Fairchild Semiconductor announced that its FUSB302 comes from the industry's first programmable USB Type-C controller series with power transfer (PD), and is a key component of the new PRO 5 smartphone launched by Meizu, a major Chinese smartphone manufacturer.
Jacky Ke, Meizu Purchasing Director, said: "We are passionate about innovation and are committed to creating smartphones that provide an excellent user experience. Fairchild's products are exactly what we need for Meizu PRO 5.
FUSB302 is the industry's smallest USB Type-C controller, with a PD function of 9-ball WLCSP package only 1.2mm x 1.3mm. As a small addition, its ultra-low power consumption of 25uA (typical) is a key advantage of battery-powered equipment. FUSB302 also supports data role exchange, power role exchange, hard reset, soft reset, active cable and vendor-defined message (VDM) packet transmission. The programmable FUSB302 also provides OEMs with excellent flexibility, allowing a single chip to support multiple applications, and can be upgraded to future standard versions.
Meizu is a recognized innovator in the Chinese smartphone market. Meizu chose FUSB302 to add a new USB Type-C interface function to its latest PRO 5 model. We are very excited. "Jin Zhao, senior director of business management for Fairchild Semiconductor's product line, said." The USB Type-C interface has the advantages of a small, reversible connector, fast charging up to 100W, and ultra-fast high-speed data rates. This addition provides a huge opportunity for smartphone manufacturers to improve the user experience. FUSB302 has the smallest size and lowest power consumption advantages, and can achieve the USB Type-C interface function even on the smallest mobile devices. "
Fairchild offers a comprehensive portfolio of USB Type-C solutions that enable manufacturers to quickly and easily add next-generation USB functionality to smartphones, computers, power adapters, and other devices with USB ports. Fairchild USB Type-C solutions have smaller size and lower power requirements compared to alternatives, helping manufacturers develop thinner and more stylish devices that consume less system power and increase energy efficiency .
