Cypress adds the EZ-PD CCG3 to its EZ-PD family of USB Type-C and USB-Power Delivery controllers. The EZ-PD products allow power delivery of a wide range of devices. The CCG3 is a highly integrated USB Type-C controller, that complies with all the latest Power Delivery and USB Type-C standards. Some of the devices the CCG3 can offer power delivery port control to are, notebooks, dongles, docking stations, power adapters, and monitors.
The Cypress proprietary M0S8 technology is the basis for the devices, with a 32-bit, 48MHz ARM Cortex-M0 processor, with 128KB flash, 8-KB SRAM, GPIOs, a Crypto engine, 20V-tolerant regulator, full-speed USB device controller, and 2 FETs to switch a 5V (VCONN) supply, to power cables.

EZ-PD Configuration Utility is a GUI-based Microsoft Windows application developed by Cypress to guide the CCGx user through the configuration process and th programming of the chip.
Users can
- Select and configure the parameters they want to modify
- Program the configuration they set onto the target CCGx device
Support for other applications such as Power adapters and Notebook port controllers will be provided in later versions of the utility.
