Managing USB-C Connections & Power Negotiation

Data communication and power delivery via USB Type-C connectors in USB 3.x and later specifications require dedicated interface management to establish and maintain a compliant connection.

Renesas USB Type-C Port Controllers (TCPC) and Port Managers (TCPM) makes up the USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) controller to manage functions such as CC detection, cable orientation, role negotiation, USB-PD, and alternate mode support. Together, they enable intelligent USB-C connector management across single- and multiport systems.
