Product details
Overview
CYUSB4357-BZXC from Infineon Technologies (formerly Cypress) is a USB 3.1 Gen 2 Type-C hub with integrated Power Delivery 3.0 controllers, Arm® Cortex®-M0 CPU subsystem, Dock Management Controller, and hardware crypto block. It delivers 10 Gbps SuperSpeed+ on five downstream ports, supports DRP/DFP PD roles on upstream and one downstream port, and enables Ghost Charge™ for charging without upstream connection - deployed in multi-port docking stations for notebook PCs.
For engineers reviewing the CYUSB4357-BZXC datasheet, CYUSB4357-BZXC pinout, CYUSB4357-BZXC application, or CYUSB4357-BZXC equivalent, key selection criteria include its 7-port topology (5× SS Gen 2 + 2× HS), signed firmware update capability via DMC, integrated Type-C transceivers with RP/RD termination, and 192-ball BGA package with 0.8-mm pitch.
Technical Context
The CYUSB4357-BZXC integrates two independent hub controllers: a USB 3.1 Gen 2 (10 Gbps) controller supporting PTM, U0–U3 link power states, and store-and-forward packet routing; and a USB 2.0 hub controller with seven transaction translators (Multi-TT), L0–L3 power management, and full suspend/resume/wake signaling.
Its dual USB-PD 3.0 controllers implement BMC/4b5b encoding over CC lines, programmable current-source RP (for DFP role) and RD (for UFP role), dead-battery termination detection, and chunked Extended Message handling for backward compatibility with PD 2.0 systems - all managed by a dedicated Cortex-M0 MCU with SWD debug interface and Wakeup Interrupt Controller.

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Type-C port controller and USB hub managing display data path isolation, USB enumeration, and billboard descriptor reporting. Use Value: Supports USB Billboard Class for real-time error reporting (e.g., "Dock not connected" or "Firmware update required") via HID interface. | Use Scenario: Shared desk charger in office environments delivering up to 100 W PD to laptops while powering USB peripherals. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-role PD controller enforcing power contracts, monitoring OCP/OVP, and enabling Ghost Charge™ for peripheral-only operation. Use Value: Maintains 5 V/3 A output to downstream devices during laptop sleep or battery depletion - no auxiliary power supply needed. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB-C PD hub applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| CYUSB4347-BZXC | Lacks hardware RSA-2048 engine; unsigned firmware only; no signed FW download support | Suitable for cost-sensitive docks where firmware trust chain is not mandated | Select when security certification (e.g., FIDO, Windows Secured-Core) is not required |
| TUSB8041AIZAYR | No integrated PD controller; requires external TUSB546 or CCGx for Type-C/PD; separate I²C-configurable hub | Requires additional ICs for full PD/Type-C functionality - higher BOM and layout complexity | Select when leveraging existing TI ecosystem or needing pin-to-pin compatibility with legacy TUSB804x designs |
Compared with CYUSB4347-BZXC, CYUSB4357-BZXC adds RSA-2048 signing and secure boot enforcement; versus TUSB8041AIZAYR, it eliminates external PD controllers and reduces component count by 3–4 ICs while enabling Ghost Charge™ and unified firmware management.

FAQ
What USB Power Delivery features does CYUSB4357-BZXC support?
CYUSB4357-BZXC implements full USB PD 3.0 compliance including Extended Messages (up to 260 bytes), chunking for PD 2.0 interoperability, programmable RP current sourcing (1.5/3.0/5.0 A), RD-based UFP detection, and dead-battery termination. It supports DRP on the upstream port and DFP on one downstream port, enabling bidirectional power negotiation and Ghost Charge™ operation.
How is firmware updated on CYUSB4357-BZXC?
Firmware updates occur via the Dock Management Controller using either unsigned (SHA-256 hash verification) or signed (RSA-2048/SHA-256) methods. The host sends metadata and firmware images over USB or I²C; DMC validates signatures/hashes, writes to internal flash, and reports status. Signed updates require pre-provisioned public keys and are enforced by the hardware crypto block.
Does CYUSB4357-BZXC support USB Billboard Class?
Yes - CYUSB4357-BZXC integrates a full-speed USB 2.0 device controller configured as a USB Billboard Device Class. It reports real-time dock status (e.g., "No upstream connection", "Firmware update pending", "OCP triggered") using standardized HID descriptors, visible in OS system trays without custom drivers.
What is the function of the SWDIO/SWDCLK pins on CYUSB4357-BZXC?
SWDIO and SWDCLK provide a two-wire Serial Wire Debug interface compliant with ARM CoreSight standards. These pins enable low-overhead debugging and programming of the embedded Cortex-M0 CPU - used for firmware development, silicon validation, and field failure analysis without requiring JTAG header space or additional debug probes.
