Product data sheet
1 General description
The NX20P0407 is a single-chip USB Type-C port protection device that provides 28V short-to-VBUS overvoltage protection to CC1/CC2 and SBU1/SBU2 pins.
USB Type-C allows VBUS voltage to increase up to 20V through Power delivery protocol. CC1/2 and SBU1/2 pins can be shorted to VBUS due to mechanical twisting and sliding of the connector since Type-C connector contact pins are 25% closer to each other than a micro USB connector. Moisture or fine dust may also cause the 20V VBUS pin to be shorted to adjacent pins.
NX20P0407 enables CC and SBU pins to be more robust in even abnormal conditions.
