; versus TPS65988DHAR, it provides autonomous PD control without host dependency - critical for cost-sensitive, standalone adapter designs.

FAQ
Does CYPD4236-40LQXQT support USB Power Delivery 3.0 Extended Messages?
Yes, the CYPD4236-40LQXQT fully supports USB PD 3.0 Extended Message Protocol including Vendor Defined Messages (VDMs), Status, Alert, Battery Status, and Firmware Update commands. This capability is implemented in hardware BMC transceivers and executed by the on-chip Cortex-M0 firmware stack - no external processor required.
What is the maximum continuous current rating for the integrated VCONN FETs?
The integrated VCONN FETs on CYPD4236-40LQXQT are rated for 200 mA continuous current per channel (VCONN1/VCONN2), with thermal derating above 70°C ambient. Each FET has RDS(on) ≤ 0.5 Ω at VGS = 4.5 V, enabling direct EMCA cable power without external boost circuitry.
Can CYPD4236-40LQXQT operate without an external crystal?
Yes - the device integrates a factory-trimmed internal main oscillator (IMO) running at 48 MHz with ±2% accuracy across temperature and voltage, eliminating need for external crystal or clock source. An optional external 24–48 MHz crystal may be used for tighter timing tolerance in precision applications.
Is the 40-pin QFN package lead-free and RoHS-compliant?
Yes, the CYPD4236-40LQXQT in 40-pin QFN packaging is fully RoHS-compliant and lead-free per EU Directive 2011/65/EU, with matte tin (Sn) finish on all leads and JEDEC-standard moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 3 rating at 260°C reflow peak.
