Design IP
Overview

SmartDV’s USB Type-C IP is a silicon-proven solution designed to manage USB Type-C connector functionality, enabling reversible plug orientation, cable detection, and role configuration for a broad range of consumer, mobile, and industrial applications. Fully compliant with the USB Type-C specification, it supports integration with USB 2.x, USB 3.x, and USB Power Delivery (PD) controllers to deliver a complete USB-C subsystem.

Designed for flexibility, the IP core is highly configurable to meet specific design requirements, supporting both ASIC and FPGA implementations while optimizing for area, power, and performance. The IP includes support for Configuration Channel (CC) logic, VCONN power control, plug orientation detection, and role switching, providing a robust interface for next-generation USB connectivity.
