Latest USB-C Charging Technology Completes Analogix’s Offering for Next Generation PCs and PC Accessories

Analogix Semiconductor, Inc. today announced the availability of its SlimPort^® ANX7447 family of single-chip USB Power Delivery (PD) version 3.0 port controllers with DisplayPort Alt Mode mux, enabling the latest USB-C™ charging technology for next generation notebooks, desktops, and 2-in-1 PCs.

Highly-integrated, the ultra-low power ANX7447 is designed as a companion to various CPUs and Application Processors (APs) and offers comprehensive functionality:

• Extended Messaging - enables faster PD firmware updates (PDFU) and provides an efficient exchange of security certificates;
• Fast Role Swap - allows a PC accessory to change modes from sourcing to sinking power quickly, preventing data corruption during an unforeseen power source disconnect;
• Native USB-C port controller interface (TCPCI) for ease of integration with the existing USB-C port manager (TCPM);
• Support for Intel’s Direct Connect Interface (DCI) Closed Chassis Debug;
• Support for high-speed interfaces, such as USB 3.1 up to Gen 2 10Gbps and DisplayPort™ 1.4 at up to HBR3 8.1Gbps.

“ANX7447 family enables the powerful new PD 3.0 features which provide the functionality and flexibility needed in best-in-class notebooks,” said Andre Bouwer, vice president of marketing for Analogix. “These, together with Analogix’s 10G re-timing switch and other products, give Analogix the most advanced portfolio for USB-C enablement.”

ANX7447 is being demonstrated at Computex 2017, Analogix exhibitor suite # 1140 & 1141 at The Grand Hyatt Taipei.
