The first USB Type-C® Port Protector is launched
Hsinchu, Dec 10, 2021 -- Fortune Advanced Technology today launched its first-ever USB Type-C® Port Protectors
The Port Protector product series of Fortune Advanced Technology includes three products FA2207/FA2209/FA2211, which support 4-channel (CC1, CC2, SBU1, SBU2) overvoltage protection. For more information, please refer to "Home > Products > USB Type-C Solutions > Type-C Port Protectors".
Due to the extremely small size of the USB Type-C® connector, the CC1/CC2 and SBU1/SBU2 pins are located next to the VBUS pins, each pin is very close, and the minimum spacing is only 0.5mm. Therefore, mechanical twisting and sliding of the connector, moisture or debris, or poorly designed wires and equipment may cause a short circuit between the VBUS pin and the CC or SBU pin.
With the introduction of up to 100W USB Power Delivery (PD), the VBUS pin can now carry voltage levels up to 20V, and USB Type-C® allows the VBUS voltage to be increased to 20V through the Power Delivery protocol.
In addition, since the release of the USB Type-C® connector, many USB Type-C® products and accessories that do not comply with the USB Type-C® specification have been released. An example is USB Type-C® Power Delivery adapters that only provide 20V on the VBUS line.
This will cause a short circuit between the 20V VBUS pin and the CC or SBU pin, causing damage to the CC or SBU and related circuits. This non-ideal equipment and mechanical events make CC and SBU pins must be able to withstand 20V voltage, even if these pins can only work at 5V or lower.
Our FA2207/FA2209/FA2211 are single-chip USB Type-C® port protectors, which can respectively provide 30V/30V/30V short-to-VBUS overvoltage protection for the C_CC1, C_CC2, C_SBU1, and C_SBU2 pins on the connector side.
If the voltage is higher than the overvoltage threshold, the switch will be quickly opened, and the response time of the overvoltage protection can reach 70ns, then the CC1, CC2, SBU1, and SBU2 on the system side can be protected from high voltage.
In addition, FA2209/FA2211 also integrates the electrostatic discharge (ESD) discharge path of the D+/D- channel. According to the requirements of IEC61000-4-2 for electrostatic discharge protection, FA2209/FA2211 provide ±8KV electrostatic contact discharge and ±15KV electrostatic air discharge protection for Dx(D+/D-), C_CC1, C_CC2, C_SBU1, and C_SBU2 pins, without the need to place external high-voltage transient voltage suppressor (TVS) diodes on the connector side, which helps reduce costs.
Finally, FA2207/FA2209/FA2211's internal C_SBUx to SBUx MOSFET switches have a -3dB bandwidth of up to 1000MHz, providing an integrated solution for overvoltage protection and electrostatic protection without affecting the integrity of high-speed signals.
Package and availability
WLCSP 1.67x1.67-16L packaged FA2207 and QFN 3x3-20L packaged FA2209/FA2211 can be obtained through authorized distributors in January 2022. Full and custom quantity reels are available.
About Fortune Advanced Technology
Fortune Advanced Technology Co., Ltd. was established in 2013 focusing on high-voltage mixed-signal power management solutions. We dedicate to meeting the emerging requirements for lower power consumption at the standby stage.
We have successfully developed the first application-oriented PMIC for TV/Monitor TV/STB applications.
It is a digitally controlled multichannel PMIC capable of achieving total 0.15Watt standby power consumption under 230VAC for the whole TV system, which is at the forefront of the IC design industry. Based on this technology, we have successively developed diverse and competitive products widely used in LCD TV, motherboards/AIO, networked communication devices/STB, notebooks computers, and other fields.
We hope to grow into the best power partner to provide high-efficiency and cost-effective power solutions to our customers. Aware of the adverse effects of global warming, we will continue to strive for energy saving.
