In a move that underscores its commitment to high-efficiency power management, Nexperia has rolled out two new USB Type-C and USB Power Delivery (PD) controller ICs: the NEX52041 and NEX52080. These compact, intelligent chips are designed to streamline the development of fast-charging adapters and multi-port power hubs, offering a powerful blend of flexibility, protection, and protocol support.
Whether you’re building a sleek 18 W phone charger or a robust 140 W laptop adapter, these controllers are engineered to handle it all. They support a wide power range and integrate seamlessly into both single-port and multi-port designs.
- NEX52041: Features 16 kB of MTP-ROM
- NEX52080: Offers 32 kB of MTP-ROM for more complex firmware needs
Both chips include an embedded microcontroller, allowing for firmware customization and updates to keep pace with evolving standards.
These ICs go beyond USB PD—they also support D+/D- based fast charging protocols, ensuring compatibility with legacy devices and proprietary fast-charging technologies.
- Overvoltage Protection up to 30 V: No need for external protection components
- Programmable GPIOs & I²C Interface: Ideal for smart charger designs
- Compact QFN-16 and QFN-24 Packages: Perfect for space-constrained applications
Nexperia’s new controllers are designed to work hand-in-hand with its broader portfolio of components, including AC/DC converters, MOSFETs, GaN FETs, and ESD protection devices. This ecosystem approach simplifies design and accelerates time-to-market for OEMs and developers. As USB Type-C becomes the universal standard for power and data, the demand for smarter, safer, and more adaptable charging solutions is skyrocketing. The NEX52041 and NEX52080 offer a turnkey solution that reduces design complexity while boosting performance and reliability.y leaders.
