ANX7327

ANX7327 is a USB-PD v3.0 port controller with an integrated de-mux that supports switching at data rates of up to 10Gbps. ANX7327 supports high-speed interfaces, such as USB 3.1 (Gen 1 – 5Gbps, Gen 2 – 10Gbps) and DisplayPort™ (DP) 1.4 at up to HBR3 (8.1Gbps). ANX7327 is designed to be placed behind a USB Type-C (USB-C™) receptacle of a USB-C accessory or HDTV or monitor USB-C port. The USB-C port with the embedded IC device behind it enables a passive USB-C cable connectivity between any USB-C source and the accessory or HDTV or monitor to further the USB-C functions to a display or data connectivity downstream. On the source side, when paired with a re-timer mux such as the ANX7440, the ANX7327/7440 combo solution can enable a USB-C full function port with CPUs that have integrated USB-C mux. An On-chip Microcontroller (OCM) is available to manage the signal switching, Channel Configuration (CC) detection, USB Power Delivery (USB-PD) charging and Vendor Defined Message (VDM) protocol, and other functions, as defined in the USB Type-C v1.2 and USB Power Delivery v3.0 specifications. ANX7327 can be configured for an Upstream Facing Port (UFP) to support a USB-C receptacle. When paired with a DP-to-HDMI/VGA bridge (such as the ANX7737/9837), the ANX7327 creates an ideal solution for USB Type-C dongle, docking, HDTV, and monitor applications.
